Studied practices of Wireless Internet Service Providers (Wisps) and
satellite TV distributors regarding contractor installations. The franchises
often provide coverage to maintain consistency.  Were we to use contractors,
we'd want to establish that they are truly independent contractors if we go
that route, that the Town is not circumventing employment law, and guard
against unlikely but possible blow back in case of a claim or suit arising
from a contractor installation. I entered in discussions with Massamont
Insurance agent regarding Town carrying insurance on contractors. They say
it can't be done and not in their business plan to provide it as they are
municipal only. I think the best scenario is that we use employees, pay them
on a contractor basis, and then we are covered. Employer costs for the town
are workers compensation, and unemployment insurance. Less than 6% in the
aggregate.%.
