Hopkinton opts to adopt highway work-permit form; declines expensive software purchase
Summary
Highway Superintendent Crump said a Williamson Software quote was higher than expected and presented a Highway Work Permit Application; the board adopted the work-permit application and discussed building local tools instead of purchasing the expensive software.
Highway Superintendent Crump told the board that the Williamson Software quote for the Highway Department was "much higher than anyone expected" and that he could not justify requesting the town to buy it. Board members discussed alternatives, including having someone local build spreadsheets or simple programs for departmental use.
Crump also presented a Highway Work Permit Application for utility work in the town right-of-way to create a formal record of work and liability for damages; Councilperson Votra moved, seconded by Councilperson Eakins, to adopt the work-permit application and the motion passed unanimously. The town will use the form to require permits for utility and other work on town roads.
