Just heading out the door to Concord but should be back for the 4:00 PM meeting.
Annualized cost should be part of the annual budget, as in a contractual, monetary town responsibility.
Valuation sets the tax rate, but the town budget is part of the tax effort, I believe. Town Tax effort divided by Town Valuation = Town tax rate.
I suspect a "build contractor" RFQ would go out in the spring/summer if the town approves the warrant article. The one of two "cost contractors" Conestco (the other did not meet requirements set) does not appear "big" enough to get the job done.
I would agree price is locked when the town and contractor have signed a contract.
