SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board previously adopted purchasing procedures which
require that the Town Board must approve any purchase in an amount of $5,000 or greater up to New
York State bidding limits, and
WHEREAS, the Water Superintendent has advised that the Water Department needs to
purchase three (3) pipe plugs with special modifications for the low-lift pumps to enable the
Department to isolate each of the low-lift pumps if necessary, such plugs to be custom-fabricated for
the Department’s specific installation, and
WHEREAS, the Water Superintendent further advises that it will be cost effective for U.W.
Marx to supply the plugs because of Marx’ experience with the Town’s intake building and therefore
has recommended that the Town Board authorize the purchase of the plugs from U.W. Marx for a
total amount not to exceed $5,536,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves and authorizes the Water
Department’s purchase of three (3) pipe plugs with specification modifications for the Water
Department’s low-life pumps from U. W. Marx for a total amount not to exceed $5,536 to be paid for
from the Misc. Equipment Account No.: 40-8320-2001, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor, Water
Superintendent and/or Town Comptroller’s Office to take such other and further action as may be
necessary to effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
