Council awards remediation contract to County Environmental Engineering
Summary
Caribou council approved a remediation contract with County Environmental Engineering for a cleanup in the Bird's Eye area; staff said work should be complete by fall and is separate from other construction projects in the area.
CARIBOU, Maine — The Caribou City Council approved a bid from County Environmental Engineering to perform environmental remediation for a small area in the Bird's Eye neighborhood, a staff member told the council.
Councilors voted to accept the bid after confirming a timeline for the work. Councilor Bagley asked whether the remediation schedule implied a construction start and staff said the longest portion of the process would be advertising and bidding any follow‑on work, but staff expected work to be complete this fall. City staff clarified the remediation area is not part of the police station site and that only a small portion of Bird's Eye would be affected.
The vote was taken after a motion and a second; councilors present voted in favor and the mayor announced, "Motion carries." The action authorizes the city manager to proceed with the remediation contract with County Environmental Engineering, and staff said they will coordinate scheduling and procurement steps before field work begins.
