No bids were received with the first <br /> issuance of a RFP. The second and third RFP received one bid response, same bidder. The pre- <br /> engineered storage garage for construction, a 42x60' building to be located at the DPW would house <br /> small equipment currently kept outdoors. Equipment to be stored includes chippers, tractors and <br /> smaller equipment generally left without protection from the elements. <br /> The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee approved and recommended a budget of <br /> $125,000 to the May 2018 Town Meeting. The overage was approved by the CIP earlier this month. <br /> The balance of the 174,050 project would be paid through funds available in the CIP bond to move the <br /> project forward. <br /> Town Manager Rodney C. Collins recommended approval. The DPW has articulated the need for <br /> additional storage, and this project has been in the CIP for a number of years. It was noted the third <br /> bid represented a 14% decrease from the second bid although the cost is in excess of the initial CIP <br /> funding. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Cotton to award a contract for the DPW Storage Garage to Collins <br /> Construction in the amount of$174,050 with funding to derive from the CIP as referenced. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman O'Hara. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 4-0. <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Gottlieb,yes Selectman Cotton,yes Selectman O'Hara,yes <br /> Selectman Sherman,yes Opposed, none <br />
