Eastchester board approves Perma workers’ compensation renewal and several operational contracts
Summary
On June 11 the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners approved a two‑year workers’ compensation renewal with carrier Perma (treasurer said premium came in about 15% lower), and authorized contracts including ImageTrend software integration ($2,750/year), a $10,119.60 ice‑machine purchase and a $60/month Amory Disposal biohazard contract; generator maintenance authorization was also recorded.
The Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners on June 11 approved a package of operational renewals and purchases, including a workers’ compensation renewal with the department’s long‑time carrier, Perma, and several vendor agreements.
The treasurer told the board that Perma offered a competitive quote, about 15% lower than the prior year, and presented a one‑year premium after a prompt‑payment discount of $193,396. The board read a two‑year renewal resolution with an estimated two‑year cost range of $377,497 to $396,968 (the final two‑year amount depends on the district’s loss ratio), and moved the item for the record.
Separately, the board approved an agreement with ImageTrend to integrate Alpine and ImageTrend patient‑care software for an annual fee of $2,750 so that deployment rosters and call data populate electronically; the chief said the integration would reduce manual data entry across more than 2,000 EMS calls a year. The board also authorized purchase of two Manitowoc ice makers, two ice bins and two Arctic Pure water‑filter units for a combined cost of $10,119.60, using New York State contract pricing.
The board voted to terminate the district’s Stericycle biohazard contract and authorize a 12‑month agreement with Amory Disposal at $60 per month for twice‑year pickup and OSHA portal access. The board also approved a preventive maintenance agreement for the district generators with the vendor listed in the agenda (transcript records the vendor name with spelling variation; the board approved the authorization as presented).
Each contract and procurement was put to a motion and recorded as approved at the June 11 meeting. The board approved payment of warrants and the bills presented on the agenda as part of its finance actions.
What happens next: staff will sign the approved agreements and complete required vendor onboarding. The treasurer noted the workers’ compensation renewal is effective July 1 and that the board could consider a two‑year term or alternate one‑year renewal depending on loss‑ratio outcomes.
