Town awards Glendale Park backstop and carousel repairs; authorizes bidding exception for specialized carousel work
Summary
The board awarded replacement of a backstop and dugout fencing at Glendale Park to Southern Tier Fence Company ($14,500) and awarded West Endicott carousel repair work to WRF of Plainville with an estimated cost of $16,800–$24,300, authorizing a deviation from normal bidding due to the vendor’s unique specialization. The board also awarded chlorine tablets and accepted pool‑supply bids.
The Town Board approved several Parks & Recreation projects and procurement actions on April 1.
Councilman David Kudgus moved and Councilman Joseph P. Nirchi Sr. seconded resolutions awarding chlorine tablets for the 2026 pool season to Surpass Chemical Company, Inc. at $183.66 per 60‑lb container and accepting quotes for park fencing work. The board accepted quotes for replacing the backstop and adding fencing to the dugouts at Glendale Park and awarded the work to Southern Tier Fence Company for $14,500.
The board also approved awarding West Endicott carousel repair work to WRF of Plainville, Connecticut. The minutes record an estimated cost range of $16,800 to $24,300 depending on the full extent of repairs once carousel mechanisms and gears are analyzed on site. Meeting minutes note that WRF is the only Northeast specialized professional services company responding to the Town’s request for quotes for historic carousel services and repairs; the board authorized a deviation from the Town’s standard bidding policy on that basis.
All park‑related resolutions were carried by unanimous vote as recorded in the minutes. The board also carried a Parks & Recreation resolution to give an honorary designation to Struble Lower Field at Struble Park as “Champions Field” in recognition of the 2016 Maine‑Endwell Little League World Series Championship.
