Thompson board to advertise bids for Kiamesha Lake wastewater-plant upgrade; engineer offers brief update
Summary
The Town Board voted to advertise for bids for the Kiamesha Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, with bids to be opened June 25, 2026; Delaware Engineering provided a short project update and a revised project summary was provided to the board.
The Town of Thompson on June 2 voted to advertise for bids to upgrade the Kiamesha Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant, scheduling bid opening for Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 2 p.m. at Town Hall. The resolution directing advertisement (Res. No. 271) passed unanimously.
Delaware Engineering’s Dave Ohman, P.E., gave the board a brief update on the related Emerald Green wastewater treatment plant project and provided a revised project summary to the board for review. The board authorized the Town Clerk to publish the bid notice in the official newspaper and to accept bids in accordance with the prepared specifications.
Why it matters: the upgrade is a capital project for the Town’s wastewater infrastructure; competitive bidding begins the procurement process and will determine next-phase contractors and costs. The board did not vote on a contractor at the June 2 meeting; the next formal step is the public bid opening on June 25.
The engineer’s update was informational; the board’s formal action at the meeting was limited to approving the bid advertisement and setting the opening time and place. The advertisement and bid documents will provide technical specifications and submission requirements; the board will consider bids after the formal opening.
The board’s action places the project on a public procurement timeline and begins formal contractor selection.
