OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER BID
SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT THE TOWN REQUESTED BIDS FOR A 2005 OR NEWER TAYLOR T1000 OR SIMILAR OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER. HE SAID THAT THE DAY THE BID WAS PUBLISHED A DEC OFFICER CALLED GREG BROWN ADVISING HIM THAT THE ITEM WE REFERENCED WAS ILLEGAL. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT 2 BIDS WERE RECEIVED FROM GIBSON HARDWARE. THE FIRST BID WAS FOR THE USED TAYLOR T1000 PLUS INSTALLATION AT $6571. THE DEC HAS A LIST OF CERTIFIED OUTDOOR WOOD BOILERS MODELS. THEY CHANGED THE RULES IF YOU HAVE AN OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER AND YOU INSTALL IT AFTER 2011 IT MUST BE AN APPROVED BOILER. SO THE TAYLOR T1000 IS NOT ON THE LIST – IT CAN’T BE CONSIDERED. THE OTHER BID $17,866 WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND INSTALLATION FOR AN EMPIRE PRO 400 AND IT IS NOT ON THE DEC LIST EITHER.
RESOLUTION NO. 14224
ON MOTION OF SUPERVISOR HAFF, 2ND BY COUNCILWOMAN BEECHER, THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED 4 AYES, 0 NAYS, 1 ABSENT (DEYOE). VOTING AYE, SUPERVISOR HAFF, COUNCILWOMAN BEECHER, COUNCILWOMAN FOOTE AND COUNCILMAN DILLON.
RESOLVED TO REJECT ALL BIDS RECEIVED FOR A 2005 OR NEWER TAYLOR T1000 OR SIMILAR OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER.
SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT WASHINGTON COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT SAID IT WAS FINE BUT DEC SAID NO IT IS NOT OKAY TO INSTALL. HE SAID HE OBTAINED THE RULES FOR OUTDOOR WOOD BOILERS AS FOLLOWS: IF YOU PURCHASE A CERTIFIED USED BOILER THE COMMENCEMENT DATE IS BASED ON WHEN IT IS PLUMBED AND THEN PUT INTO USE. HE SAID THAT RESIDENTIAL/ COMMERCIAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A “HOME” BEING A RESIDENCE OR A BUSINESS BEING COMMERCIAL. THE DIFFERENCES ARE STRICTLY ON THE SIZE OF THE BOILER. A BOILER THAT PUTS OUT OVER 1 HOUR PERIOD 250,000 BTW’S OR LESS IS CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL. A BOILER THAT PUTS OUT MORE THAN 250,000 BTW’S IS COMMERCIAL. ALSO, IF YOU HAVE A RESIDENTIAL SIZE BOILER YOU NEED TO HAVE A 100’ SETBACK FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. AND A COMMERCIAL BOILER REQUIRES 200’ SETBACK. THE TOWN PROPERTY WOULD NOT ACCOMMODATE THE COMMERCIAL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS AND THE ONLY AVAILABLE SPOT ON THE PROPERTY IS OVERTOP OF THE SEPTIC TANK. HE SAID SO IT IS “CRAZY” FOR THE TOWN TO CONSIDER AN OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER.
ODDLY ENOUGH THE DEC DOES NOT HAVE ANY REQUIREMENTS ON AN INDOOR WOOD BOILER. YOU CANNOT MOVE A SPECIFIC OUTDOOR WOOD BOILER INDOORS TO AVOID ANY REQUIREMENTS. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT GREG HAS FOUND A THERMO-CONTROL BOILER MADE IN COBLESKILL NY. THIS IS AN INDOOR WOOD BOILER 300,000 BTW WITH 300 GALLONS OF JACKET WATER FOR $7480.00. HE DISCUSSED THAT THE TOWN IS NOT REQUIRED TO PUT THIS OUT TO BID BECAUSE PER THE PROCUREMENT POLICY GREG NEEDS TO OBTAIN 3 DIFFERENT PRICES FOR PURCHASES BETWEEN $5000- $20,000. HE SAID WE HAVE A LOCATION AVAILABLE TO PUT THE BOILER ON THE OLD DOG KENNEL AT THE END OF THE BUILDING. IT HAS A THICK CONCRETE SLAB AND 3 WALLS – WE WOULD ONLY REQUIRE A FOURTH WALL AND ROOF TO BE BUILT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THIS IS DOUBLE THE ANTICIPATED COST AT ABOUT $12,000 – $13,000. HE DISCUSSED AVAILABLE FUNDS STILL AVAILABLE IN THE BUDGET.
MEGA VS. MEP
SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT HE IS CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE MEGA VS. MEP ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS. MEP IS GOING TO PUT OUT A RFB TO THE ELECTRICAL PROVIDER SAYING THAT THEY REPRESENT 140 TOWNS THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE ASKING FOR A DISCOUNT – THEY EXPECT TO HAVE THE QUOTES BACK BY DECEMBER 18, 2014 WITH WHAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE. HE HOPES THAT BY THE JANUARY MEETING HE WILL HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION. HE IS GIVING UP ON MEGA SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN SO HARD TO CONTACT.
DECEMBER 16, 2014 REGULAR MEETING PG. 4 OF 5

SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE JANUARY 13, 2015 MEETING. HE SAID THAT ALL POSITIONS ARE PUBLICLY POSTED SOLICITING INTEREST.

SHE SAID THAT THEY NEED TO PURCHASE TOP SOIL FOR THE HILL PROJECT. THEY RECEIVED 3 QUOTES RANGING FROM $13 – $19 PER YARD – BUT IT NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP IN THE SPRING. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT UNDER THE GENERAL BUDGET THE TOWN HAS $5000 IN A7320.2 JOINT YOUTH EQUIPMENT AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT WHICH WAS BUDGETED FOR THE HILL PROJECT. NONE OF THE MONEY HAS BEEN USED FOR 2014 – BUT COULD BE USED TO BUY THE DIRT.

HE SAID THAT HE CANNOT FIND ANY USED PLOWS TO PURCHASE. HE OBTAINED 3 QUOTES FOR NEW SNOWPLOWS. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT RIGHT NOW THE TOWN IS BORROWING A POOR CONDITION SNOWPLOW FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY DPW AND REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH THE TOWN RECEIVES FROM THE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT THE PLOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. GREG RECEIVED QUOTES RANGING FROM $8075.50 FROM ZWACK TO $9250.00 FROM A COMPANY IN SARATOGA.
