The Peekskill Common Council voted Feb. 23 to award Bid No. 2025‑007 (Alternate 4) to Scape‑Tech Landscape Technology, Inc. to construct the Civic Hub Project and related S Division Street improvements. The council authorized a contract not to exceed $2,176,900 for the Civic Hub Project and $1,096,550 for the S Division Street Improvements. The motion passed by majority; Councilman Brian Fassett recorded an opposed vote while the other six council members voted in favor.
City documents for the project cite a New York State Department of State (DOS) funding arrangement providing $2,728,000 for design and construction, with $2,176,900 identified as available in account 007.8686.0406.0779 after design and construction management expenses. The low bid from Scape‑Tech totals $4,470,000 including alternates; the council motion awards only the amounts allocated for each project piece noted above.
Council members said the projects are intended to create new public plazas, pedestrian-safety upgrades and new crosswalks at Division and Park streets and to make streetscape improvements at several downtown intersections. Roll call shows Councilman Fassett opposed the award; the council authorized the City Manager to enter the contract subject to review and approval by the City Manager and City Attorney.
