Council pre-meeting lists multiple consent items, including $864,203 Volker Inc. contract for Brooklyn By The Bay access road
Summary
Clerk read a lengthy consent calendar that included an $864,203 contract authorization with Volker Inc. for the Brooklyn By The Bay multimodal access road and other purchase orders for park turf, drainage, vehicles and equipment.
The Jan. 27 pre-meeting included a lengthy consent calendar and several contract and purchase-order announcements across departments.
Clerk Lisa Carroll announced an authorized contract with Volker Inc. for the Brooklyn By The Bay multimodal access road project in the amount of $864,203. The clerk also listed other introduced/approved items: a $1,100,000 purchase order to Shaw Integrated Turf Solutions for artificial turf at Herndon Sage Park; a $275,668.75 contract with Hartwell and Company LLC for Brookdale Drive rehabilitation; and multiple storm drainage and debris-removal purchase orders ranging from roughly $16,000 to $21,000. Several vehicle and equipment purchases were also listed, including Ford crew cab pickups and a Ford SUV special service vehicle.
A council member asked to be added as a sponsor to one CIP item. There was a short discussion about customary waiver thresholds used to move groups of consent items forward (example: a $50,000 internal threshold appeared in the discussion), but in the pre-meeting transcript there is no separate recorded roll-call vote for each item; the clerk introduced and summarized the items for later action as part of the council's consent process.
The record in this excerpt does not include detailed contract scopes beyond the project names and dollar amounts; council members asked staff to confirm DBE and procurement paperwork where eligibility questions arose during the meeting.
