THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Erving’s Select Board and Capital Planning Committee are set to review competing quotes for a Wacker Neuson EW65 wheeled excavator and attachments under MA State Contract FAC-116. Town Meeting authorized a five‑year lease with annual payments capped at $49,420, but current quotes with mower and asphalt cutter slightly exceed this and require funding decisions.
Vendors of heavy equipment and attachments should note the Town is still finalizing scope and financing, including whether to buy certain implements separately from capital or highway funds. A focused conversation on value options, alternate configurations, or financing structures could influence the July 13 joint meeting outcome.
Town debating use of Highway Improvement special appropriation vs. Capital Planning/Town Meeting for separate attachment purchases; package is being bought off state FAC-116 contract.
