OSWEGO â Two issues of note were considered by the Common Council at its June 28 meeting. One, a waste water treatment plant, the other the cancellation of a contract with the operator of the cityâs High Dam hydroelectric facility on W. First St. along the Oswego River.
The treatment plant, named the McCaffrey Water Treatment Plant, was the subject of a number of bids received for work to be done.
The largest of these was a $2,875,940 bid from John R. Dudley Construction.
Next was a $1,655,014 bid from Scriba Electric to provide electrical services for the plant.
That was followed by a bid of $169,650 from Crosby Brownlie, Inc. for HVAC services for the plant.

The repairs were scheduled to be done by December.
City Engineer Jeffrey Hinderliter explained the reasons for that extension.
âA large part of the project was replacing the roof and replacing the gutter system that goes around the roof,â Hinderliter said. âThe architect chose to use a reinforced concrete product. So, itâs a pre-cast gutter system thatâs colored to match the color of the building. Those were custom ordered to match the old cornice molding up there. Theyâre beautiful, but obviously, theyâre labor intensive and specialty work. So, the subcontractor that manufactured those for us, due to COVID, was a couple months behind. Those panels were all supposed to arrive in August, but they didnât show up until the end of October. So, they were unable to get them all installed. So, the challenge for the winter. So, we had them complete the First Street side of the building, which is now installed 100% on that side of the building. Itâs really sharp-looking. In the spring, theyâll come back and finish the rest of the building. Itâs unfortunate. Contractors bid other jobs, so nobodyâs happy about the delay. Theyâre hoping to be doing other things in the spring, but theyâre trying to make the best of the situation, as everybody is with all the changes from COVID.â
