LIVERMORE Selectpersons voted Tuesday night to approve a paving bid from Pike Industries of Fairfield.
Pike’s offer of $331,341.25 was the lowest of five. The others were P & B Paving of Gray for $445,589.85, St. Laurent & Son of Lewiston for $352,800, All States Construction of Richmond for $334,485.22 and Spencer Group Paving of Turner for $337,677.19.
“That’s pretty competitive right there,” Selectperson Brett Deyling said.
The work includes sections of Norlands, Goding and Waters Hill roads.
In other business, the board approved changes to credit card spending limits for the fire chief and administrative assistant as part of a new credit card policy. The limit for the fire chief’s card was raised from $500 to $2,500.
Board members agreed to bring the discrepancy to Treasurer Mary Castonguay’s attention.
Administrative Assistant Aaron Miller reviewed the town’s Purchasing Policy with board members who requested that Miller expand the policy’s five articles by referring to other municipalities’ policies.
The policy outlines the town’s purchasing procedures and promotes fair and equitable treatment of all suppliers of goods and services. Proposed changes by the board included omitting the requirement of the town administrator’s written approval of supplies or services exceeding $1,000.
Selectperson Brett Deyling also proposed changing the language of Section 4.E so purchase negotiations would be unnecessary for purchases less than $2,500, during emergencies, or when it is “impracticable or impossible to obtain competition,” as worded in the policy.
