Red Hook trustees approve radio leases and generator maintenance contract
Summary
Trustees authorized a six‑unit police radio lease, a five‑year DPW radio lease and a five‑year generator maintenance contract with Electric Ace (recommended over incumbent Allstate Power Systems); board discussed equipment replacement and monitoring.
The Red Hook Board of Trustees approved several routine vendor contracts Feb. 9, including renewal of in‑vehicle radio leases and a multi‑year generator maintenance agreement.
The board authorized the mayor to sign a new six‑unit lease for police vehicle radios with the vendor listed in the packet (transcript references Nikonco/Niconco — vendor name appears in meeting materials). Trustees then authorized a separate five‑year lease to equip seven Department of Public Works vehicles with updated radios; the DPW lease includes equipment replacement and a five‑year term tied to installation of new units.
On backup power, trustees reviewed competing quotes for annual generator maintenance across four village generators. The incumbent, Allstate Power Systems, proposed to hold last year’s price for a single year; a local firm, Electric Ace, offered a lower annual price (quoted in the packet) and included a monitoring system if the village agreed to a five‑year contract. The board discussed the merits of remote monitoring and alarm contacts and voted to authorize a five‑year contract with Electric Ace to provide two maintenance visits per year and monitoring services.
Board members discussed competition among providers, local availability and the village’s long‑term equipment needs. Each contract was approved by motion and voice vote; the clerk will place executed agreements in the village files and forward copies as required by procurement rules.
