Village to piggy-back Town of North Hempstead paving contract; authorizes $257,483.89 in work

The Mayor advised trustees that John McGowan & Sons was awarded an annual paving contract by the Town of North Hempstead that includes a 'piggy-back' provision allowing other municipalities to purchase the same work on the same terms. Village Attorney Christopher Prior explained that piggy-backing is allowed under New York State law where an appropriate intermunicipal agreement exists; the Village and Town currently have an IMA through July 31, 2027.

The board unanimously resolved to authorize the Village to enter into and perform a contract with John McGowan and Sons, Inc., for paving and striping described in annexed purchase orders for the contract amount of $257,483.89, referencing the TONH Contract and the IMA. Trustees recorded a unanimous vote to proceed under the piggy-back arrangement.
