Catskill awards $80,100 spill‑containment contract for water treatment plant to Halsted Excavating
Summary
The Village of Catskill awarded an $80,100 contract to Halsted Excavating for a secondary chemical-containment project at the water treatment plant, accepting the lowest qualified bid and authorizing the president to sign pending required paperwork including a performance bond.
The Village of Catskill Board voted on May 27 to award the water treatment plant spill‑containment contract to Halsted Excavating for $80,100, the lowest qualified bid received for the secondary containment project.
Bids received on May 26 were listed as: Halsted Excavating $80,100; Hubbell Inc $128,640; Dejong Brothers $137,155; Flach Industries $185,266. The resolution conditions contract award on receiving required paperwork, including a performance bond. The Board authorized the Board President to sign agreements and documents necessary to execute the contract and commence services.
The resolution was presented by Trustee Peter Grasse and recorded as seconded by Trustee Thomas Boomhower; voting was recorded in the minutes as unanimous (all trustees voting yes). The project is intended to provide required secondary containment for chemicals used at the water treatment plant. The minutes note that Halsted Excavating was the lowest qualified bidder and award is conditioned on receipt of appropriate paperwork.
The Board’s authorization allows staff to move forward with contract execution once the contractor submits the required insurance, bonds and related documents; the meeting record does not include a start date for construction or a procurement justification beyond the bid tabulation.
Next steps include receipt and verification of paperwork and execution of the contract by the Board President so Halsted Excavating can begin work on the containment project.
