The Rockport Select Board meeting scheduled for April 13 has now been rescheduled to April 22, at 5:30 p.m.
ROCKPORT – The Select Board in Rockport will convene via teleconference April 13 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be streamed live and the public is able to participate there via a chat function.
Additionally, public comments or questions should be sent to the Town Manager at wpost@rockportmaine.gov.
The agenda includes considering five different bid submissions to rebuild the the publicly-owned Walker Park seawall. Walker Park is on the west side of Rockport Harbor, with picnic tables and playground equipment.
The Walker Park Seawall Reconstruction Project was put out to bid with three options:
1: if constructed in conjunction with the neighboring property in winter/spring of 2020
#2: if constructed independently of the neighboring property’s project in winter/spring 2020
#3: if constructed independently of the neighboring property’s project in fall 2020/winter 2021
Gartley & Dorsky, a Rockport engineering company, tabulated the bids and reported that the two lowest bidders for the project provided the same bid price for each scenario.
“Because of budgeting purposes, I chose to select completion in the fall of this year or winter of 2021,” said Town Manager William Post, in a pre-meeting memo. “After a thorough review of references and projects of the lowest bidder by Gartley & Dorsky, we recommend that the Board award the project to L.G. Whitcomb Landscaping, LLC, of Morrill for $39,000. Funding for this project is included in the proposed FY21 budget in the Parks Account.”
