Request for Proposal
The Village of New Berlin is soliciting proposals from qualified service providers for snow removal/ice treatment of Village sidewalks and other commonly transited on privately-owned property for the 2026-2027 winter season.
Project description
______________________________________________________________
The Village of New Berlin Department of Public Works (DPW) has the authority and responsibility to perform timely clearance of all Village streets, parking lots and other municipal areas of snow and ice in accordance with local laws and codes. However, the crew does not have the authority to clear common access/thoroughfare areas such as sidewalks located on private property. When the property owner does not clear or coordinate for the clearance of these areas of snow and treat them appropriately to minimize icy build-up in a timely (within 12 hours of accumulation) manner, it presents a safety risk for all residents and guests; this is particularly true for pedestriansstudents traveling to designated pick-up points and awaiting the school bus.
The Village is seeking a singular, indefinite duration/indefinite quantity IID/IQ) hourly contractual agreement with a local provider of such services.
Scope of services
________________________________________________________________
The selected provider will coordinate with the DPW and Village office to schedule, provide (within 12 hours of the start of accumulation) professional snow removal and ice treatment of sidewalks and other non-municipal areas accessible to and commonly transited by the general public. The selected contract shall report all hours of service by site for appropriate billing (to include fees) of the property owner.
Proposal requirements:
Proposals are due to the Village of New Berlin, PO Box 280, 13 Main Street, New Berlin, NY 13411 not later than 10 Nov 2026.
Candidate proposals will be ranked based on overall hourly labor and supply costs associated with snow removal and ice-treatment services and the contractor’s ability (to include staffing and equipment) to safely provide the service to multiple sites as designated by the DPW in accordance with time guidance, as cited above in Village Code and Laws- Potential providers are also asked to submit references of similar work done in the local area.
Questions regarding this Request for Proposal may be directed to Mr. Brian Pinney, Village Clerk/Treasurer at 607-847-6389 or [email protected]

The Village of New Berlin is seeking design/bid proposals for a new bandstand-style structure to be erected in the park area between the athletic courts and the playground portion of Hyde Park (Elm Street and North Main) in the Village. Proposals should be for a semi-open shell of approximately 800 square feet constructed of durable materials on a concrete slab. Accessibility and the ability to integrate audio and lighting will be factored into the design selection process. Job is to be completed during the 2026 construction season. Proposals are due to the Village Office, 13 South Main Street by 4:00PM September 14, 2026.
The Village of New Berlin has been informed of the passing of long-time resident, Village Board Member, and Mayor Carol Riley today, June 19, 2026.
The Village of New Berlin will conduct a public hearing at 6:00 PM on 12 May to gather input regarding its use of Home Rule to pursue the possible sale of a 7.6 acre parcel of unused land to Good Shepherd Communities for potential siting of the future Chase Memorial Nursing Home.
There will be a public hearing for the 2026-27 Village Budget at 6:30 PM on Monday 4/27/26 at the Chobani Community Center.
The Village Board of Trustees will conduct a special meeting at 5:30 on Tuesday April 21 to address the potential expenditure of up to $12K in reimbursable funds for the purchase of a used a street sweeper, the Committee’s recommendation regarding the issuance of a Community Development Loan to a Village applicant, and approximately $2K for materials to repair the wooden bridge across Millbrook Creek.
The Village Board will meet at 7:30 AM on Monday 30 March to act upon 1) the renewal of the current First Responder insurance, and 2) a non-binding resolution necessary for the State legislature to consider granting the Village the authority to enter into a potential sales/transfer contract regarding a 7.6-acre parcel of unused, undeveloped land to Chase Memorial’s parent organization, Good Shepherd Communities.
Design work continues to progress well on the Village of New Berlin’s drinking water infrastructure upgrade project. Our design and project management engineer, Barton & Loguidice, has divided the design work into two portions: 1) Water treatment and storage, and 2) water-main replacement and distribution network upgrades. Monthly public workshops over the last several months held with the Village Board have now brought both phases to the 60-percent design point.
Construction on this project is scheduled to start in mid- 2026 and run through the late summer of 2027. Most of the new distribution/water mains will not be buried directly under the Village street or State Highway (Rt. 8/Main St.) but rather in the Right-of-Way area adjacent to the roadway: Such alignment ;1) minimizes personal inconvenience and closure periods/travel disruption, 2) reduces the likelihood and disruption of future repairs, or 2) avoids other existing above and below ground utilities.
This work area will on occasion exceed the legally-acknowledged Right of Way area and include portions of the strip of a property owner’s land between the interior (house-side) of the sidewalk line and the curb/roadway shoulder. Disruption in the impacted areas will be minimized and any temporary changes to the work area will be fully restored.
In the coming days, residents whose properties may be impacted during construction will be receiving a form in the mail that outlines the granting of a permanent and/or temporary easement. Granting the requested easement will allow the Village and the hired contractors access to this specific area of their property for purposes of construction and subsequent maintenance needs. While the requested area may be disturbed during construction and future maintenance activities, the area will be restored to its pre-existing condition following the completion of the work.
The easement you receive will need to be signed, notarized and returned to the Village of New Berlin Office (13 South Main Street) or mailed to our engineers, Barton & Loguidice, 443 Electronics Parkway, Liverpool, NY 13088.
To facilitate the easement approval process, a public meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 27th from 5:30-7:30 PM at the Chobani Community Center, 75 S Main St, New Berlin, NY 13411. This meeting will serve to answer residents’ questions on their particular easement and provide a free notary for executing easements.
The Village of New Berlin and Barton and Loguidice thank you for your continued cooperation and support as we work to improve the Village’s water system for generations to come. For questions, please contact the Village Office or the Barton & Loguidice project engineer (Lauren Howard) directly at 315-378-8546.
