Letter from Weston & Sampson re: Landfill capping material - Mr. McQuaid relayed, representatives from Weston & Sampson came down to review the stockpiling method and area for the fill coming from the high school project." "It was determined that most of the 25,000 cubic yards can be stockpiled on the crest of the landfill to male it easier to spread out when the capping; time comes and also to burro the landfill material that we're bringing in." "I was unofficially made aware of the fact that there i; possibly a $3.00 per cubic yard fee going to be charged by some town entity for this fill." "My menzo to the High School Building Committee simply stated that if there is any excess fill that the Board of Health can use up to 25,000 cubic yards in their capping program, then all of a sudden fill started arriving." "I certainly didn't sign any contract with anybody to pay for anything and the trucking company hasn't contacted us for any reimbursement." "I brought this up in the course of discussions with Town Counsel and the Executive Secretary when I was up at the D.E.P. and was informed that the best way to resolve this issue, not having gone out to bid and I didn't think we would have to because this has to do with solid waste, would be for the Executive Secretary to submit a change order to the High School Building contract indicating that 25,000 cubic yards would be brought front the excavation of the site to the landfill." "The issue of reimbursement, if there is indeed a bill coming down the road, can be addressed at that time." "I don't hesitate in thinking that we can pay for that, if anyone needs to pay for that, out of our capping budget." Mr. Doherty commented, "We never offered to purchase it and I don't think we are going to offer,"
