At the Oct. 1 meeting of the Poughkeepsie City Board of Contract and Supply, staff told members that an engineering assessment contract was awarded to MG McLaren Engineering and Land Surveying and that engineering services for a lead water‑line inventory were issued to H2M. Staff also noted a notice to proceed had been issued to Pest Master Services for pest control work.

Purchasing staff (Shirley) confirmed the notices and awards were included in the board packet; no board member requested additional information on those awards at the meeting. Shirley also noted where to find open bids on the city website and through BidNet Direct and the purchasing office.

The board reviewed a set of multi‑award standby contracts for HVAC and plumbing services. Staff said the current contracts include renewal options and that the city could renew the HVAC standby agreements for up to two remaining years (a total three‑year potential contract term when combined with prior renewals). Members said they had not received complaints about the firms on the current list and asked staff to check with departmental users before the board takes action. Purchasing staff said the committee would collect feedback from Department of Public Works personnel and, if appropriate, place an extension authorization on the next meeting agenda.

On janitorial services, staff said they were not fully up to speed and that if the committee required attorney–client deliberation, the board would schedule a separate privileged session. The meeting concluded with a routine motion to adjourn; members voted in favor.

Actions noted in the meeting packet and acknowledged by the board included: an engineering assessment contract awarded to MG McLaren Engineering and Land Surveying; an engineering services assignment for lead water‑line inventory issued to H2M; and a notice to proceed for pest control to Pest Master Services. No contested awards or contract protests were recorded in the transcript.
