The board also recorded a motion to accept a bid for recycling bins from Dynasty Industrial LLC.

Purchasing staff, represented in the transcript by a presenter identified as Joel Stetson and other procurement staff, offered a resolution to \"rescind the previous bid award dated 01/07/2025 and reject all bids received by the Board of Contract & Supply on 12/17/2024 for procurement of citywide commercial cleaning services.\" The board directed the secretary to advertise a new solicitation; the new advertisement notice sets proposals to be received at the board’s regular meeting on Feb. 4, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. for citywide commercial cleaning services. The transcript also records the secretary being authorized to advertise for maintenance, oil change, printing and other services, with multiple bid‑opening dates listed (Feb. 4, 2025 and Feb. 21, 2025) and bid deposit requirements (up to 5% for some solicitations).

The board opened and read aloud numerous bids for public‑works and building projects, including base bids for general construction at 520 Livingston Avenue and for electrical, mechanical and plumbing packages at the same address. Several individual bid amounts were read into the record (examples include base bids listed at or near $12.7 million, $13.0 million and other bids in the $12–13 million range for general construction; electrical base bids read in the six‑figure range, e.g., $1,119,819; and mechanical/plumbing base bids in the hundreds of thousands). The transcript contains many line‑item bid amounts and bidder names; the full certified bid tabulation will be posted to the city’s procurement record.

Procurement staff also reported bids on water and sewer supply groups and park service connection projects with group totals read aloud (examples: wide range pipe couplings at $93,910.01; ductile iron pipe groups at $23,968.00 and $181,551.20; valve boxes, caps and risers at $62,927.00). For smaller equipment, a bid for roll tape copper was read as $2,530.00.

Finally, the transcript records a motion offered by a staff member identified as \"Mister Deoli\" to accept the bid and award a contract for recycling bins and associated containers to Dynasty Industrial LLC; the motion was seconded on the floor. The transcript excerpt ends shortly afterward; the official procurement record should be checked for the posted contract award and executed agreement.

Why it matters: rescinding and reissuing solicitations resets competition for a major city services contract and the bid openings reveal the price landscape for multiple capital and maintenance projects the city plans to contract over the coming months. The board’s actions set firm submission deadlines and bond/deposit requirements that will govern bidder participation.

Where to find more: the city’s purchasing office posts certified bid tabulations, eventual contract awards and related documents on the official procurement portal; the transcript and meeting minutes can be consulted for full details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Albany January 24, 2025 | Boards of Estimate and Apportionment & Contract and Supply","oneSentenceSummary","On Jan. 24 the Albany City Board of Contract & Supply moved to rescind a prior commercial‑cleaning award, authorized advertisement of new solicitations with set deadlines, opened multiple construction and services bids and moved to accept a recycling bins bid from Dynasty Industrial LLC.","taxTitle","Albany City, Albany County, New York","taxId",3731,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6342829,"Albany City board approves multiple budget transfers to cover 2024 invoices",93,97000,190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2253245-08306968626305f8a952103dc0e7ad5e&start=97&end=190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2253245-08306968626305f8a952103dc0e7ad5e/thumbnail_97000.jpg","/articles/6342829/Albany-City/Albany-County/New-York/Albany-City-board-approves-multiple-budget-transfers-to-cover-2024-invoices","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342829-61ec4388328a85c3d0feba4ec05c2b17/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198276&Signature=ECN-TYSbuoqD7jebZEyNSgagwp8Bv~Pq~grKZN~nFww65rxLdSUKqQ~PedSBpp3eYeWmRannhqAILLvZ7P0Y69EH-9AQK301f9CyfX7Gjg-Gv2DPaS4RdwIwhJb3-fey-xZzcceMi64afTGWkFbZNa2-DhsJpR63oLBhSf2BTKOwBYIAOeeRIF8Sl2LbO3wKcm5AipNHKyowKlyYvYjgJ1cR10xs~e7sNNsX~O5d9Q0o0dkTZxUPmAbqQYjx9ysaTRfxEB-N325hrbDMYGUv0--EE9cGA5GSnr64ep4oGof9fJTt~Fuwftpuk690-ir2mOVQSjZ18XiNsjEVfLj2DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Albany City’s Board of Estimate and Contract & Supply approved several budget transfer requests at its Jan. 24, 2025 meeting to cover outstanding 2024 invoices and to reallocate funds for early 2025 needs.

Chief City Auditor Dorsey Piers read the requests during the meeting. The board approved a motion to adopt the transfers; the motion was moved by City Treasurer George Johnson and seconded by Council President Alex. The chair called for the vote and the motion carried.

The requests approved included: a $43,000 transfer from contracted services/special outputs to state unemployment insurance/undistributed employee benefits to cover unemployment insurance payments; a Water Department request described in the transcript as a $307,000 transfer from contracted services/sewer maintenance into multiple sewer and Beaver Creek facility accounts (see clarifying details); a $40,000 move within the public works fleet maintenance accounts to cover motor vehicle expenses; and several Department of General Services (DGS) transfers to cover 2024 invoices and to create flexibility for 2025 coding issues.

Piers said some 2025 transfers are intended to avoid returning voucher packets because purchase orders had been linked to incorrect general ledger accounts. The DGS requests included a $1,000 reallocation from miscellaneous/general services administration to training and conferences; a $5,000 move from supplies and materials/public works parks maintenance to contracted services/park maintenance; and transfers of $60,000 and $40,000 among supplies and materials and contracted services to central maintenance accounts to prevent payment delays.

Why it matters: the transfers resolve year‑end and early fiscal‑year mismatches that, according to staff, were causing payment-processing delays. Several items were described as intended to prevent the need to reject vouchers tied to the wrong GL accounts.

Clarifying details noted during the meeting: the Water Department request was introduced as $307,000 but the line-item amounts read aloud ($150,000; $50,000; $100,000; $35,000) sum differently and the transcript also references a total of $370,000 for that request. The board record should be consulted for the adopted, reconciled amounts.

The board did not record roll-call tallies for individual members in the transcript excerpt; the motion to adopt the transfers was announced as carried after the mover and seconder spoke.","At a Jan. 24 meeting, the Albany City board approved a series of 2024 and 2025 budget transfer requests, shifting funds among unemployment, water, and general services accounts to cover invoices and correct miscoding of purchase orders.","actionData","errors"]
