GREENWOOD — The Board of Selectmen unanimously chose a contractor Tuesday to pave roads.
The town approved a $500,000 bond last month for the project.
The board selected Bruce A. Manzer Inc. of Anson out of four contenders for the project. Manzer anticipated total costs of $420,276.95. Bidders were required to submit cost estimates for each of seven road projects, and Manzer was the low bidder for five of them and for the total cost.
The town plans to resurface about 3.33 miles of Greenwood Road, 1.06 miles of Vernon Street, 0.74 miles of Old County Road, 0.66 miles of Gore Road, and 0.56 miles of Rowe Hill Road. The bond vote authorized borrowing up to $500,000 from the Maine Municipal Bond Bank or a similar institution at 4.15 percent interest.
Also bidding were Pine Tree Paving of Norway, R.C. and Son Paving of Lewiston, and Pike Industries, which has corporate offices in Belmont, N.H., and a regional office in Lewiston. Pine Tree Paving bid $432,512 for the work, R.C. and Sons Paving bid $493,000, and Pike Industries bid $594,490.
The projects are scheduled for completion by Oct. 15.
