The Madison County Board of Supervisors authorized a set of contracts and grants covering highway and building work and accepted a state clean energy grant during the meeting.
Lauren Corbin, chair of the Highway, Buildings & Grounds Committee, presented three items: a renewal with the New York State court system for $182,027; an award to Metric Electric LLC for the electrical portion of a public health building first-floor HVAC rebuild for $70,003.60; and an award to Diamond and Thaw Construction for $124,500 to perform the construction portion. The committee moved the resolutions and the board approved them by roll call; the clerk recorded "1,268 votes in favor."
Planning committee chair Evan Schwartz moved authorization to enter an agreement with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to receive a $135,000 Clean Energy Communities award intended to evaluate space and new technologies. Schwartz said the planning committee will use the funds to evaluate options but that details were not yet finalized. That resolution was adopted by roll call.
The actions authorize procurement and contract execution consistent with county procurement policy and direct staff to complete agreements with the named contractors and NYSERDA.
