Bennington’s wastewater treatment facility must add phosphorus removal by December 2028 under a new state discharge permit. Aldrich + Elliott has completed a preliminary engineering report and is now designing a new chemical addition and tertiary sand filter system built into an existing structure. The town is applying for Step I and Step II State Revolving Fund loans totaling $254,400, with a projected overall project cost of about $5,000,000 and construction planned for March 2027–March 2028. This is still in design and funding setup, so contractors and equipment vendors can begin positioning for the upcoming Step III construction phase and related controls, gates, pumps, and filtration equipment.
Pre-RFP
$5,000,000Jul 13, 2026Bennington’s Economic Development Committee and staff presented detailed analysis of adopting a 1% local option tax on sales, rooms & meals, alcohol, and cannabis, projecting about $1,819,428 in annual net revenue. The Select Board allocated $2,000 from its contingency fund to create an informational video and printed materials, and is eyeing a March 2027 town meeting vote with a proposal finalized by September 2026. This planning effort creates near-term needs for public outreach, economic analysis, project prioritization, and policy design tied to how roughly $1.8M per year would be invested in property tax relief, infrastructure, recreation, and downtown vitality.
Budget Planning
$1,819,428Jul 13, 2026Construction of a new Po Valley fire station, funded by a congressional designated spending award.
Contract Award
$938,000May 15, 2026The board authorized pursuing a 5-year line of credit up to $800,000, covering both a $300,000 tax anticipation need and a $469,000 paving loan, as long as the rate is under 5.5%. Adams Community Bank had quoted 4.25% on the tax note and suggested using a financial consulting firm to bid the paving loan for a minimum $2,500 fee, while Beacon Bank plans to offer the line of credit. The main borrowing decision is essentially made, but a financial advisory firm or banking partner could still support future debt structuring and capital planning.
Contract Award
$800,000Jun 18, 2026The Town of Arlington, VT has completed bidding and awarded the Recreation Park Pedestrian Access project (Arlington STP BP17(2)) to Waters Excavation Inc. A May 15, 2026 bid analysis by Dufresne Group Consulting Engineers recommended award to Waters based on a low bid of 400,145, which was about 13 percent below the engineer’s estimate of 460,000, and a Notice of Award and construction contract were executed June 1, 2026. The project covers construction of sidewalk, curb, and a crosswalk with a solar-powered rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) along Route 7A to create a safe pedestrian route between Arlington Village and the existing Recreation Park access path, with completion required by November 15, 2026. This is a decided award, but it signals an active capital streetscape and pedestrian-safety initiative that may drive follow-on needs such as additional pathway segments, traffic control devices, materials supply, construction support, and inspection or compliance services. Vendors can also position for future maintenance, expansion of RRFB installations, or upcoming similar VTrans-spec projects leveraging the bid and specification details.
Contract Award
$400,145Jun 1, 2026The Selectboard reviewed four bids for the town’s 2026 paving work, ranging from about $281,789 to $337,946. No contractor was chosen and the board asked staff to scan and circulate bids for closer comparison, tabling the decision to the next meeting. Paving and construction firms still have an active decision window to influence scope, schedule, and any clarifications before award.
Active Opportunity
$337,946Jul 15, 2026The Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie No. 1861 requested and received a proposed license agreement to use three spaces in the municipal North Street parking lot for fenced outdoor seating with alcohol service under an Outside Consumption Permit. The Planning Director recommends approval, and the agreement ties the use to the town’s sidewalk café policy, including fees, insurance, and operational standards. This illustrates Bennington’s willingness to license municipal space for private use, creating a template for other downtown businesses and potential consulting around public space activation, licensing frameworks, and parklet design.
Pre-RFP
$300Jul 13, 2026SVSU has formalized a centralized workflow for all technology purchases, requiring helpdesk tickets, cost analysis, and routing through the Technology Administrative Assistant. The process covers hardware, software, licenses, and subscriptions, with specific account structures and thresholds including a $10,000 cost-analysis trigger and a $40,000 bid threshold. This signals ongoing, structured buying for devices, classroom tech, and edtech licenses where vendors need to plug into the defined request and approval path and offer pricing and support that fit SVSU’s grant and procurement rules.
Pre-RFP
$40,000Jul 1, 2026The Selectboard reviewed four bids for town paving but tabled the decision to the next meeting to compare details. Bids range from $281,788.97 to $337,946.25, with one bidder unable to meet the time deadline. No contractor has been selected yet. Asphalt and construction firms still have a live opportunity as the board is actively evaluating proposals and scheduling a follow-up award decision.
Active Opportunity
$337,946Jul 1, 2026The Readsboro Selectboard approved financing for a new Mack vehicle, authorizing a four‑year loan through Kansas State Bank with annual payments of 63097.43. This indicates the Town has committed to acquiring a significant piece of fleet equipment for the Department of Public Works, likely a plow or heavy truck. While the financing partner is selected, the minutes do not detail the specific Mack model, upfitting, or maintenance arrangements, suggesting there may still be ancillary purchase and service needs. Vendors of fleet upfitting, snow and ice equipment, telematics, safety systems, extended warranties, and maintenance services can position add‑on solutions around this new asset over the next four years.
