Town to seek bids for Concord Town Hall painting; holds $10,000 pending final work

The board confirmed that signing work at the Concord Town Hall is complete and agreed to withhold $10,000 until spring seeding and mulching are finished. Members said Harold's work is done and discussed next steps for heating/propane and painting.

One member said the town hall needs painting on multiple sides and recommended seeking bids; the building reserve balance was noted at approximately $208,000. The board asked staff to solicit bids by early March and to evaluate phasing options (two sides this year, two sides next year) if the full cost is prohibitive.

Public-works staff said they will meet with the propane vendor to relocate tanks for safer access and report back. Staff were asked to prepare an ad for bids and to gather estimates by March 1 for board consideration.
