“Selectman D’Innocenzo moved that the Board authorize the chair to execute the contract with CJP and Sons Construction Company, Inc. for road repair in an amount not to exceed $200,000 annually as presented. Selectman Trindade seconded. Discussion: Selectman Foresto asked how they are held accountable for completing the work based on the matrix. Mr. D’Amico stated because they submitted unit pricing. He stated the matrix was utilized for bid comparison as they must be very specific with the unit pricing for comparison of all the bid submissions. He stated they will group the work for efficient use of the contractor. Selectman D’Innocenzo asked why the bids vary so greatly. Mr. D’Amico stated this company has the one advantage of working with us before noting that they are based in Millis. He believes the large gaps in bids is based on how busy some of these contractor are. Selectman Crowley noted that this states work must be completed in twenty days and asked about the cost impact if it goes beyond those twenty days. Mr. D’Amico stated the bid pricing will hold. Selectman Crowley asked who had the contract last year and what has been the expenditure to date. Mr. D’Amico stated this company did and did not have the spending to date available at this time. Ms. Pratt will provide this to the Board. VOTE: 4-0-0.” (Motion: D’Innocenzo, second: Trindade)
