Borough Council Awards Dam Construction Contract

At the Borough Council meeting of July 27th a contract was awarded to Northeast Remsco Construction for the construction of Upper and Lower Aetna Dams. Northeast Remsco Construction was the lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount of $8,238,632 ($4,004,105 for Upper Aetna and $4,234,508 for Lower Aetna.) These prices were in line with the higher range of the previously prepared estimates by the Borough's Engineers and within the funding previously approved by the Borough.

A pre-construction meeting will be held in early August to kick-off the project. At this point, dam construction activities are expected to begin in late August/ early September with primary concrete work being performed in the November to February time frame.
