Patchogue action on Johnson Controls, LED savings and grant-backed projects noted at board meeting
Summary
Board discussion and agenda items on Feb. 24 covered a Johnson Controls change order to add EV chargers, reported energy savings from LED and Johnson Controls work, and grant awards for a ball field and solar array.
Village officials reported multiple capital and energy‑related items at the Feb. 24 meeting: a Johnson Controls change order adding two Level 2 EV chargers, recent grant awards for a ball field and a solar array, and transfer of electric‑fund savings resulting from the Johnson Controls project.
Johnson Controls change order: Meeting records show a change order to add one Level 2 charger at the Department of Public Works and a second Level 2 charger at 380 Bay Avenue for $52,234, revising the Johnson Controls contract to $5,353,076.00. The change order was presented on the record.
Grants and bond rating: A village official reported results of a Standard & Poor’s conference call and said the village has a double‑A bond rating, which the official said should reduce future interest rates. The same report summarized grants: $1,300,000 for the ball field and $1,200,000 for the solar array, and mentioned additional sources contributing about $4,000,000 for the solar array project; the speaker summarized combined project funding as roughly $2.5 million and indicated other sources for the larger solar array amount.
Electricity fund transfer and expected savings: Officials recorded a transfer of $15,000 from the village’s electricity fund tied to anticipated savings from Johnson Controls LED street‑lighting work; the transcript states the village expects roughly $400 per year in savings once installations are complete.
Infrastructure restoration and landscaping: Board members also asked about restoration after the Johnson Controls work; staff said Johnson Controls is contractually responsible for returning landscaping and irrigation lines to pre‑work condition and for repairing any damage discovered during testing.
Ending Staff were directed to execute the approved change order and move forward with installations; follow‑up reporting on installation timelines, grant award status and ongoing savings were indicated as next steps.
