Albany City board sets bid dates for snow-management zones, awards maintenance contract and approves pool-chemicals change order
Summary
At its June 16 meeting the Albany City Board of Contract and Supply authorized advertisements for snow-management bids across multiple zones with August 4 and July 21 submission dates, awarded a preventive-maintenance contract to the lowest bidder, and approved a change order allowing chlorine shock substitution for pool chemicals; one roof-contract change was recorded but the transcript did not specify a clear new value.
ALBANY CITY — The Board of Contract and Supply on June 16 authorized solicitations for multiple snow-management contracts, awarded a maintenance contract and approved a pool-chemicals change order, the board’s records show.
Mr. Zoli, a board member, moved to direct the city secretary to advertise for bids for snow-management services for zone A; Mr. Zodia offered a parallel resolution for zone B, with proposals to be received at the board’s regular meeting on Aug. 4, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. The board’s record shows further motions to advertise for additional snow-management zones (noted in the transcript as separate proposals) with the same Aug. 4 deadline; the motions stated that bid deposits are not required.
The board also directed advertisements for pumps and systems preventive-maintenance and repair contracts, with proposals to be received at the July 21, 2026, meeting at 1:30 p.m., again noting that a bid deposit is not required.
A motion was approved to accept and award the contract for equipment preventive maintenance parts and repair to the lowest responsible bidder listed in the record as "Alter Equipment"; the motion also authorized the mayor to sign the contract on the city’s behalf. The transcript records the board’s adoption of the award but does not include a roll-call of individual votes on the award.
Mr. Daily moved to approve change order number one to contract 9516 for pool chemical supplies so the Department of Recreation may purchase chlorine shock as needed and substitute it for acid where appropriate. The board recorded that the change order will not change the contract total, which the transcript lists as $170,261.50.
Mr. Trudeau offered a resolution to make a decrease to change order number one on the 628 Delaware Avenue roof replacement project (contract number 9416). The transcript records that there was no change to contract time but the dollar amount recorded in the transcript is unclear; the record does not provide a clearly specified new contract value.
Procedural business concluded the session: a motion to accept the agenda was moved, seconded and approved with board assent recorded as "all in favor," and a motion to adjourn followed and passed.
The meeting record identifies attendees including Joe Stson (budget department), Dar Shpar (treasurer’s office), Robert McGee (corporate counsel) and Charles William (engineering department). The board scheduled the advertise-and-bid deadlines noted above; specific bidder names, award amounts (except the pool contract total), and detailed vote roll calls were not provided in the transcript.
What’s next: The board’s solicitations set proposal receipt for July 21 and Aug. 4, 2026; further contract documentation and formal signed agreements should appear in subsequent board records or the city’s contracting office.
