Wastewater
contract likely
to be awarded in November
THURMONT, Md. – A contract for overhauling the town’s
wastewater collection system will likely be awarded during November,
according to a Richard K. May, Thurmont clerk-treasurer.
To date, the town has received two bids to perform the proposed
work, according to May.
He said the low bidder for the project was Ross Construction,
Inc., Mt. Airy, which came in at $1.6 million. W.F. Delauter
& Son submitted the high bid at $1,872,77, May said. He
added that the town does not anticipate receiving any other
bids.
The current bidding round is the town’s second effort
at awarding a contract. The initial round produced a single
bid of about $1.9 million from Delauter, who subsequently helped
redraft the bids specs when town administrators felt his bid
was too high.
“They had a budget of $1.2 million for the project,”
Delauter told The Dispatch. When his bid proved too high, Delauter
helped the town redraft the specs to trim down the proposed
scope for the re-bidding process. Then he lost the bid to Ross.
May said the town would like to begin the work sometime in December,
necessitating the awarding of the contract in the weeks ahead.
