From the meeting
On August 26, 2026 the board opened bids for 900 feet by 22 feet of shim asphalt on Water Street and voted to award the work to County Concrete and Construction. County Concrete bid $27,000, while North East Paving bid $37,700. The minutes show this as a decided street repair job, with the bid opening also identifying the competitive field for similar paving work.
The town also said no paving on Short Street would happen this year while grant options are sought.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
