Queensbury board tables $24,000 LaBerge addendum amid billing and scope concerns
Summary
Boardors raised concerns that a $24,000 addendum to the LaBerge general services agreement was vague and could permit open‑ended charges; members asked staff to review the existing agreement and return with clarified scope and billing controls before any vote.
During the June 25 meeting the Town of Queensbury board reviewed a proposed $24,000 addendum to the existing LaBerge general‑services contract intended to cover non‑project specific engineering inquiries.
Several board members expressed concern that the addendum lacked a clear scope of work, billing controls, and safeguards against unplanned cumulative charges. One member said the town already has a general services agreement in place and asked staff to check how routine calls and minor inquiries were handled under that contract before authorizing additional funds. Another member noted the risk of permitting “open pass” calls that could rack up charges if the policy is not spelled out.
No vote was taken. The board directed staff to review the current general services agreement with LaBerge, produce a proposed scope and billing protocol for the addendum, and return the item at a later meeting. The board tabled the $24,000 addendum pending that follow-up.
