Public Works lists change orders for City Hall repairs; DPW crew credited for rescue after asphalt truck accident
Summary
Public Works presented change orders for City Hall annex repairs and front steps and an award pending insurance requirements; staff recognized a DPW street crew for digging through hot asphalt to rescue a vehicle occupant after an August 6 accident involving an asphalt truck.
The Saratoga Springs Department of Public Works presented several construction-related items and recognized a crew for emergency action following a roadway accident.
The public-works agenda included a proposed change order for City Hall annex repairs and a second change order from the same contractor for repairs to the front steps. The department also reported an intent to award a contract to Ehrlich contingent on the contractor satisfying insurance requirements.
Public Works also recognized the city street crew for emergency response on Aug. 6, when a Saratoga County asphalt truck collided with a passenger vehicle and the asphalt truck came to rest on top of the passenger vehicle. According to the department, the DPW street crew dug through hot asphalt to open the vehicle’s windows and assisted in ensuring the occupant was alive. The crew reportedly declined publicity for the incident but were commended by the department.
No final contract awards or votes were recorded in the meeting summary; the Ehrlich award remains contingent on meeting insurance requirements and the change orders were listed for discussion and vote at a subsequent meeting.
