Recent projects and awards in Delaware

Contract awards and project updates from public meetings, largest and newest first.

The district notes ESSER-funded projects with advance payments approved for A3 Communications Inc. and Joseph T. Richardson Inc. to meet an earlier federal liquidation deadline. Invoices have been received and paper checks are being held until deliverables are met, indicating work is in progress or near completion. This confirms these firms as incumbents for security/IT and facilities work, signaling likely follow-on needs for upgrades, integration, and maintenance after ESSER ends.Contract Award · Caesar Rodney School District · Kent County · Jul 21, 2026$1,267,350 The City of Rehoboth Beach is moving forward with PFAS remediation upgrades at its Well 7 and Well 8 water treatment facilities to meet new federal Maximum Contaminant Level requirements that take effect in 2029. After a two‑year analysis effort and design work by Pennoni Associates Inc., the City bid the project and received four responses, with Blooming Glen Contractors Inc. identified as the lowest qualified bidder at 1701534 for the construction scope. In parallel, the City has already ordered four Calgon carbon tanks in FY26 for roughly 1300000 due to long lead times, with delivery expected in December 2026 or January 2027; the overall multi‑year project has 2400000 budgeted in FY27 and is expected to complete in early FY28. This is a decided award but offers strong intelligence for firms providing PFAS media, controls, SCADA, civil/mechanical subs, and construction management, as well as future operations, monitoring, and media replacement. A practical next conversation for vendors is with Public Works leadership about integration services, specialized monitoring equipment, media change‑out contracts, and optimization support that will be needed over the life of the new PFAS treatment system.Contract Award · City of Rehoboth Beach · Sussex County · Jun 18, 2026$3,701,534 Town Hall construction loanContract Admin · Town of Dewey Beach · Sussex County · Aug 7, 2026$3,000,000 Construction of Burrows and Sons Nature Park and Trail, including a raised boardwalk, asphalt walking trails, and a parking facility.Contract Award · Town of Ocean View · Sussex County · Jul 15, 2026$787,480 Sussex County is constructing a new Paramedic Station 101 in Lincoln to replace the current EMS station co-located at the Lincoln Community Center, using a 2.5-acre parcel acquired from the Lincoln City Fire Department. After open bidding in March–April 2026, staff recommend awarding the building construction contract to The Whayland Company based on a base bid of $2,208,000, as they were the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The project is based on a standardized EMS station prototype refined from the Seaford and Millsboro stations, but adapted to site constraints. For vendors, the award confirms Whayland as the prime builder for this EMS facility, creating near-term subcontracting opportunities in trades such as electrical, mechanical, communications, security, and sitework. It also signals the County’s continuing programmatic approach to EMS station construction, which may lead to additional similar projects in future capital plans.Contract Award · Sussex County · Sussex County · May 12, 2026$2,208,000 Sussex County Council approved a professional services agreement with Timmons Group and three software license agreements with Trimble, Avolve, and Timmons Group for an enterprise solution covering asset management, workflow, and land management. The aggregate contract amount is $1,144,231.25, based on recommendations from the Engineering and Finance departments following an initiative to modernize these functions. This award identifies Timmons Group as the primary professional services partner and Trimble and Avolve as core software vendors for the County’s enterprise platform. The main procurement is complete, but there will likely be multi-year implementation, data migration, integration with existing systems, user training, and future enhancement work, offering opportunities for firms specializing in GIS, permitting systems integration, change management, and long-term application support around the chosen platforms.Contract Award · Sussex County · Sussex County · May 12, 2026$1,144,231 234 more Delaware projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
