Summary

The town reported extra late activity on sewer bids because bidders changed proposals to reflect different discharge options; engineers requested a two-day extension and the bid opening was rescheduled to Thursday at 2:00 PM.

Engineers handling the North Creek sewer project told the board that bidders adjusted proposals late in the process after spotting an option that allowed discharge to the Hudson River without ammonia limits, which altered required plant sizing or supplier systems. Because of that activity the engineers requested a short extension of two days, and the board noted bids would be opened Thursday at 2 p.m.

Board members characterized the new activity as promising competition and flagged that minority- and women-owned-business opportunities appeared on Contract Reporter listings for the project. The board encouraged interested members to attend the opening; staff said Cedarwood will tabulate bids and that the public is welcome to observe the process.
