Selectboard accepts $31,300 bid to repair Greendale Road bridge damaged by impaired driver

The Selectboard accepted a $31,300 bid from Gurney to repair a Greendale Road bridge that was damaged by an impaired driver, choosing that proposal over Daniels’ $28,900 bid. The accepted scope includes guardrails and riprap stabilization. Motion to accept Gurney’s proposal was made by Pam Dickman, seconded by Katie Fitzpatrick and passed unanimously.

The board agreed to pursue an insurance claim and restitution through a victim advocate; the minutes state the insurance claim will cover only the concrete rail portion and any additional work beyond that would come from the bridge fund if necessary. The administrative assistant was directed to notify Gurney and request a contract for signature.
