Summary

The Economic Development Committee recommended awarding the MIP 3 fiber construction project to New River Electric for up to $6,493,914.85 subject to ConnectAll/ESD approval, but the committee asked that Resolution No. 172 be pulled for further review and the chairman granted the request, so no final award vote occurred.

Resolution No. 172 recommended awarding the MIP 3 Fiber Construction Project to New River Electric for an amount not to exceed $6,493,914.85; the recommendation noted that contract execution is contingent on ConnectAll/Empire State Development (ESD) approval and resolution of any pending grant extension.

However, the Economic Development Committee requested the resolution be pulled for further review and Chairman Greg Janisewski granted the request. As a result, no final contract award or vote occurred at this meeting; the matter remains under committee review pending grant conditions and outside approvals.
