Peekskill staff seek engineering bids to advance McGregor Brook, Hollow Creek and riverfront resiliency work
Summary
Public works staff told the council they expect engineering quotes by July 10 for predevelopment work in three drainage basins and will return next week with an apparent contract winner and a resolution to authorize the selection.
Public Works presented a predevelopment grant opportunity to design resiliency improvements for three drainage areas — McGregor Brook, Hollow Creek basin and the Peekskill riverfront — describing the grant as funding 30% conceptual design including engineering studies, feasibility work and surveying.
Staff said they expect engineer quotes on July 10 and recently modified the bid to allow respondents to also bid on follow-on construction work; they will return next week with a memo identifying the apparent winner and a resolution to authorize contract award. "We are expecting quotes from engineers on July 10," staff said, summarizing the procurement schedule.
Council members asked whether a single engineering firm could bid on multiple projects; staff confirmed firms may bid on one, two or all three areas and noted a tight timeline tied to an August grant submission. Staff emphasized the work is intended to make targeted storm-drain or green-infrastructure improvements to slow flood flows and improve resiliency.
