Pre-RFPCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 26, 2026

On June 26, 2026, the Gorham Town Board authorized a July 15 public hearing on a large package of proposed improvements to the Gorham Water District #1 distribution system. The Town Engineer’s map and plan call for replacing multiple segments of aging cast iron and asbestos cement transmission mains with approximately 12,850 feet of 12-inch main on State Route 364, upsizing and looping mains along County Road 1, Lake-to-Lake Road, and Middle Road, replacing the existing County Road 1 storage tank with two new 500,000-gallon tanks plus auxiliary buildings/equipment, and adding two new pressure-reducing valve stations. The total estimated project cost is 11900000, to be borne by District #1 customers, with the Town planning to apply for NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation WIIA grant funding and finance the balance via the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.At this stage no design-build contractor, construction firm, tank manufacturer, or controls/equipment vendors have been selected; the project is moving from planning into community review and funding strategy. This creates a near-term window for engineering, construction, tank, valve, SCADA/controls, and grant/financing support vendors to influence scope, phasing, and cost optimization ahead of detailed design and formal procurement.

Funding strategy is to combine a NYSEFC WIIA grant with Drinking Water State Revolving Fund financing, repaid by Gorham Water District #1 property owners. MRB Group is acting as Town Engineer and has already prepared the map and plan for the improvements.

Budget Planning

The line item is Capital Outlay. The 2026-2027 proposed budget shows $1,297,719, up from $332,605 under 2025-2026 Actual. In a school district budget, this line typically covers facilities, equipment, and other capital assets, but the notice does not name specific projects or vendors. The budget hearing was scheduled for September 14, 2026, so sellers would need to confirm which campus or asset purchases sit behind this proposed capital amount.

Public Updates

Counterpublic also asked to temporarily uncover the original Stowe sign at Turner Middle School, believed to be carved into stone over the doorway. It said the sign would be replaced or restored as requested by the board after the exhibition. That creates a defined follow-on restoration need once the temporary display ends.
