Rye Brook awards street‑light maintenance contract to Nix Electric
Summary
Trustees awarded a multi‑year street‑light maintenance contract (Contract 2504) to Nix Electric as the lowest responsive bidder and authorized extension of unit prices for remaining years of the contract subject to satisfactory performance.
The board awarded contract 2504 for street‑light maintenance and associated electrical work to Nix Electric, which the administrator and superintendent of public works identified as the lowest responsive bidder. The base bid as read at the meeting was summarized in staff materials (bid figure presented in the bid summary: $86,006.07) and included alternates A and B; trustees authorized the mayor and administrator to execute documents with Nix Electric and approved extending the contract for the remaining allowable years under the same unit prices and terms, provided performance is satisfactory.
Superintendent Michael (who oversaw the bid) told trustees the contract covers broad electrical services across village buildings and street‑light maintenance; using a multi‑year contract simplifies procurement and prevailing‑wage paperwork for small jobs that otherwise are difficult to price individually. Trustees noted only one qualified bid was received and said the vendor has provided satisfactory service to the village in recent years.
The award passed by roll call with unanimous support from trustees present (Epstein, Heiser, Krom, Mayor Klein yes; Morlino absent). Staff will monitor performance and return if replacement contracting is needed.
