Town Board reviews sidewalk TAP grant contracts, commissioner details 80/20 federal match and contract amounts
Summary
Commissioner Gary Duquesne asked the board to add explicit cost-breakouts to two posted resolutions for sidewalk TAP grants, listing estimated contract amounts and an 80% federal/20% local match for Old Army Road and Knollwood/ Millwood Road projects.
Commissioner Gary Duquesne presented two comparable resolutions (CD-1 and CD-2) to award design and surveying contracts for sidewalk projects funded through TAP grants. He asked the board to add language to the posted resolutions clarifying that contract costs are split 80% federal grant funds and 20% local matching funds.
Duquesne identified the recommended consultant and costs: Old Army Road design work was listed at $345,000, with $276,000 (80%) from federal funds and a $69,000 (20%) local match; the Knollwood Road project was shown at $280,000 with an $224,000 federal share and a $56,000 local match. He said he would re-upload the resolutions with the revised language and cost breakouts for board review.
Board members noted a typographical inconsistency in the posted items and some members had difficulty viewing the shared materials; the presenter agreed to circulate corrected documents and highlighted the need to be explicit about funding sources when posting the resolution.
The board did not take a final vote at the work session; Duquesne requested authority to re-submit the corrected resolutions for consideration.
