Port authority approves contract rate increase for on‑call plumbing/maintenance contractor
Summary
The board approved an amendment to the on‑call plumbing and generator maintenance contract (listed in meeting materials as UGstead; a transcript variant appears as 'Bugsstead') after staff said Community Behavioral Health facility management supports the contractor.
The Port Authority approved an amendment to its existing maintenance contract to adopt a requested rate increase for the on‑call contractor that serves the Community Behavioral Health (CBH) facility and other Port needs.
Scott moved to amend the existing contract; Jim seconded and the board carried the motion by voice vote. Clara said the CBH facility manager, Ryan Lenu, provided a letter supporting the contractor's work and that the contractor handles both plumbing calls and monthly generator maintenance required under the state contract for the facility.
Staff materials and spoken remarks used two variant spellings for the contractor ("UGstead" and, in one segment, "Bugsstead"). Because the meeting packet identifies the contractor consistently as the on‑call maintenance provider for the CBH facility, the board approved the rate adjustment and staff will implement the contract amendment and continue coordinating with the CBH facility manager.
The motion passed by voice vote; no detailed roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
