Board approves award for Seneca Falls wastewater treatment plant replacement after multiple bids
Summary
After reviewing multiple bids, the town board authorized awarding the wastewater treatment plant replacement project and agreed to move funds from reserves to cover costs above budget; board members noted 6–7 bids and higher than expected pricing.
The board voted to authorize the award for the Seneca Falls wastewater treatment plant replacement project after staff reported multiple contractor bids and higher costs than anticipated.
The chair said bids were opened by the engineer firm and that there were six to seven proposals; board members agreed to shift funds from reserves to cover the increased cost, with one member noting the project would draw from an identified account to cover the difference. "There's 7 bids. A little higher than we thought, but we're gonna remove funds...to cover the extra cost," S1 said while announcing the bids and funding plan.
The motion to award the contract passed. Members requested follow‑up information on bid openings and engineer review; one member asked for clarity on who opened bids when the chair had been on vacation, and staff confirmed firm representatives attended.
