Select Board Awards South Village Wastewater Tree‑Removal Contract to Hunter Excavating for $6,800
Summary
The Select Board accepted a $6,800 bid from Hunter Excavating to remove trees for the South Village wastewater project, authorizing the town administrator to execute necessary documents; bids from Save a Tree ($9,865) and Wise Oak/Davy Tree ($43,572) were also reviewed.
At its Jan. 5 meeting the Londonderry Select Board reviewed bids for tree removal related to the South Village wastewater project and voted to award the work to Hunter Excavating at an estimated cost of $6,800.
Staff described the scope: approximately one‑tenth of an acre on town/right‑of‑way property and five trees at 3115 Route 100 (a private‑property corner lot) are included in the work. Three bids were read into the record: Hunter Excavating $6,800; Save a Tree (listed as Save a Tree Card Tree in the packet) $9,865; and Wise Oak / Davy Tree $43,572.
A board member moved to accept Hunter Excavating’s proposal and authorize the town administrator to execute the documents necessary to hire the contractor; the motion was seconded and approved. Board members discussed that Hunter’s lower bid is substantially less than the next lowest and said the contractor’s proximity reduced mobilization costs.
The motion included authorization for the town administrator to sign contract documents; the board did not specify a start date in the recorded discussion.
