During the evaluation process, it was determined that there was bidder confusion over the work schedules in the bid specifications, resulting in inconsistent interpretations of the scope of work, staffing requirements, and pricing. Action Requested: Resolved, that the Town Board hereby rejects all bids received for Bid TA-26-05 "Janitorial Services —Town Facilities," in order to revise specifications to provide greater clarity on bid requirements.

These services are being provided by Commercial Building Maintenance (CBM) on a month-to-month basis, with the current rates remaining in effect through August 31, 2026. On April 24, 2026, the Town issued a bid for janitorial services, additional janitorial services, and concierge services for Town Center.Fourteen (14) bids were received and publicly opened. Following a review of the bids, it was determined that there was bidder confusion over the work schedules in the bid specifications,particularly for the ice rink facility. As a result, bidders interpreted the scope of work differently, resulting in significant variations in the estimated square footage, staffing hours, and bid prices. Because the bids are not based on a consistent understanding of the services to be provided, they cannot be fairly or accurately evaluated. Rejecting all bids is in the Town's best interest and will allow staff to revise the work schedules and Cost Proposal Form to clearly define the scope of services before reissuing the solicitation, ensuring a fair and competitive bidding process.

The base project scope consists of pavement resurfacing and related work on various streets throughout the Town,including Eton Rd, Ellsworth Rd, Little Farms Rd, Barnum Rd, Stoneyside Dr, E. Garden Rd, E. Brookside Dr, Rocky Rd, N. Brook Rd, Hickory Grove Dr. E., Lakeside Dr, Plymouth Rd, Winthrop Ave, Poplar Rd, Springdale Rd, and Rockingstone Ave. On June 25, 2026, three (3) bid proposals were received as summarized on the attached bid tabulation. The apparent low bidder is Laura Li Industries LLC at the submitted base bid price of$745,380.00 for the contract scope. Add Alternate No. 1 was included on the bid form for the addition of resurfacing work on Old Hommocks Road. The additional cost for the inclusion of Alternate No. 1 amounts to $27,341.00 above the base bid price. Laura Li Industries has completed the Town's annual road resurfacing contract for the last four consecutive years. Work completed by the contractor has been of satisfactory quality and conducted in a professional manner. No errors or omissions that could potentially impact the viability of their bid price have been identified at this time. Budget for pavement resurfacing was planned as part of the 2026 adopted capital budget (H5104). A budget amendment has been submitted based upon this year's bid result. The Engineering Department recommends authorization of the contract award to Laura Li Industries in the base bid contract amount of $745,380.00. The contract includes a miscellaneous additional work line item of$10,000.00 that can be used at the Town's discretion for contingency work. Insufficient funding exists in the funded capital project H5104. A capital budget amendment of$38,260.00 is required to fund the base bid award. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The proposed legislation would modernize New York's public notice requirements by allowing municipalities, at their option and upon adoption of a local law, to publish certain legal notices on their official municipal websites rather than exclusively in newspapers. The bill does not eliminate public notice requirements. Rather, it provides municipalities with additional tools toimprove public access while maintaining transparency through official municipal websites and physical public postings. The Town of Mamaroneck spent approximately $8,739 on required legal notice publications in 2025, an increase of approximately 26% over the previous two years. At the same time, newspaper readership and circulation have continued to decline, while residents increasingly rely on municipal websites, email notifications, and social media for information about local government. The attached resolution supports legislation that would provide municipalities with greater flexibility to communicate with residents using modern, accessible, and cost-effective methods while preserving transparency and public participation. I respectfully recommend the Town Board adopt the attached resolution. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

For obvious reasons, neither the Assessor, the Board of Assessment Review nor I should be involved with the adjudication of the grievance. I attach a proposed agreement which would shift the responsibility of defending the assessment to the Board of Assessment Review of the Town of Rye. This type of intermunicipal agreement has been entered into in the past when other Town officials have filed grievances with respect to their homes.

These services are being provided by Commercial Building Maintenance (CBM) on a month-to-month basis, with the current rates remaining in effect through August 31, 2026. On April 24, 2026, the Town issued a bid for janitorial services, additional janitorial services, and concierge services for Town Center.Fourteen (14) bids were received and publicly opened. Following a review of the bids, it was determined that there was bidder confusion over the work schedules in the bid specifications,particularly for the ice rink facility. As a result, bidders interpreted the scope of work differently, resulting in significant variations in the estimated square footage, staffing hours, and bid prices. Because the bids are not based on a consistent understanding of the services to be provided, they cannot be fairly or accurately evaluated. Rejecting all bids is in the Town's best interest and will allow staff to revise the work schedules and Cost Proposal Form to clearly define the scope of services before reissuing the solicitation, ensuring a fair and competitive bidding process.

The base project scope consists of pavement resurfacing and related work on various streets throughout the Town,including Eton Rd, Ellsworth Rd, Little Farms Rd, Barnum Rd, Stoneyside Dr, E. Garden Rd, E. Brookside Dr, Rocky Rd, N. Brook Rd, Hickory Grove Dr. E., Lakeside Dr, Plymouth Rd, Winthrop Ave, Poplar Rd, Springdale Rd, and Rockingstone Ave. On June 25, 2026, three (3) bid proposals were received as summarized on the attached bid tabulation. The apparent low bidder is Laura Li Industries LLC at the submitted base bid price of$745,380.00 for the contract scope. Add Alternate No. 1 was included on the bid form for the addition of resurfacing work on Old Hommocks Road. The additional cost for the inclusion of Alternate No. 1 amounts to $27,341.00 above the base bid price. Laura Li Industries has completed the Town's annual road resurfacing contract for the last four consecutive years. Work completed by the contractor has been of satisfactory quality and conducted in a professional manner. No errors or omissions that could potentially impact the viability of their bid price have been identified at this time. Budget for pavement resurfacing was planned as part of the 2026 adopted capital budget (H5104). A budget amendment has been submitted based upon this year's bid result. The Engineering Department recommends authorization of the contract award to Laura Li Industries in the base bid contract amount of $745,380.00. The contract includes a miscellaneous additional work line item of$10,000.00 that can be used at the Town's discretion for contingency work. Insufficient funding exists in the funded capital project H5104. A capital budget amendment of$38,260.00 is required to fund the base bid award. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The proposed legislation would modernize New York's public notice requirements by allowing municipalities, at their option and upon adoption of a local law, to publish certain legal notices on their official municipal websites rather than exclusively in newspapers. The bill does not eliminate public notice requirements. Rather, it provides municipalities with additional tools toimprove public access while maintaining transparency through official municipal websites and physical public postings. The Town of Mamaroneck spent approximately $8,739 on required legal notice publications in 2025, an increase of approximately 26% over the previous two years. At the same time, newspaper readership and circulation have continued to decline, while residents increasingly rely on municipal websites, email notifications, and social media for information about local government. The attached resolution supports legislation that would provide municipalities with greater flexibility to communicate with residents using modern, accessible, and cost-effective methods while preserving transparency and public participation. I respectfully recommend the Town Board adopt the attached resolution. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
