# November 3,2026 | The Board of Contract & Supply

The City of Albany Board of Contract & Supply met on November 3, 2026. The board authorized advertising for bids for a street planting program and snow management services. Bid openings included a maintenance contract for crack and bushing-related power testing and inspection, with one submission from Metro Group, and a medium- and heavy-duty transmission parts, preventive maintenance, and repair contract, with Stewart & Stevenson Power Products as the sole submitter. The transcript also records rates and parts discounts for these submissions, but portions of the bid descriptions are unclear. A further item labeled “conservation feed and court” had no bid deposit requirement and included hourly and transportation rates; that project description is also unclear.

Contract awards and changes included a pool maintenance opening-and-closing contract awarded to Western & Sampson for $135,000.07; a Fair Stonewater Separation Project change order under contract 9529, with a stated new contract price of $2,820,363; and an $83,534.50 item involving Giano Contracting Corporation under contract 9415. The board also considered one-year extensions, through December 31, 2027, for HVAC and temperature-control inspections (contract 9456), pest control (contract 9457; vendor identified in the transcript as a Terminix-related company, with a stated contract amount of $21,430.95), and electrical work for city-owned buildings (Empire Electric New York LLC; $38,367.50). The transcript does not clearly capture votes on these contract resolutions; a motion to accept the agenda was seconded and followed by an apparent unanimous voice vote, and the meeting then adjourned.
