Berkshire Photovoltaic Wins Adams Solar Project Bid
 |
"As long as the paperwork matches up, the lowest bid wins," Town Administrator Jonathan Butler said on Wednesday. "We just have to verify it."
Berkshire Photovoltaic could be awarded the contract as early as Thursday with a bid of $47,425 to install a 7-kilowatt solar project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Only two bids were received before the public opening on Wednesday. Ostrow Electrical Inc. from Worcester bid $50,050.
Butler said there are a limited number of companies that can do the work and the project is not big enough to draw companies from further away. The project is expected to produce 7,966 kilowatts of electricity.
The project is funded by $55,000 in federal stimulus money received last year, as well as a $2,625 Clean Energy Choice grant.
