Bradley bid for Wallkill siphon tops bids at twenty five billion
President John A. Bensel of the Board of Water Supply noted an extraordinary bid from Bradley Construction for the Wallkill siphon tunnel of the Catskill Aqueduct. The Bradley proposal reached 25 003 730 000 dollars, far above rival offers from S Pearson & Son 3 305 000 and McArthur Brothers 4 502 000 and T A Gillespie 4 685 000. A potential error in bidding on pumping shaft costs was seen as 50 000 dollars per million gallons instead of zero, which would raise Bradley’s total to about 3 780 000, still higher than Pearson’s.
