Trappe council awards ENR treatment plant design contract to KCI Technologies
Summary
The Town of Trappe voted unanimously March 13, 2025 to accept KCI Technologies' $679,500 bid for design and bidding services for the enhanced nutrient removal (ENR) treatment plant upgrade, citing lower cost and an earlier construction readiness date.
The Town of Trappe council voted unanimously on March 13, 2025 to accept KCI Technologies’ bid of $679,500 to provide design and bidding services for the town’s enhanced nutrient removal (ENR) treatment plant upgrade. Commissioner Michael Sullivan moved to accept the bid and President Schmidt seconded; the vote was Potter – Y, Schmidt – Y, Sullivan – Y, Newnam – Y.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan told the council that Rauch, Inc. had withdrawn its bid on March 10, leaving KCI and GMB as the remaining interviewees. Council members said they used the RFP criteria scale to score proposals, and highlighted two deciding factors: KCI’s lower price (reported as $41,754.73 less than GMB’s proposal) and a faster estimated schedule. The minutes state KCI estimated readiness for construction in “early 2026,” while GMB’s estimate was October 2026.
The council’s action approves KCI Technologies to proceed with design and bidding services at the awarded amount. The minutes do not record further contract terms, contingency reserves, or a firm construction start date; procurement and contract execution steps were not specified in the record.
