Mamaroneck board approves H2M design agreement to begin storm‑sewer projects, flags $60M total estimate
Summary
The town board authorized H2M to begin design work on storm‑sewer improvements (initial phase design budget not to exceed $524,600). Officials said previous estimates for 15 identified basins total about $60 million, requiring staged work and external funding.
The Town of Mamaroneck board voted May 21 to authorize a design agreement with H2M Architects & Engineers to begin the design phase for storm‑sewer improvements at priority basins across the town.
The resolution authorized the town administrator to execute the agreement and related documents for design services with a budget not to exceed $524,600. Staff said this phase will produce final cost estimates needed to incorporate projects into the town’s capital budget.
Town staff noted H2M’s earlier estimate that attending to all 15 identified basins would cost roughly $60 million — a sum well above the town’s annual capital budget — and said the work will proceed in stages, starting with five priority locations. Board members said grant funding and creative financing will be necessary to complete all sites.
The board approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and second; staff described this as the transition from study to the design phase, not the construction appropriation.
What happens next: design work will proceed and staff will use the resulting cost estimates to seek grant funding and include construction costs in future capital budgets.
