The Community Preservation Committee will be receiving a chunk of change back into its coffers after the town accepted the lowest qualified bid for the renovation of the Winn Brook Tennis Courts.
Century Paving and Construction of Fall River was awarded the contract to replace the four tennis courts adjacent to the Winn Brook School, according to Jay Marcotte, the town’s director of the Department of Public Works. It was the low bid of the 16 firms submitting proposals for the job; he told the Board of Selectmen on Monday, April 5.
The work will begin on April 17 with a completion date of mid-June.
The good news is Century’s estimated cost of $231,100 with a 10 percent contingency – totaling $289,000 – is below the $325,000 the CPC granted and Town Meeting approved last year to repair the courts.
If the job is completed as expected, the $36,000 in savings will be transferred back into the CPC’s budget, said Marcotte.
Great news we use the all the time. It would be great also if the grounds we maintained as well on going after this rehab effort… Doesn’t happen now.
