Flaherty, Water Superintendent has recommended that the bid be awarded to the Surpass Chemical Company Brothers, the second lowest bidder, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby determines that the bid submitted by Van Water & Rogers is unacceptable due to the fact that it was not sealed as required by law, and further due to the fact that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury also feels that it would be inappropriate to waive the non-compliance with the bidding specifications since the secretive nature of the bidding process is an important element, the said process helps to maintain confidence and integrity, and waiving such sealing would establish a poor precedent, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York, hereby awards the bid for soda ash to Surpass Chemical Company Brothers as the second lowest responsible bidder, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that said item be paid for from the appropriate Water Department Account.
