LIVERMORE FALLS — Voters at the April 29 annual town meeting will be asked to approve $92,995 to purchase gear and a dump body for the new plow truck.

Selectmen on Feb. 4 approved the $92,995 bid from Viking-Cives of Maine in Lewiston for the equipment. The other bid was from HP Fairfield in Skowhegan for $107,455.50.

Town Manager Carrie Castonguay said voters must approve the spending. “They won’t be getting their money until after July 1,” she said.

Selectman Jim Long asked if the warrant article could be worded to be effective in May and use money from reserves.

She said this year’s allocation was spent on the plow truck for Public Works.

In August 2024 selectmen approved a $157,015 bid from O’Connor GMC for the vehicle.

In another matter, Castonguay said a company has been chosen to develop a master recreation plan.

“We met last week and we did select a vendor,” Castonguay said. Fourth Economy consulting firm of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, has done work in Maine, she said.

“We will have the finished product by the end of July,” she said.

The company plans two visits of three days each.

“They will be meeting with stakeholders and doing surveys,” she said.

Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls, through the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments, received a grant from the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agency’s Recreation Economy for Rural Communities to develop a master recreation plan.
