Norfolk County Commissioners Meeting 10-28-2026

At the October 28, 2026, meeting of the Norfolk County Commissioners, the board approved a contract with DNF Plumbing and Heating Inc. for on-call plumbing services. The contract begins with a one-year term and may be extended; member cities and towns can also use it, allowing them to access the county’s procurement without conducting a separate process. The county said the plumbing agreement is part of a broader regional-services effort involving more than 20 contracts. The commissioners also approved county and school payroll warrants totaling $915,831.28; no other contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.

The county director reported that $2.3 million remained unspent across 38 ARPA grants as of September 30, and that communities must return unspent funds or expend them on approved projects by November 27, 2026, with grant expenditures completed by December 31. More than $50 million in ARPA funding had gone to infrastructure, including drinking-water, stormwater, and PFAS-related projects. A resident requested records concerning the date and terms of the county’s solar agreement with Pirsig Energy for 400 Main Street in Walpole, related litigation costs, and accrued interest; the meeting did not record action on the request. The county also discussed a national fire-truck litigation effort and possible regional services, but no related procurement decision was made.
