No bids for removal of nine ash trees; Selectboard to consult Tree Warden and re-issue RFP
Summary
After receiving no bids to remove nine endangered ash trees on and around the Common, the Selectboard voted to consult Tree Warden Dustin Putnam, modify the RFP, and re-issue the invitation to bid; the Highway Foreman confirmed the street can be temporarily closed for the project.
The Selectboard recorded that no bids were received to remove nine endangered ash trees located on and around the Common. The board voted (motion by Susan Culp, seconded by Shauna Prime) to consult Tree Warden Dustin Putnam, revise the request for proposals, and re-issue the invitation to bid; Highway Foreman Mike Hastings confirmed the street where the trees stand can be temporarily closed to accommodate the work.
The minutes note the Board’s intent to secure appropriate contracting and confirm traffic control. The action preserves public-safety considerations while seeking bids that match budget and scope constraints. (Provenance: SEG 012)
