AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Orleans to enter into contracts for the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the town's sewer works system, including the design, construction, and installation of modifications and new equipment. The contracts can have a term of up to 20 years, with an option for a 5-year renewal. The town is not exempt from liability for the costs associated with the sewer works system, but the contracts must include performance guarantees and require independent review and approval of plans and specifications by a qualified wastewater engineer. The bill also provides that the Department of Environmental Protection may issue project approval certificates for the design/build contract, and that all construction work must be awarded to contractors who have a project labor agreement with the appropriate labor organizations.
