Evanston/Skokie School District 65 is seeking Board approval on June 22, 2026 to renew its participation in the Collective Liability Insurance Cooperative (CLIC) for FY27. The cooperative provides comprehensive coverage including general and auto liability, property, boiler and machinery, pollution, employment practices, school board legal, cyber liability, student accident, and excess property and liability coverage. The proposed FY27 renewal totals 858212, up 21% from the FY26 premium, with 848670 in core property and casualty program costs plus 7392 for additional excess cyber liability/cyber crime limits and 2150 for fiduciary liability coverage. CLIC (with related services like Gallagher Bassett for claims and loss control) is the incumbent provider, so the primary award decision is effectively settled for FY27, but the sizable premium increase and expanded cyber coverage highlight ongoing risk management and cyber-security needs. Vendors in insurance, risk management, and cyber security can position follow-on services such as MFA deployment support, cyber incident readiness, safety programs, and claims/loss control analytics that complement the CLIC program rather than replace it.
Contract Award
$858,212Jun 1, 2026On May 26, 2026, Fire-EMS Chief Dave Hanna asked the Thomaston Select Board to approve using a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method for the planned Fire and EMS building on Thomaston Green. He outlined benefits such as a Guaranteed Maximum Price and staged cost evaluations at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of design completion. The Board voted 5-0 to approve issuing a Construction Manager Request for Qualifications and Proposals, and an AIA B133 agreement with Port City Architecture for architectural services is queued for June 8 approval. This creates an active opportunity for construction management firms to pursue CMAR services on a roughly 7000000 fire/EMS station project. Firms with municipal public safety facility experience can respond to the RFQ/RFP and also offer preconstruction services, cost modeling, and schedule input.
Active Opportunity
$7,000,000Jun 8, 2026For FY 2026‑2027, Rockport’s Town Manager proposed a wastewater enterprise budget of 2,159,535, a 5% increase over the prior year, with 313,800 earmarked for capital projects and 499,702 for debt service and capital maintenance. The capital plan, developed with Woodard & Curran, calls for above‑ground work like replacing pumps at the Mechanic Street pump station, ongoing pump station repair programs, SCADA system maintenance and services, and a leased wastewater truck, plus 75,000 in below‑ground work including sewer line jetting and camera inspections, manhole rehabilitation, and inflow/infiltration investigations focused on the Camden end of the system. The plan is structured as a rolling five‑year CIP with a capital reserve mechanism that levels net annual capital spend at 250,000, implying a predictable, recurring work program rather than a one‑off project. For vendors in wastewater engineering, SCADA/controls, CCTV inspection, manhole and pipe rehabilitation, pump supply and service, and O&M support, this budget signals funded needs and upcoming task orders or procurements managed by the Town and its contract operator, Woodard & Curran.
Budget Planning
$2,159,535Jun 8, 2026The FY 2026-2027 Wastewater Department budget for Camden outlines 2518588 in total expenses funded through user rates, with a usage fee increase to 12.22 per 100 cubic feet. The budget details line items for administration, plant and collection system operations, pump station maintenance, capital reserves, capital improvements, and debt service, and has been approved by the Board of Wastewater Commissioners. Notably, the budget includes 39570 for information technology (SCADA licenses, historian, alarm software, camera software, AutoCAD, a new SCADA server, and Harbor Digital services), 225000 in capital reserves for collection system and upgrade reserves, and ongoing contracts such as Maine Water’s billing services. This represents a planning signal for vendors offering wastewater operations support, SCADA/IT services, GIS updates, engineering, and future collection system and plant upgrades to align proposals with the newly adopted funding levels and reserve goals.

$2,518,588Jun 2, 2026Restoration and preservation of the Curtis Island light tower, seeking funding from the Maine Historic Preservation Commission's historic community building grant program.
Pre-RFP
$500,000Jul 22, 2026The May 19, 2026 materials include a detailed FY27 budget and multi-page financial and transaction analysis for the Camden Snow Bowl covering FY23–FY26 performance, 2027 ticket and pass pricing, and expenses by functional area. The 2026 season saw major revenue growth, a new tubing lift, a new ticketing/rental building funded in part by a 100000 RMRA Foundation contribution, and Town support of 236000, while the FY27 plan anticipates 1.655M in revenue and expenses with adjustments to pricing and operating costs but no new capital line items yet identified. The analysis highlights increased transaction volumes, a growing share of out-of-state visitors, and a shift to group lessons, alongside budget lines for lift repair, snowmaking leases, grooming equipment, rental shop equipment, and facility maintenance that suggest ongoing capital and operational needs. This is an active planning environment where management is trying to sustain profitability, refine pricing, and plan for future infrastructure upgrades identified in the Snow Bowl master plan workshops (e.g., lodge replacement, lifts, adventure amenities) even though specific new capital projects are not yet funded in FY27. Vendors in ski area operations, financial modeling, marketing, snowmaking and lift equipment, and recreational facility upgrades can engage around optimizing the FY27 plan and positioning for the next round of capital improvements once funding is identified.
