Trappe council green-lights ENR upgrade design and directs staff to seek bids
Summary
The council approved an agreement amendment to allow GMB to design the Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) upgrade for Trappe’s wastewater plant and to solicit bids with a stricter schedule; the motion to put the phase out to bid passed unanimously.
The Trappe Town Council approved moving the design and bidding phase of an Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) upgrade for the town wastewater treatment plant forward, directing staff to put the project out to bid with a tighter schedule. Attorney Lyndsey Ryan said GMB’s amendment would allow the firm to complete engineering design, handle bidding, meet with contractors, answer questions and make a recommendation to the Council on next steps.
"GMB has presented an agreement for the engineering design and bid services for the Town’s ENR upgrade," Attorney Lyndsey Ryan said, summarizing the scope the amendment would authorize. After discussion, Commissioner Jeremy Newnam moved to put the phase out to bid and request a more strict schedule; Commissioner Walter Chase seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. The Council additionally approved a separate RFP to replace and rebuild the bar/filter screen at the treatment plant, a project the Council said can proceed now without affecting grant funds.
