Bill > H4348

This bill authorizes the town of Norton to pay an unpaid bill of $34,001.00 to Ryan Asphalt Paving, LLC for driveway pavement work completed at the Timothy Plains Cemetery, despite the town not following standard procurement and competitive bidding laws when awarding the contract. Specifically, the bill allows the town treasurer to use previously appropriated funds to settle this outstanding invoice, effectively providing a legal mechanism to pay for work that was already performed but did not strictly adhere to the usual municipal contracting procedures. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, which is typical for local approval measures that address specific municipal financial issues. By passing this legislation, the town can retroactively validate the payment and resolve the outstanding financial obligation to the contractor.
