SOUTHWICK – On Monday night, the Select Board signed a contract awarding Caracas Construction the bid for the Veterans Street project. Caracas based in Ludlow, Mass., was the lowest bidder at $327,380.
Veterans Street is a dead-end road off of Point Grove Road near Congamond Lake and has several issues that need to be fixed including road widening, new drainage, and water line improvements.
DPW Director Randy Brown is confident that addressing the deteriorating pavement and undersized water line will improve Veterans Street.
“Those will all be addressed through this project,” said Brown.
Brown also noted that the Veterans Street project is being fully-funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
Caracas will begin to address some elements of the project in the next few months but the majority of the improvements will be made in the spring of 2018.
