Whitingham sets RFP timetable: issue Sept. 3, questions due Sept. 10, bids open Sept. 17
Summary
The Selectboard set an expedited RFP timeline for the highway garage project: the RFP will be posted Sept. 3; prospective bidders should direct questions to consultant Jon Saccoccio by Sept. 10; and bids will be opened via Teams at 5 p.m. on Sept. 17.
The Whitingham Selectboard fixed key dates for the highway garage RFP at its Sept. 2 special meeting. The board directed that the RFP be issued on Sept. 3 and that prospective bidders submit questions to consultant Jon Saccoccio by Sept. 10; Saccoccio will answer questions and share responses with all potential bidders.
Staff will post the RFP on the state bid website, Dodge, and one additional site; bids will be opened at 5 p.m. on Sept. 17 in a Teams meeting. The board selected work schedule 2a for the project and decided not to evaluate alternatives 2b and 2c, citing contractor availability and a desire to accelerate the schedule.
The minutes record a contingency: if construction is not fully complete by November, trucks should be able to park in the new garage but tools may remain in Connex storage boxes for a longer period. The Selectboard recorded that the final RFP draft reflecting these timeline and scope decisions would be reviewed and approved at the regular Selectboard meeting later that evening.
