Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize the city of Taunton to contract for the renewal of services relative to the operation and maintenance of its wastewater treatment plant, sewers and pump stations, for a term not to exceed five years. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. [Local approval received]

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the city of Taunton to renew its existing contract for the operation and maintenance of the city's wastewater treatment plant, sewers, and pump stations for up to an additional five years. This is due to unforeseeable delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that have contributed to delays in ongoing construction and installation of legally mandated improvements to the wastewater infrastructure. After the renewal period, any subsequent contract for the lease, operation, or maintenance of the wastewater facilities must be procured through the procedures set forth in the existing Chapter 362 of the Acts of 1996.
