Summary

The Board of Contracts authorized advertising for several maintenance bids and awarded a vehicle-equipment contract to Meridian Hydraulics, approved sidewalk restoration and a rehabilitation project, and authorized the mayor to sign contracts on behalf of the city.

At an Albany City Board of Contracts session, members authorized advertising and awarding several maintenance contracts and accepted the lowest qualified bids for equipment and projects.

A clerk-language speaker presented the sole vehicle‑equipment bid from Meridian Hydraulics and listed bid details including a total bid shown in the materials as $39,119.16 and specified labor and mileage rates (shop $1.95 per hour; normal field $227.50 per hour; emergency shop $235 per hour; emergency field $260 per hour; equipment transport mileage $95). The board also awarded Sidewalk Opening and Restoration Services to Peter Luigi and Brothers Contractor and named James H. Malloy the low bidder for the Frisbee Avenue Rehabilitation project (transcript did not specify Malloy’s bid amount in clear dollars).

A motion to accept the listed contract awards was made and seconded; at least two board members recorded “Aye” and the clerk announced the mayor would be authorized to sign the contracts on the city’s behalf and affix the city seal.

The awards reflect routine municipal procurement steps to maintain city infrastructure and equipment. The meeting then adjourned the Board of Contracts session and moved on to an Industrial and Commercial Incentive Board agenda.

The transcript records the awarding vendors as Meridian Hydraulics; Peter Luigi and Brothers Contractor; and James H. Malloy. The transcript did not provide complete bid documentation for the Frisbee Avenue bid amount (listed language in the record is unclear), so the exact award price for that project is not specified here.
