Binghamton City Council on July 30 approved resolution R25-47 to enter into an agreement with Keystone for construction administration and inspection services, voting 6-0.

Council member Middleton moved to authorize the agreement; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The services under the contract will continue inspection work the city has been receiving from Keystone, including oversight of current projects requiring construction inspection and administration. A council member noted the city appears to be receiving these services at a lower rate than in earlier contracts.

Why this matters: The contract will allow the city to maintain inspection and construction-administration capacity for municipal projects and avoid work stoppages while staff coordinates ongoing projects and permitting.

Vote and next steps: The clerk recorded the roll-call vote as unanimous among the six attending members; staff will finalize the agreement with Keystone and proceed with inspection tasks under the contract.

Ending: Council approved the agreement so Keystone can continue providing inspection and construction-administration services to the city; staff will carry out the procurement details and onboarding.
