Thalle Construction Co Inc. is looking for subcontractors to price work on the Southtowns Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility (AWTF) Phase 2 Expansion, and the prime needs quotes back by November 19.

The job site is the Southtowns Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility at S-3690 Lake Shore Road in Buffalo. The posting carries solicitation number CR#2140357 — a New York State Contract Reporter number, not a City Record listing. The facts don't break out which trades are being sought, so if you do mechanical, electrical, concrete, or site work tied to treatment plants, this is worth a call to Thalle directly to find out what packages are still open.

The Southtowns expansion is a big one. Erie County has said the multi-phase project is estimated to approach $200 million overall, and the facility has gone through a Project Labor Agreement that means each phase gets bid as its own single prime contract. That tells you Thalle holds the prime contract for Phase 2 specifically — not the whole expansion — so your scope of work sits inside this one phase.

Here's something worth knowing before you spend hours pricing this: Phase 2 construction has been on hold pending a new discharge permit from the state's environmental conservation agency. If you're already talking to Thalle, it's fair to ask where that permit stands before you lock in numbers, since that's the kind of thing that can shift a schedule.

If you want a shot at this work, get your quote to Thalle Construction Co Inc. before November 19. Ask them directly what trade packages are open and where the permit situation stands — both are reasonable questions for a sub to ask before bidding a piece of a $200 million-range job.
