Warren Special Town Council Meeting-Council Chambers
Published: Jul 1, 2026
Council Awards ADA Accessible Bleacher Installation Bid to Lowest Bidder at $82,000
The council discussed and took action on bids for the ADA accessible bleacher installation and site work. Three bids were received: Lucille Brothers at $82,000, WHPES General Contractor at $122,816, and Practice General Contractor at $126,000. Despite Practice General Contractor not being the lowest bidder, they were selected due to their familiarity as the original installer at Bristol and potential possession of the original plans. Concerns were raised about the significant cost difference ($44,000) between the lowest and selected bids, with some council members arguing that experience alone did not justify the higher price. Ultimately, a motion was made and passed to approve the $82,000 bid from Lucille Brothers.
Warren Proclaims July 3rd, 2026 as America 250 and 250 Years of Postal Service Day

The proclamation highlights the historical significance of the postal service connecting communities and facilitating commerce for 250 years, and specifically acknowledges its service to Warren. The date July 3rd, 2026, was proclaimed as America 250 and 250 Years of Postal Service Day in Warren. A motion to accept the proclamation was made and passed.
Techline Sports Lighting Awarded Athletic Field Lighting Contract for $331,454
The council approved awarding a bid for athletic field lighting and installation to Techline Sports Lighting for $331,454.00. This was the lowest of five bids received. Techline Sports Lighting, based in Austin, Texas, was chosen due to its competitive pricing, national experience with major projects, and ability to meet the project timeline. The company has also completed local projects, addressing concerns about familiarity with Rhode Island/Massachusetts regulations. The project involves installing new lighting and has a grant match requirement, with discussions on potentially using grant funds for conduit installation ($20,000) related to powering the field and potential camera installations for police use.
Free Yoga Sessions Approved for Warrentown Beach on Wednesdays
The council approved a request for the use of Warrentown Beach for free yoga instructions every Wednesday at 6 PM until August 25th. The instruction will be provided by Jeffrey Brown of Ocean State Park Yoga and Wellness. The approval was granted despite the applicant missing a deadline, and it was noted that he had conducted similar sessions the previous year. A brief discussion occurred regarding a potential typo in the end date on the application (August 26th vs. August 25th), with a motion to approve to the 26th to be safe.
