Council awards $63,500 contract for Jesse M. Smith Library children's restroom remodel

The Burrillville Town Council approved a contract award on Nov. 12 to complete a children's‑restroom remodel at the Jesse M. Smith Library. Matthew Lucci, library director, asked the council to award Bid #26‑001 to Stillwater Construction for a project amount not to exceed $63,500 to renovate the upstairs children's restroom.

Councilmember Anderson moved to authorize the agreement and noted the Champlin Foundation grant will cover the cost (the grant exceeds the bid). The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Implementation: the town will execute the contract with Stillwater Construction and track project costs against the Champlin Foundation grant. Project timing and a completion date were not specified at the meeting; the library director will provide construction scheduling details to the town and the council as the project moves forward.
