Agenda lists contract awards and invoice approvals for Nelson Associates, GPI, BPI Mechanical and others
Summary
The city's consent and department agendas listed awards and authorizations including Nelson Associates for a public safety building, GPI (Greenman Peterson) for a pedestrian crossing, BPI Mechanical for HVAC services, payment to Green and Peterson totaling $42,954.14 (with $15,937 in excess of purchase orders), authorization to pay Oscar Schreiber $2,250, and other finance and procurement items; some numerical details in the transcript were unclear or incomplete.
Several procurement and invoice items were listed on the commission's agenda, with department representatives describing awards and payment authorizations.
Accounts reported awards of bid for architectural/engineering services for a public-safety building to Nelson Associates and a design-and-engineering award for a West Avenue pedestrian crossing to GPI (Greenman Peterson, Inc.). Public Works listed authorization for the mayor to sign a contract with BPI Mechanical for HVAC services and requested authorization to pay an invoice of $2,250 to Oscar Schreiber, Esq., related to an on-call pay investigation.
The mayor described authorization to pay Green and Peterson $15,937 in excess of purchase orders for the Downtown Connector project, noting a total payment of $42,954.14 for charges dating between two dates referenced in the transcript (the dates in the transcript are unclear). Accounts also listed special-events planning for Fourth of July festivities and payment authorization to law firms Ora Carrington and Sutcliffe LLP.
Finance items included a participatory-budgeting announcement accepting proposals and several contract-authorizations for the mayor to sign: an addendum with Garnet River; a contract with Carousel Industries for an Avaya CM10 phone upgrade; and a contract with ePlus Technology for Palo Alto services. The finance agenda also listed a resolution supporting the New York Equal Rights Amendment and several budget-transfer items related to payroll, benefits and contingency.
The transcript records these agenda items as discussion-and-vote items but does not record final roll-call votes or outcomes for most of the contracts and payments during the portion of the meeting provided. Where dollar amounts and date ranges are reported in the record, some entries contained unclear or possibly truncated dates and figures; the article notes those items as they appear in the transcript but flags ambiguous entries for clarification by city staff.
