Public Works Committee OKs NYSDOT permit undertaking and prepayment of $77,880 culvert for CR 153
Summary
DPW staff secured committee approval to authorize a NYSDOT highway‑work undertaking and to prepay Fort Miller Company $77,880 for precast culverts for County Route 153 (Salem) to avoid double crane moves and save costs.
Department of Public Works staff told the Washington County Public Works Committee on June 30 that the department needs a formal undertaking for a New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) highway work permit to install signage on state roads and requested the Chairman be authorized to sign the commitment. The committee approved the resolution (motion moved by Mr. Hogan, seconded by Mrs. Fedler, adopted).
DPW staff also asked permission to pre‑pay Fort Miller Company for precast concrete box culverts awarded under bid 2026‑15 for a bridge project on County Route 153 in the town of Salem. The contract price for the culvert was stated as $77,880. Committee members approved pre‑payment (motion moved by Mrs. Fedler, seconded by Mr. Wang, adopted) citing cost savings from avoiding two crane moves and because the project is not yet ready to take possession of the culvert.
The minutes record motions as moved, seconded and adopted but do not provide roll‑call tallies. DPW staff present for the requests were Dean Collins and Tim Zinn; the minutes indicate written handouts accompanied the permit request.
