Carmel approves refuse contract award, cleaning vendor and several maintenance contracts
Summary
The town board approved awarding refuse-collection services for cluster/multifamily properties to Interstate Waste Services (annual cost listed in the record), accepted recommendations for cleaning and lake-management contracts, and reviewed emergency invoices and water-district repair costs presented by the town engineer.
The Town of Carmel board on July 8 reviewed a series of procurement recommendations from the town engineer and approved awards and recommendations for refuse, cleaning and maintenance contracts.
Town Engineer Richard J. Frenzetti presented the recommendation to award the refuse, garbage and recycling collection contract for cluster and multifamily properties to Interstate Waste Services (Danbury, Conn.) as the lowest responsible bidder. The reading of the resolution lists an annual cost of $456,000; the resolution states the award is contingent on submission of required bonds and insurance and authorizes the town supervisor to execute the contract documents.
Frenzetti also reported results of competitive bids and RFPs for park and facility maintenance: he recommended a three-year maintenance contract for Lake Seacor be awarded to Kiko’s Landscaping (lowest by approximately $50) with a life-of-contract amount cited in the presentation; recommended awarding multi-year hydro-raking work to Solitude Lake Management; and recommended cemetery maintenance be awarded to Mike’s Blue Wheels as the lowest proposer. Frenzetti presented cleaning-services bids for town hall, police department and parks, and recommended Cleaning Services of Hudson Valley as the lowest responsible bidder after reference checks.
The engineer reported several emergency invoices and repair costs: strainers for Carmel Sewer District 2 require replacement (the transcript contains a likely transcription error for the invoice amount listed in the reading), and the town expects 50% reimbursement from New York City Department of Environmental Protection for eligible sewer equipment replacement. Frenzetti also listed water-district leak repairs for Water District 14 ($16,098.09) and Water District 8 ($17,343.44) with sufficient funds available for those repairs; he said samples have been collected for District 2 and results are pending.
Why it matters: These contract awards and emergency repairs set the town’s service vendors and allocate operational spending for maintenance and utilities. The sewer-equipment replacement and utility repairs have budget and reimbursement implications that town staff said they will follow up on with DEP and the board.
