Mburgh Village Seeks Bids to Study Sewer Expansion

MIDDLEBURGH - Village of Middleburgh officials approved an engineering planning grant Monday and will seek proposals to study an expansion of the sewer system.

The village is requesting proposals from engineering firms to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report to address the Sanitary Sewer Expansion and inflow and infiltration within the Village’s Sanitary Sewer System. 

The project has qualified for funding from the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) Engineering Planning Grant program.

Proposals will be reviewed and selected based on technical skills, relevant project experience and knowledge of EFC grant/loan-funded projects. Interested parties should contact the village clerk for a complete copy of the RFQ at 518-827-5143, or middleburghvillage@midtel.net.  Qualification Statements will be accepted until 3PM on December 8.

The village has received a $50,000 EFC Engineering Planning Grant to study a potential sewer line expansion.

The study will focus on Grove Street, Maple Avenue, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Village officials are hoping to expand the sewer system in order to lower the cost to users. The actual expansion would require another, and much larger, grant. The sewer plant has enough capacity to add new users.

The village also approved paying the local match Monday.
