Fifth on the agenda is the fire barracks renovation, in this case the city manager would get the green light from the city council to pay $17,500 to Rockville Centre-based firm PL Engineering for additional design work on the National Boulevard Fire Department Barracks. Those funds, the agenda reads, are currently available in an account listed as “City Hall Fire Department Renovation.”
The sixth agenda item is a proposal to purchase two ADA-compliant vans for city use — a Chrysler Voyager and a Ram Crew Cab — costing the city $21,934.92. According to the agenda, the first of these vans is being purchased from Orlando, FL-based Matthews Bus Alliance INC at a total cost of $164,166.06, while the second is being purchased from Watsonville, CA-based National AutoFleet Group at a total cost of $55,183.14. 90 percent of the vehicle costs will be funded through federal transportation grant funding under the proposal.
