# J.V. Fletcher Library Board of Trustees - October 5th, 2026

The J.V. Fletcher Library Board of Trustees’ October 5, 2026 meeting included reports on the library construction project and procurement actions. The committee voted to recommend American Alarm for the security contract award and forward it to the Select Board for final approval; the security bid was within the approved project budget, though no amount was stated. It also voted to recommend ProAV for the AV contract at $255,275—within the $260,000 budget—subject to minor clarifications and Select Board approval. A late bid was excluded. The separate IT solicitation was discontinued after the Town determined its IT department would procure and install the needed hardware and software internally; the project electrical contractor, Bright Light Electrical, is providing equipment racks.

The committee approved PCO 109 for $44,875 to remove and replace unsuitable soils in the parking area. It also approved a warrant totaling approximately $694,384.84. Construction updates covered site and building work, with the previously reported schedule forecasting substantial completion at the end of February and final completion at the end of March; the project team said those dates had not changed and was monitoring weather-related milestones. The committee discussed moving its January meeting from January 4 to January 11 so invoices and other materials would be available.
