The contractor selected will be responsible for providing all labor, equipment, services, and specified materials to ensure the work is completed by November 1, 2025. The project is governed by the town’s procurement policies, with the town reserving the right to accept or reject any bids, either in whole or part, and the contract is subject to state set-aside and compliance requirements. The contract value is estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with the primary point of contact being Tanya Pond, reachable via email or phone. The project is part of a broader effort to enhance accessibility and infrastructure at the community center, aligning with the town’s commitment to improving public spaces.
