The district set a deadline of Jan. 6 to reply to a request for qualifications for an OPM to help with design development, construction documents, bid and award, construction and final closeout of a station at 562 Main St. (Route 2), just east of Aubuchon Hardware. The RFQ gives a ballpark estimate of the project s cost at $10 million, which would be subject to a vote of all district, i.e., town, residents. The district s Building Committee hopes to interview candidates by the end of the month and sign a contract by Feb. 19, according to the RFQ. Time is going by quickly, so we ll assume the Building Committee and chief and officers will be digging into responses after the 6th, district Treasurer Corydon Thurston said last week.
