Council approves additional funding request and several water-recovery contracts
Summary
The Plattsburgh council approved authorization for WRRF mitigation capital funds and voted to award and extend several contracts tied to the city’s water resource recovery facility and related infrastructure, while staff said an additional $200,000 will be sought from an internal financing program.
The Plattsburgh Common Council on May 1 authorized capital funding for a water resource recovery facility (WRRF) mitigation project and approved several related procurement items and a contract extension.
The council approved item 7.1 (capital funds H-813642.00018 WRRF mitigation) after a staff update explaining the work includes structural and architectural upgrades and broader facility improvements. Staff said consultants recommended adding $200,000 to the project and that the city will apply to the Internal Facilities Corporation for that additional financing; staff described the city’s hope for favorable financing terms but cautioned the financing outcome is not guaranteed.
Council members also approved awards and authorizations for WRRF-related work on subsequent agenda items: an award for a water pump and associated project (7.101), authorization tied to the Board of Water Resources for a cooling facility/private contract (7.102), and a contract extension for WRRF sludge handling (7.103). Those motions were moved and seconded on the record and passed during roll call.
The council did not provide detailed vendor names or contract amounts for all items during public discussion; those details are available in the meeting packet and official contract documents filed with the city clerk.
