9 Board of Selectmen Minutes July 27, 2020 Discussion and Approval of Change of Scope of Route 151 Corridor Improvement Project: Catherine Laurent: (continued) Phase I would allow for the project to move forward from the Mashpee Rotary to the Old Barnstable Road intersection. Phase II would encompass improvements including wastewater from the Old Barnstable Road intersection to the Mashpee Town Line. It was agreed the solution was worth the effort as the budget estimate for the Route 151 Corridor Improvement project is currently estimated to cost$32.5 million. This created an $11.2 million shortage. The project limits initially proposed improvements from the Mashpee Rotary to the Mashpee Town Line. To achieve meaningful reductions in costs the project limits proposed for deferral included the limit from the Mashpee Rotary to the Frank Hick's Drive/Jobs Fishing Road intersection due to budgetary constraints. Under the change of scope, the Town is now able to proceed with the project from the Mashpee Rotary to Old Barnstable Road fully funded through the Transportation Improvement Plan. The project should go to bid in 2021 with construction to commence in the fall of 2021. Motion made by Selectman Gottlieb to authorize the Town of Mashpee through its Town Manager and DPW Director to proceed with the Route 151 Corridor Improvement Project included in the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) from the Mashpee Rotary to the Old Barnstable Road intersection with construction to be fully funded through state and federal monies.
