Board of Managers opens two bids for property adjacent to 16 and 18 First Street in Cohoes

The Cohoes Board of Managers opened two sealed bids on July 10 for a parcel adjacent to 16 and 18 First Street in Cohoes.

At the start of the meeting the board recorded two offers: Scott LaMere of 18 First St. submitted a bid of $500.00; Susan Bryant of 16 First St. submitted a bid listed in the transcript as 5001.00 (recorded here as $5,001.00 to reflect standard currency formatting). The transcript shows the bids were received and recorded but does not indicate any discussion, evaluation, or a decision to accept or reject either offer.

The board’s official agenda identified the item as “Receive and open Bids for property located adjacent to 16 and 18 First Street, Cohoes, NY 12047.” The transcript includes no motion to award the property, no vote tally, and no staff report about next steps. No member is recorded as asking to defer or refer the bids to staff for review.

Because the transcript contains only the opening and the recorded bid amounts, it is not clear from this meeting when or how the board will act on the bids. The board adjourned at 9:35 a.m. with no further action reported on the First Street property.
