From the meeting
The board and staff said all bids for the Caldwell Library project were being rejected because prices were well above the budget and the project will likely exceed $500,000. The town must go back out to bid with separate prime contracts for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work under New York State Wicks Law. Construction timing was said to be undetermined.
This resets the procurement and creates a new bid opportunity for multiple trades.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