Budget Planning
$1,655,162May 19, 2026The AIA B133 agreement outlines Thomaston's engagement of Port City Architecture to design a new Fire/EMS station at the northwest corner of Thomaston Green, abutting Route 1. The project envisions a 14500 square foot facility combining a wood-framed office/dorm wing and a pre-engineered apparatus bay, with utilities already available on site. The Owner’s total project budget is 7000000, with a hard construction cost target of 5740000, and Port City is to be paid a stipulated 430500 fee plus reimbursables for basic services through construction administration. With design milestones running from May 24, 2026 through early 2027 and construction planned from March 2027 to March 2028, this is a major public safety facility implementation already in motion. Vendors of specialty systems (apparatus bay equipment, alerting systems, furnishings, low‑carbon HVAC, PV solar, etc.) can track this project for future bid packages and subcontracts as drawings advance and the Construction Manager is selected.
Contract Award
$430,500Jun 8, 2026The Camden Select Board is being asked to authorize submission of a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant application for improvements at the Ragged Mountain Recreation Area and Camden Snow Bowl. The application seeks 550000 in federal funds to construct Phase 1 of the 2023 Outdoor Sports Institute Master Trail Plan—improving hiking and mountain biking trails—and to pave the Snow Bowl parking lot as part of a broader four‑season recreation modernization effort. If approved by the state and federal program, the Town will be obligated to meet LWCF requirements, with Parks and Recreation Director/Snow Bowl GM Jeff Nathan serving as project manager and Audra Caler authorized to sign the project agreement. This is an early-stage, grant-dependent capital project where detailed trail construction, earthwork, paving, and related design/engineering services will be needed, making it relevant for firms that can support trail building, site work, paving, and recreation infrastructure once funding is secured.
Grant Funding
$550,000Jun 2, 2026The Thomaston Select Board agenda for May 26, 2026 includes review of a quote from Farley Inc. to repair the Main Street sidewalk facade, and a separate detailed budget from Farley dated May 14, 2026 describes a $249,488 scope of work to remove, reconstruct, and reinstall granite steps with new concrete sub-steps and safety fencing. This indicates the Town is actively planning a significant repair of Main Street steps and adjacent flatwork, including railing modifications and site restoration, but the agenda language shows the Board has not yet formally approved or awarded the work. For vendors, this is a live capital maintenance project with a defined scope and cost reference that may still be open to alternative proposals or value engineering prior to award. The project involves concrete work, granite handling, metal rail fabrication/welding, and site safety, and may be bundled with broader streetscape or ADA-compliance upgrades in the downtown. Engaging with the Town Manager or Public Works leadership around constructability, phasing, and cost savings could position a firm if the Board seeks comparisons or future related work on Main Street facades.
Pre-RFP
$249,488May 26, 2026Evanston/Skokie School District 65 administration is asking the Board of Education on June 22, 2026 to approve renewal of its participation in the School Employees Loss Fund (SELF) workers’ compensation cooperative for FY27. The proposed premium for the July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 period is $329,016, a 2.2% increase over FY26, with $300,899 allocated to the loss fund and $77,272 to fixed administrative costs. SELF is a pooled workers’ compensation program that provides claims services, risk control, excess insurance, and related support; Gallagher/RPA staff (Samuel Ding, Marcus Henthorn, and Tyler Mackenzie) presented the renewal proposal dated May 5, 2026. For 2026–2027, SELF has completed a TPA RFP at the pool level and is replacing Sedgwick with Comprehensive Risk Services (CRS) as its claims administrator effective July 1, 2026, while retaining Safety National Casualty Corporation for excess coverage. This item signals that workers’ compensation coverage is locked in through FY27, but there may be opportunities around risk control, safety equipment, nurse triage integration, and training that complement SELF’s programs and help the district further reduce losses.
