Greenburgh engineering staff brief board on repairs, curbing and grant bids
Summary
Deputy town engineer CJ Gelardo updated the board on a license agreement for repairs at 100 East Hartsdale Avenue, curbing and guide‑rail bids, on‑call water consultant contracts, and planning department grant work including a $160,000 state award and a $1.6M DOT application for a Complete Streets project.
Deputy town engineer CJ Gelardo told the board that a license agreement allowing work at 100 East Hartsdale Avenue is in place and that consultants expect to submit materials to the county health department within one to two weeks. Gelardo said that, if approvals proceed on schedule, construction to repair a damaged pipe could begin in late spring or early summer, though timing depends on permits and contractor availability.
Staff reviewed a package of Department of Public Works resolutions that the board will consider: authorization to bid an annual curbing contract (used to improve drainage and prepare streets for paving), a contract to repair or replace highway guide rail, and an authorization to go out to bid for the Taxter Road sidewalk (the procurement step was approved separately from the snow‑clearing policy debate).
Gelardo also described three‑year on‑call professional services agreements for water‑system projects, which would support state‑mandated work including a storage tank replacement and lead‑and‑copper compliance tasks. Those agreements are unfunded authorizations; project funding would come from capital budgets when specific projects are authorized.
Planning Commissioner Gary Duquesne updated the board on planning matters: recommending the accessory‑dwelling‑unit public hearing be continued to March 25 to allow more review, noting the Hartsdale Farmers Market operator intends to return, and announcing a $160,000 New York State Homes & Community Renewal award to support studies for the 4‑Corners zoning effort (no town match), plus a $1.6 million U.S. DOT grant application for a Route 119 Complete Streets/shared‑path project submitted jointly with neighboring municipalities.
Quote: "They are confident that within a week or two, we should be able to submit to the health department," CJ Gelardo said about the 100 East Hartsdale Avenue repairs.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract language where needed, return with clarifications for any contract amounts and funding sources, and the planning department will circulate more information ahead of the March 10 work session and the continued March 25 hearing on ADUs.
