Board of Managers approves engineering services for Cohoes water treatment plant corrective action plan

The Cohoes Board of Managers on April 24 approved an engineering contract for a Corrective Action Plan for the City of Cohoes Water Treatment Plant.

Mayor Keeler moved “to Approve Engineering Services for the City of Cohoes Water Treatment Plant Corrective Action Plan,” and Council Vice President George Soloyna seconded; the minutes record that “the motion passed.” The board did not record individual vote tallies in the meeting minutes.

The consulting firm LaBella was listed as the proposer for Task 0100 — Corrective Action Plan engineering services — with a not-to-exceed fee estimate of $27,000, reimbursable expenses estimated at $500, and a total fee requested of $27,500. The proposal is described in the minutes as a Professional Services fee under hourly time-and-materials terms and identifies Task 0100 as the corrective action plan work.

There was no extended public discussion recorded in the minutes about the scope, schedule, or specific deliverables for the corrective action plan. The minutes do not identify which staff member presented the LaBella proposal to the board; the proposal text appears in the agenda/minutes packet as entered.

With no further business, Comptroller Michael Durocher moved to adjourn the meeting at 9:34 a.m.; Mayor Keeler seconded and the meeting was adjourned.

The board’s signed minutes were completed and attested by City Clerk Roni Miorin.
