Public Works Committee Meeting - June 3, 2026

The Allegany County New York Public Works Committee met on June 3, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement actions included awarding a $19,800 contract to Salas O'Brien Consulting and Engineering for commissioning services at the new Department of Public Works (DPW) facility, pending county attorney approval. The committee also approved proposed increases to landfill tipping fees, raising the commercial haulers and construction and demolition waste fee from $60 to $90 per ton, effective July 1, 2026, to offset rising disposal costs. Additionally, a three-year, $44,394.23 contract was approved with Star Tech for scheduled maintenance of backup generators at county facilities. Budget transfers were authorized to cover diesel fuel costs for jail generators following equipment failure. Updates on ongoing DPW shop construction and related change orders were provided, noting a current $54,000 increase over base bid pricing but still within contingency funds. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss property acquisitions.
