Working with Central Hudson
Purchasing FAQ's
How can I become an approved contractor/vendor for Central Hudson?
Contact the Purchasing Office or rkimball@cenhud.com to receive the appropriate questionnaire form. Forms may also be downloaded from the links to the right. This information will help us determine the best category(s) for your company for the supply of materials or services. All information will be kept confidential. Once your company is on file, please make sure to contact Purchasing when changes occur in your firm.

Once I am an approved contractor/vender, how will I know when projects become available?
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation is required to bid purchases and services for $10,000.00 or over. When a need is identified, bids are sent to those vendors/contractors who are able to provide materials and/or services required. Normally, a pre-bid meeting is established to discuss the project and a bid due date is set. Bids are opened and evaluated and a low evaluated bidder(s) is selected. Upon Corporate approval, a purchase order or contract is prepared and sent to the contractor/vendor. In the case of a contract, the contract must be signed and returned to Central Hudson. Once all insurance is satisfied and the contract signed, a project manager will be in contact and work can begin.

What do I send to Purchasing as proof of insurance?
If work is to be performed on Central Hudson property or if the potential for risk is evident, a contract is issued for the service. Before the contract can be issued, proof of insurance must be received. This proof is in the form of an insurance certificate and is maintained in the Purchasing Office. Insurance must be kept current during the entire term of the contract.

Where do I send my invoice for payment for services rendered?
All bills should be sent to our main office:
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
284 South Avenue
Poughkeepsie, New York 12601
Attn: Accounts Payable Department

When do I have to submit a drug program for my company?
Central Hudson will tell you when such a program is required. If work is to be performed on or near our gas facilities, an approved program is needed before work can begin. All drug programs should be sent to our main office, Attn: Human Resources Department.
