Rationale: Capital Funds assignment for CIP 10910 “Installation of Auditorium Seating” at Lincoln High School to Nickerson Corporation for $250,000.00 for a term of 365 calendar days.


This is to assign capital bond funds in anticipation of the disbursement of the approved NYS State and Municipal Facilities Program (SAMS 22644) grant in the amount of $250,000.00. This is required to meet obligations to the vender, Nickerson Corporation, who installed the auditorium seating in the fall of 2021.

PO 2022-2845 for Nickerson was issued per Resolution 17.26, May 19, 2021.
The work was estimated to cost $300,000, $250,000 of which is to be reimbursed by the Grant. Work was completed in December 2021.

Application for the grant was made on Sept 4, 2019. The Grant was awarded on February 27, 2020. (Accounts Payable will be able to reimburse capital project related costs back to this date.) On April 28, 2020, DASNY informed that all work on grants was on-hold indefinitely due to COVID. The Grant Disbursement Agreement (which is required to transfer funds to the grantee) could not be executed in time for the construction. It is still 2 to 3 months away.

This is to request $250,000 in capital bond funds for use to pay the vendor pending the completion of the DASNY approval process.
