Albany City Board of Contract reads bids, records change orders and extends maintenance contracts
Summary
A Board of Contract session opened to record multiple procurement items: no bids for a plumbing maintenance contract, competing roofing bids, a high-value HVAC bid, several Jurison Construction change orders that raise Lincoln Park project totals, and multiple one-year maintenance contract extensions set to 12/31/2026; staff recommended awarding lowest qualified bidders and authorized the mayor to sign contracts.
The Board of Contract session convened and staff read bids and contract-change items for a range of city maintenance projects. Attendees listed included budget and public-counsel staff and city engineering.
Procurement highlights included an announcement that no bids were received for a plumbing maintenance contract for city-owned buildings. Roofing maintenance bids were read with Midgate Industries at $148,350 and Titan Roofing at $160,250. An HVAC and temperature-control inspection and service bid was read for James D. Warren and Son with a base-bid amount presented as $999,405.
Staff read additional project bids (including a Veil Street boxing-gym project and other facility work) and indicated that the lowest qualified bidders would be recommended for award and the mayor authorized to execute contracts on behalf of the city. Several change orders to Jurison Construction contracts were presented: one change order increased a contract value by $566,897.71 for Lincoln Park Pool work (described as covering field changes and spoils removal) and other change orders updated values for Lincoln Park waterline and bathhouse work, with new contract totals presented in the packet.
Staff also presented multiple one-year contract extensions for routine maintenance services (cooling-tower testing and inspection, window cleaning, locksmith services, carpentry and masonry work) with new completion dates set to Dec. 31, 2026, and listed contract amounts for each service where provided. For awards and extensions, staff repeatedly recommended accepting the lowest qualified bidder and authorizing the mayor to sign.
Next steps: staff recommended formal award and mayoral execution where noted; the transcript records the reading of bids, change orders, and recommended awards but does not include detailed roll-call results or signed contract documents in the record.
