The Port Jervis Common Council authorized the director of public works to accept a bid from TAM Enterprises Inc. of Agosa, New York, for the city’s water filtration plant filter rehabilitation project in the amount of $1,957,000.
Council discussion described the scope as including furnishing materials and equipment for gravity sand filters, supply, startup commissioning, performance testing and operator training. The resolution authorizes the mayor or his designee to execute documentation necessary to implement the contract, subject to approval of the corporation counsel and the city consulting engineer.
The council noted a competing bid from Adventist Construction for $2,174,000. A council member asked whether TAM Enterprises was the low bidder and the council proceeded to approve the award; the transcript records the motion carried but does not include a roll‑call tally.
Next steps: the director of public works is authorized to accept and process contract documents; the council required corporation counsel and the consulting engineer to review contract form and content before execution.
