New
Gloucester Town Manager Report
By Rosemary Kulow
Woodman Road Pre-bid Meeting
Nine engineers attended the pre-bid meeting held last
Thursday, which was held at the Fire Station. They
asked many good questions and should be prepared to
submit proposals by December 12th. Any additional
questions they have are due to the Town Manager by
November 22nd. A total of 21 engineering firms requested
RFPs for this project!
Fire Department
I asked the Fire Chief to see that the planks at Bear
Brook Dam are replaced, and he said he would. Deputy
Fire Chief, Tim Bartlett, has stepped down as Deputy
Fire Chief and taken a six-month leave of absence
from the Fire Dept.
Contracts
I gave D.C.S. Construction Corp. notice to proceed
with the transfer station roof replacement project,
and construction is currently underway during days
the transfer station is not open. Somatex, Inc. was
also given notice to proceed with installation of
the Public Works garage crane system. Both the town
hall alarm system and Meetinghouse siding projects
are nearing completion. As agreed, the final coat
of stain will be applied to the Meetinghouse in the
spring.
