RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ENGAGEMENT OF THE DOCK DOCTORS
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PERMANENT PILE DOCK SYSTEM AT
GLEN LAKE BOAT LAUNCH
RESOLUTION NO.: 250, 2009
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Ronald Montesi
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 501.2003, the Queensbury Town Board authorized the
recreation project known as the Glen Lake Canoe/Car Top Boat Access Improvement Project, which
included specific capital improvements including the installation of a dry fire hydrant and dock system,
and
WHEREAS, the Bay Ridge Volunteer Fire Co., Inc., (Fire Company) and the Warren County
Soil and Water Conservation District (County) have informed the Town that there is a need to keep the
dry hydrant suction free of silt and leaves as that part of Glen Lake is quite shallow and it makes it
difficult to keep the intake clear, and
WHEREAS, the Fire Company, County and Town have agreed that a new, more permanent steel
pile dock design would be a better dock for the facility while being a convenient and protected suction
point for the dry hydrant which would be easier to maintain, and
WHEREAS, the Town’s Highway Superintendent has advised that his Department will aid in
excavation for the movement of the dry hydrant suction line, and
WHEREAS, the Town solicited a proposal for construction of such a dock from The Dock
Doctors, and The Dock Doctors have provided a proposal dated July 1, 2009 in the amount of $19,400,
and
WHEREAS, such proposal has been reviewed and approved by the Recreation Commission and
the Town’s Director of Parks and Recreation, and
WHEREAS, The Dock Doctors have a background in such dock design and are specialists in
waterfront dock construction and therefore the Town Board wishes to waive the Town Purchasing
Policy’s two (2) quotes, self-imposed bidding requirement in this instance, and
WHEREAS, the Town will adhere to all New York State Law bidding requirements,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that for the reasons outlined above, in these circumstances the Queensbury Town
Board hereby waives its requirement under the Town of Queensbury’s Purchasing Policy for two (2)
written quotes, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes and directs engagement of
The Dock Doctors for provision of a permanent steel pile dock system at the Glen Lake Canoe/Car Top
st
Boat Access area as set forth in The Dock Doctors’ July 1, 2009 Proposal presented at this meeting, for
an amount not to exceed $19,400, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that such authorization is contingent upon The Dock Doctors providing the
Town with satisfactory proof of insurance prior to commencing work for the Town, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes and directs that payment shall be made from
2
Account No.: 001-7110-2899, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor to sign
The Dock Doctor’s Proposal and/or any other needed documentation and the Town Supervisor,
Recreation Superintendent and/or Town Budget Officer to take such other and further actions as may be
necessary to effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
