These closures will allow restaurants and retailers to utilize the street for additional seating and display of merchandise in compliance with state and county requirements for social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to ensure the safety of these closures for all members of the public, it is necessary to retain a company which can provide both the labor for weekly set up and take down and all of the necessary traffic control devices. Town staff has determined that Statewide Safety Systems is best qualified to provide these services. The amount of the proposed contract to cover all of the approved closures is $35,000. PUBLIC CONTACT Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. FISCAL IMPACT Adequate funds have been appropriated in the 2019/20 Operating Budget.
