Select Board approves Save A Tree contracts for Boynton and Little Pond road work
Summary
The Londonderry Select Board approved two contracts with Save A Tree to remove hazardous trees on Boynton Road and along Little Pond Road, authorizing up to $9,700 for the Boynton stretch and up to $6,610 for additional ash-tree removals; funding for the second contract will come from the Emerald Ash fund.
The Londonderry Select Board voted to hire Save A Tree to remove hazardous trees along Boynton Road and to approve a separate contract for additional ash-tree removals near Little Pond Road.
S4 moved the Boynton Road contract, describing a scope of tree removal and preliminary ditch work with a proposed price not to exceed $9,700; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "I would make a motion to hire Save A Tree ... for a dollar amount not to exceed $9,700," S4 said when presenting the recommendation.
The board also approved a second Save A Tree contract for removals tied to underdrain/paving preparations and ditching work near Little Pond Road and Shave's Road for an amount not to exceed $6,610, with funding identified from the Emerald Ash fund. Board members discussed separating a maple tree requested by a landowner into a separate line item on the contractor invoice to allow different accounting treatment.
Board members noted that some road closures of four to five hours would be needed for the work and that traffic control costs could affect the day rate. The town administrator was authorized to sign the contracts on the board's behalf.
