Town Commissioners — 2025-12-16

This record is the December 16, 2025 special meeting of the Queenstown Commissioners to select a contractor for the water improvement project. Commissioners voted 2-0 to select Lindstrom as the recommended contractor — the low and most responsive bidder at $8,290,530 — and instructed the Town Attorney to send an award letter to USDA by the December 17 deadline requesting an extension of funds that expire at the end of December. The draft award letter will include contingencies that USDA review and approve Lindstrom as the qualified responsive bidder, that Lindstrom agree to modify submittals to reduce project scope, that the contract price be reduced to $6,900,000 to match the reduced scope, and an added contingency that a mutually agreeable contract be executed. Commissioners expressed concerns about sewer capacity, fee increases, and additional load on the wastewater treatment plant; the attorney clarified the award and bid address only the water portions and sewer issues will be discussed later. The motion to have the Town Attorney draft and send the award letter passed 2-0 and the meeting adjourned at 1:51 p.m.
