Public Works Committee Continuation - November 4, 2026

The Allegany County, New York, Public Works Committee continuation meeting on November 4, 2026, considered several purchases and capital-project contracts. The committee approved purchasing a used 2021 Kobelco SK85 CS mini excavator from low bidder Milton CAT for $57,000, and approved a four-year asset-management software agreement with CivicPlus covering facilities, fleet, roads, signs, stormwater, and related modules. The CivicPlus amount is garbled in the transcript (rendered as “167,4795”), so the exact not-to-exceed figure is unclear. The committee also approved awarding the County Road 49 bridge replacement over Canaseraga Creek in Rushford to Union Concrete and Construction Corp., the lowest responsible bidder, for $2,763,953.70, with funding from the capital fund. It approved an award to Greystone Construction Company for the DPW truck-storage building; the amount was not stated, the contract was described as within budget, and the award is contingent on county attorney approval and the company obtaining New York State business certification. Members were also informed that a Buildings and Grounds truck purchase from Mohawk Chevrolet for $44,952.56 had already been completed through a mini-bid process.

The committee approved purchasing property from Wagner Hardwoods LLC at 6052 County Road 20 in Friendship, adjacent to the new DPW site, to improve access control and allow for future operations. The resolution included a $93,200 transfer from contingency to the land-acquisition account. The committee received updates that the County Route 4 bridge work and Crawford Creek bridge work were progressing, third-floor renovations were complete, and the new DPW shop remained on schedule despite a delay in obtaining three-phase utility service. Members discussed a possible future RFP for disposition of a county-owned building, but no RFP action or vote was taken; recommendations from the Solid Waste Advisory Board are expected later. No other procurement decisions were identified.
