PARIS — Voters at next month’s annual town meeting will weigh in on whether the town should spend nearly $50,000 to replace the boilers at the Fire Station.

According to Town Manager Natalie Andrews, one of the station’s boilers “is completely out of service and the other is soon to follow.” The station is at 137 Western Ave.

The town received two bids to replace the boilers. The Select Board at Monday’s meeting accepted Fire Chief Mark Blaquiere’s recommendation and took the higher of the two bids for $48,755 from Thayer of Auburn. Although it’s $5,000 more than the lower bid, Thayer’s proposal included all of the specifications needed to meet inspection guidelines.

The vote was 4-1, with Selectman Christopher Summers voting against accepting the higher bid.

Due to the amount of the bid, the expenditure must be approved at a town meeting. Instead of holding a special town meeting, the Select Board decided to include the purchase on the town warrant at the annual town meeting, scheduled for June 16.

If approved by voters, the money will be appropriated from the general fund, which has more than $2 million.
