LIVERMORE — Selectpersons voted to accept a bid from Livermore Concrete LLC for $2,590 to install a concrete slab at the Transfer Station as part of an upgrade.

The town received three bids by Monday night’s meeting. Livermore Concrete was the low bidder, administrative assistant Kurt Schaub said Wednesday.

Other bidders were Sundown Construction Inc. of Auburn for $4,145 and Curtis Contractors of Jay for $3,300.

The slab will measure 47 feet by 12 feet by 6 inches deep. It will be insulated underneath and reinforced to a rating of 3,000 pounds per square inch, he said previously.

Schaub stressed that residents still need to take their bulky waste to the Jay Transfer Station through Dec. 31.

The town’s contract expires on that day. Livermore will start taking bulky waste at its transfer station on Jan. 1, 2013. That is why the town is upgrading its station now, Schaub said.

In other business, selectmen approved work to be done on trucks and equipment.

O’Connor Motor Co. of Augusta estimated the repairs to the 2008 GMC truck will cost $3,700, Schaub said. That will cover the cost of repairing the problem in the front end, repairing wiring in the engine harnesses, and to diagnose a problem that may be within the transmission, he said.

Voters rejected a proposal to buy a used truck with lower mileage to replace the GMC and on Oct. 18 recommended the truck be fixed.

Highway foreman Roger Ferland also sought estimates for new rear tires for the JCB loader. They will be purchased from New England Truck Tire Centers Inc. in Maine for $1,202, Schaub said.

Repairs to the 2001 F-550 truck were initially expected to cost between $3,400 and $4,200 but additional estimates were being sought at the time of the Board of Selectpersons meeting Monday. The rear main seal and clutch in the truck are to be replaced.

Schaub said Ferland informed him Wednesday that the work will be done for less than $2,000.
