Lynbrook board approves recycling and bulky-debris contracts, new parking meters and application for $675,000 rink grant
Summary
The Lynbrook Board awarded a three-year recycling contract to the sole bidder (AMI Recycling), approved a low bid for bulky debris collection, authorized replacement of parking meters for $57,044.50, and approved applying for a $675,000 New York State CFA grant to cover a rink canopy shortfall.
At its July 13 meeting the Lynbrook Village Board approved several procurement items and authorized a state grant application to cover a shortfall on a rink canopy project.
Procurement: The board awarded the single-stream recycling contract to AMI Recycling, the only bidder, at $116 per ton for single-stream materials. The contract term is three years with three one-year renewals by mutual agreement. Trustees noted the village received only one recycling bid, leaving staff with limited options but recommending award to the single bidder. The board approved the award by voice vote.
Bulky debris: The village received two bids for bulky debris removal; trustees approved the lower bid from Omni as read into the record. (The transcript recording of Omni's numeric bid was garbled in the meeting record; the board approved the contract as presented.)
Parking meters: Staff reported that FlowBird, the manufacturer of the village's pay-by-space system, plans to discontinue the server that supports the current meters. Mr. Healy proposed replacing five meters with solar-powered units that include battery/AC options and accept bills, coins and cards. The estimated purchase price presented to the board was $57,044.50; trustees approved the purchase.
Rink canopy grant: Trustees authorized staff to file a notice of intent and apply for a New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) grant of $675,000 to help close a funding gap for the rink canopy project; the CFA application deadline was noted as July 31. The board approved pursuing the grant application by voice vote.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with contract paperwork for the approved vendors, schedule follow-up for the bulky-debris contractor, initiate procurement steps to order the replacement meters, and submit the CFA grant application before the July 31 deadline.
