The Montpelier Village Council awarded the bid for its final combined sewer overflow project on Monday, with bids coming in lower than the estimates. This will be the seventh, and last, CSO, untreated stormwater and sewage overflow in local streams and rivers. The village has been working on these projects for 25 years and since the completion of the sixth project in 2019. The council chose to award the bid to Bryan Excavating for $2.6 million with a 5-0 vote. The village has a $2.7 million grant for the project with a village match of $400,000. The project’s start date will depend on how long it takes to get the materials. Bryan Excavating did the previous two CSO projects for the village.
