Board discusses CPL engineering bid for park band shell, tables action pending drainage and electric planning
Summary
The Town Board discussed a CPL proposal to scope a band shell, parking, drainage and electrical needs at the park. Members raised concerns about drainage, fast-charger electrical planning, and whether related projects should be combined to save costs; the board tabled the award pending further coordination and contractor input.
The board considered a CPL proposal to provide site engineering and scoping for a band shell, access road, parking, drainage, vegetative screening and electrical service. Board members pressed staff and the town engineer to ensure surface-water and drainage mitigation are incorporated into the design and urged CPL to consider future electrical needs (including EV fast chargers) so the work would not require re-excavation later.
Several members recommended combining related infrastructure work where feasible to reduce duplicated engineering costs. Because NYSEG and contractor input are required for final siting of electrical infrastructure, and some members wanted the park-level planning better coordinated, the board tabled the CPL award and asked staff to return with more complete scoping that includes drainage mitigation and electrical siting options.
