Construction services are requested for the West Burke Village Wastewater Project, including 5,600 lf of 2" HDPE sewer force main, 27 property connections, two subsurface drip disposal fields, and pavement restoration.
The Reduce Reuse Pilot Grants are awarded by the Solid Waste Program of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation to meet the goals of the 2023 Vermont Materials Management Plan. According to 10 V.S.A. § 6604(a)(1)(B) “The [Vermont solid management waste] plan shall promote…the greatest feasible reduction in the amount of waste generated.” The overall generation of waste reflects all materials that Vermonters use and discard—whether through disposal in the trash or through alternatives that divert materials from the trash, such as reuse, repair, recycling, and composting. Goals of this grant program: 1. Increase waste reduction through use of durables, reuse and/or repair. 2. Build infrastructure that supports widespread adoption of reuse and/or repair in Vermont. 3. Encourage innovation through testing or expanding new approaches, systems, or technologies that help achieve the first two goals.
This Request for Applications (RFA) will allocate remaining Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust funds to projects that cost-effectively reduce NOx emissions from mobile sources and demonstrate feasibility of all‑electric heavy‑duty vehicles and equipment. DEC seeks proposals for all‑electric replacement or repower projects across eligible mitigation actions (e.g., Class 4–8 local freight trucks, school/shuttle/transit buses, freight switchers, ferries/tugboats, airport ground support equipment, and forklifts). Up to $5,909,575 is available for project work (projects to be completed by June 30, 2028) with rolling contract performance through December 31, 2026, and eligibility and funding limits varying by applicant type (government‑owned up to 85%, privately‑owned up to 75%).
