Pusateri Low Bidder on Wellsville Sewage Treatment Plant Project

Wednesday - July 14: As reported in the post below bids for installation and construction of new digesters at Wellsville's Sewage Treatment closed today. The dead line for bids to be submitted was 11 A.M. this morning at Village Hall.

Three companies submitted bids with Mike Pusateri Excavating of East Liverpool submitting the low bid at $451,862. Second lowest bid submitted was from W.E. Downie Co. of Poland, Ohio, at $478,000, followed by Cattrell Companies of Toronto, Ohio, at $498,800. According to the GGJ web site, engineers for the project, nine companies received bid packages.

Next step in the process will be reviewing the low bid to make sure all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted as compared to the project specifications according to Bill Boyle, V.P. of GGJ. Once the bid is approved it will have to be submitted to the Ohio EPA for a Permit to Install. When that is issued Pusateri will be able to start construction. Boyle estimates that once "on-site" construction actually begins it will be 150 days from start to finish.

The project to install the two new aerobic digesters and all the other items included is being funded by grants from OMEGA and the Ohio Public Works Commission plus a long term, low interest loan from OPWC.
