Albany Avenue water-main work declared complete; invoices and project closeout discussed
Summary
The board reported the Albany Avenue water-main upgrade is 100% complete; contractors and engineers submitted final invoices (Birdsall $11,208.56; HVEA/Tighe & Bond $32,754.90; Stuyvesant Mechanical $14,419.21) and the project closeout was expected by year-end 2024 pending final EFC grant/loan determinations.
Mayor Dorene Weir (reporting for absent Trustee Browne) told the board that construction for the Albany Avenue water-main upgrade is complete and that engineers and oversight consultants recommended payment of outstanding invoices.
Documents presented included Birdsall's final invoice for $11,208.56, HVEA and Tighe & Bond's invoice #11 for engineering oversight for $32,754.90, and Stuyvesant Mechanical invoice #4674 for plumbing support of $14,419.21. Mayor Weir said minor reseeding and lawn settling had been addressed by the contractor under warranty and that "Close out of this phase of the project will occur by year end 2024." She added that additional invoicing from engineers is expected during Oct.–Dec. 2024 to support project closeout and that planning for Williams Street later in 2025 will depend on grant and loan determinations from the Environmental Facilities Corporation.
The board also discussed short-term financing steps: paying down a $50,000 BAN on Nov. 15, 2024, then issuing a $351,000 BAN to help complete remaining work and closeout tasks. The board indicated letters of support have been sent to political contacts and that an award announcement for the EFC grant/loan was due by year-end 2024.
