Board members have received a letter of recommendation from TG Miller with respect
for the bids for construction of the salt storage building. A Sciarabba said seven sets of plans
were picked up and two bids were received. McPherson Builders came in with a base bid of
$441,712.00 and EJ Construction Group's base bid was $344,730.00. He has reviewed the
bids with Highway Superintendent Jack Bush and they have decided that none of the
alternates can be accepted because of budget: constraints. They will be able to used recycled
asphalt millings outside the building to reduce the Town's expense for paving. They believe the
7.3% contingency amount is sufficient. TG Miller recommends that the board accept the base
bid of $344,730.00.
