OpportunityCAPTRUST reported that three defined contribution investment options are under review, with JPMorgan Equity Income and Victory Sycamore Established Value likely to have alternatives presented at the next meeting. These funds together represent under 5% of plan assets in a $2.2 billion program, and decisions could lead to manager or product changes. This is a signal for asset managers and retirement product providers to position large cap and mid cap value strategies that meet the System’s performance, risk, and fee criteria.University of MSBT|Audit Committee · May 7, 2026$2,200,000,000OpportunityMaine DEP has told Wiscasset it cannot receive Clean Water SRF funds to keep its wastewater plant at Cow Island, so the town must relocate the WWTF out of the floodplain. A $60.5M relocation (central pump station, force main, new site and plant) appears on the draft FFY 2026 CWSRF list with up to a $10M low-interest loan offer and no principal forgiveness. Engineering, funding, and program-management vendors can help refine scope, pursue financing, and prepare for future design-build procurement.Town of Wiscasset · Jun 16, 2026$60,500,000OpportunityAugusta School Department has a $53.7 million concept budget for the Farrington Elementary addition and renovation, covering 80,750 sq ft of new and renovated space. The plan includes $42.8 million in construction plus site work, playgrounds, utilities, energy systems, commissioning, and contingencies, funded largely via a state-supported bond. Design development, bidding, and construction run from 2027 through 2030. Capital contractors, MEP firms, and related vendors can engage now as scope, phasing, and bid packages are refined for this long-term school modernization.Augusta Public Schools · May 7, 2026$53,671,590OpportunityThe Authority reported that the Lewiston landfill license amendment is approved and a draft use agreement is being developed with the City of Lewiston as they work through PFAS-driven biosolids changes. They have applied for a second round of Emerging Contaminant grant funds and expect a decision by late May or early June, and multiple engineering consultants are evaluating dryer, thermal hydrolysis, CHP, and disposal options. Environmental and engineering vendors should track this as the PFAS strategy, grant outcome, and dryer/CHP recommendations could drive design, equipment, and long-term services procurements over the next cycle.Lewiston-Auburn Water Pollution Control Authority · May 8, 2026$50,000,000186 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →

Recent projects and awards in Maine

Cumberland is moving forward with a major upgrade of its public safety radio system using Radio Communications Management (RCM). The contract covers purchase of all radio equipment plus build, testing, and installation across four tower sites, with integrated microwave, DC power, and console connectivity. The system cost is about $1.02 million plus multi‑year warranty, with implementation tied to a detailed staging, installation, and acceptance plan. This gives vendors intelligence on system design, incumbent technology, and likely follow‑on needs such as subscriber radios, console work, coverage enhancements, and long‑term maintenance.Contract Award · Town of Cumberland · Cumberland County · Jun 29, 2026$1,023,745The board approved a $10,000,000 conventional loan from TD Bank secured by 100 State Street, leases, HAP contract, and furniture/fixtures. Authorized officers can execute all loan and hedging documents, including ISDA agreements and rate swaps. This financing positions the corporation to fund major capital, refinance, or redevelopment activity at 100 State Street; construction, design, rehab, and financial advisory vendors should probe how these funds will be used and what capital projects are planned next. Contract Award · Portland Housing Authority · Cumberland County · Jun 25, 2026$10,000,000The board renewed or awarded several 2026-27 insurance coverages: NJSIG for property/liability/computer/auto/worker's comp/E&O at $2,027,618; Federal Insurance Company for workers' comp supplemental indemnity at $25,810; United States Fire Insurance for catastrophic student accident at $4,778; Berkley Life & Health for basic student accident at $39,980; and Ohio Casualty for surety bonds at $1,750. These one-year EUS contracts define the district's insurance partners and premiums for the coming year.Contract Award · Winslow Public Schools · Kennebec County · Jun 24, 2026$2,093,936Richmond is awarding a $1,429,200 construction contract to Manzer’s Fine Grade & Earthwork for reclamation, paving, and related improvements on Beedle and New Roads. Eight bids were received, with Manzer’s identified as the low bidder; work covers remaining Beedle Road phases plus New Road repairs. This confirms Manzer’s as the roadwork incumbent and Pine Tree Engineering/Sebago Technics as the town engineer, useful for suppliers, subs, and service providers seeking follow-on work or future phases.Contract Award · Town of Richmond · Sagadahoc County · Jun 23, 2026$1,429,200Augusta staff recommend Council approval of a 30‑year municipal TIF district and Credit Enhancement Agreement to support construction of an 8,024 SF Kids Count Child Care facility on North Belfast Avenue. The center will consolidate two existing locations and is financed with bank and SBA 504 loans, but faced extraordinary site and construction costs. The TIF would return about $52,440 in tax increment to the owner over 10 years and dedicate roughly $262,200 over 30 years to city economic development programming. This confirms a funded private childcare construction project and a long-term city revenue stream that can back future consulting and program work.Contract Award · City of Augusta · Kennebec County · Jun 22, 2026$2,277,625Bid #23-26 covers the Pearl Street Pump Station and Force Main project, designed by Woodard & Curran to replace aging wastewater infrastructure and satisfy Maine DEP Combined Sewer Overflow Facilities Plan requirements. The project includes a new pump station at 6 Pearl Street, conversion of the existing station to a headworks building, and upgrade to a dual force main. Three bids were received, and staff along with Woodard & Curran recommend awarding the $35,944,990.73 contract to MWH Constructors, the low bidder. Although the core construction contract is decided, this is a large, multi-year capital project that will require specialty subcontractors, equipment suppliers, controls/instrumentation, and potentially construction management or inspection support, making it relevant for firms that can team with MWH or provide follow-on services to the Water Resource Protection Department.Contract Award · South Portland Public Schools · Cumberland County · Jun 16, 2026$35,944,990302 more Maine projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
