03:39PM / Wednesday, March 20, 2024Print Story | Email Story

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — There are no candidates yet for the Select Board with one week to go before nomination papers are due.

Jeffrey Levanos, who was the only candidate in a special election in 2021, will not run for another term.

Levanos had previously said he was done with public service after serving three terms on the School Committee and two on the Select Board, including being chairman of each at the same time for a period. But vacancies on the board twice had him running again.

He ran as a write-in in 2019 to complete a term when no one stepped forward and on the ballot in the December 2021 election to complete a three-year term ending this year.

Also on the ballot this year are one-year terms for moderator and tree warden; three-year seats on the School Committee, Board of Health, Board of Library Trustees and War Memorial Committee; and one five-year term on the Planning Board.

Nomination papers are now available in the town clerk's office. All signatures must be in ink; no electronic signatures are allowed. Completed nomination papers must be returned to the clerk's office for certification no later than Wednesday, March 27.

North Adams School Project Awards $51M Bid

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Building Committee has awarded the Greylock School project to Fontaine Bros. Inc. of Springfield.

Mayor Jennifer Macksey said she could "breathe a little better" with a bid contract that comes in nearly $2 million under budget.

The committee approved a bid of $50,498,544 on Thursday night that includes two alternates — the rebuild of the Appalachian Trail kiosk and the relocation and reconstruction of the baseball field.

"I will say, all in all, for us to have overall the number of bidders that we had interested in our project, and especially to receive the GC bids that we did, the team Colliers and TSKP certainly did a good job attracting people to us," she said. "But this project ... really shows the testament of the good work that Colliers and TSKP and all of you have been doing throughout this process."

Fontaine had the low bid between Brait Builders of Marshfield and J&J Contractors Inc. of North Billerica.

The project had been bid out at $52,250,000 with three alternates: moving the ballfield, the kiosk and vertical geothermal wells.

Committee members asked Timothy Alix of Collier's International, the owner's project manager, about his impressions of the bidders. He was most familiar with Fontaine, having worked with the company on a half-dozen school projects and noted it was the contractor on the Mountain View Elementary School in Easthampton that the Massachusetts School Building Authority has held up as an example school. He also had some of his colleagues call on projects that he had not personally worked on.
