Mayor LoriA. Sullivan and Philip Zegarelli, Village Manager
Village of Briarcliff Manor, Village Hall
Ll.lL Pleasantville Road
Briarcliff Manor, NY 105L0
RE: Comprehensive Plan Addendum to provide updated recommendations for B
District - Proposalfor Consultant Services
Dear Mayor Sullivan and Mr. Zegarelli,
Based on our September 7th meeting with the Village Board of Trustees (BOT), we
understand that the village is interested in pursuing an addendum to the 2007
Comprehensive Plan to provide updated recommendations for the Village's (B)
Planned Office Building and Laboratory District. At the time the 2007 Comprehensive
Plan was adopted, all four properties located wíthin the Village's B District (i.e.
Briarcliff Executive Park (Mearl), Philips Laboratories, Sony Electronics, and Briarcliff
Corporate Campus) were occupied and contributing to the commercial tax base of
the Village. Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan recommended that the B D¡stricts
remain as zoned and continue to only allow commercial business uses. Over the past
nine years, much has changed in the office market in Westchester County and
planned office complexes in isolated suburban locations, for the most part, are no
longer economically viable. Accordingly, three of the four office complexes are
currently vacant, and have been for some time, and the fourth is only part¡ally
occupied.
ln addition, the Village has also recently received preliminary applications for
redevelopment of two of the vacant B zoned parcels (Mearl and sony) with mult¡-
family residential uses. Ratherthan undertake redevelopment of these properties on
a piecemeal basis, the Village is in a posítion to set a new vision for how it would like PÂI iI IiI]{.KT II JÑST ÂÍIiIIA
to see these properties brought back into productive use and determine the type and FR.¿.¡]i"i S FiSi-i FAICP
(lE+R':ìEi .iÀi CìUËi¡r'iPr PE ¿'rl(lP
density of uses permitted. The first step ¡n setting the stage for future reuse of these
iAR,{H K YA'T:ÈL Äi':P
long vacant properties is to undertake a targeted addendum to the 2007 r,u:i¡f.j Ë,\_\,"4 iE Al{_:P P¡,
Comprehensive Plan that specifically looks at the existing B Districts and makes
recommendations as to potential future use, density and zoning opt¡ons. once the
comprehensive Plan has been updated, the Village or a project applicant could move
forward with zoning text and map amendments as needed.

This memorandum outlines BFJ Planning's proposed scope of work related to the
proposed Comprehensive Plan Addendum and the related New York State
Envíron menta I Quality Review Act (SEQR) docu mentation.
Scope of Work
BFJ proposes the following scope of work
PHASE 7: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADDENDUM
Task 1: Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee - As a first step, BFJ will work with
a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee consisting of approximately six to eight
Village stakeholders. The Committee would be tasked with developing land use and
zoníng recommendations for the Village's B Districts to present to the BOT. BFJ will
review existing conditions at each of the B zoned parcels with the Committee and
explore with them various zoning options and land use scenarios. The potential
environmental impact of various opt¡ons will also be discussed. Once the Committee
has formed a consensus on the recommendations forthe D District, BFJ will present
them at a joint BOT and Committee meeting. lt is estimated that the Committee
would meet individually with BFi three times and once at a joint meeting with the
BOT.
Task 2: Prepare Comprehensive Plan Addendum - Once the Advisory Committee
recommendations have been presented to the BOT and the BOT has reached
agreement on the recommendations, BFJ will draft the Comprehensive Plan
Addendum. Rather than undertake a complete update to the 2007 Comprehensive
Plan, we are proposing to only undertake a targeted update to the B District
recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan. The addendum, would be a standalone
document that accompany the Comprehensive Plan. We believe this is the most
expedient approach, given that the rest of the Comprehensive Plan is still workíng for
the Village and the only area really in need of an update is the B District
recommendations. Once the Addendum has been drafted, we will submit it to the
BOT for review and discussion. Following this discussion we will make any necessary
revisions to the addendum and resubmit to the Village.

Task 3: Public Hearing - Once the addendum is drafte d, the Village is in a position to
schedule a public hearing. BFJ will attend the public hearing on the Comprehensive
Plan addendum and present the recommendations to the BOT and public, if needed.
Based on the outcome of the public hearing, BFJ with input from the BOT, will revised
and finalize the addendum.
PHASE 2:SEQR - FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
Prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Addendum, the Village must comply
with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). We propose to
undertake a Full EnvironmentalAssessment Form (EAF) containing relevant technical
appendices/attachments to support a determination of non-significance (Negative
Declaration). The EAF is generally prepared following the completion of the draft
Comprehensive Plan addendum.
Task 1: Preoaration of Full Environ mental Assessment Form (EAF) Part 1 - Part 1 of
a Full EAF and technical appendices/attachments will be prepared for the
Comprehensive Plan Addendum (proposed action) to ass¡st the lead agency (Board of
Trustees) in determining whether the proposed action may result in a significant
effect on the environment. The Full EAF will be accompanied by a detailed project
description and íllustrative maps and graphics. Based on our understanding of the
project, we anticipate the need to prepare detailed technicalstudies in the following
environmental impact areas to be appended to the Full EAF:
¡ Land use, zoning and public policy
¡ Community Facility lmpacts (i.e schools, police and fire)
o Traffic (trip generation)
Upon completion, Part 1 of the EAF will be submitted to the BOT for review and
comment. ln addition, BFJ will prepare a draft Resolution of lntent to be Lead Agency
as part of the SEQR coordinated review process (required for Type I Actions). This

adopt the Resolution of lntent to be Lead Agency. The involved agencies will have 30
calendar days to respond to the EAF and Resolution.
- Once
the BOT has been established as the lead agency, BFJ will assist the board in the
preparation of a Parts 2and3 EAF as required by SEQR. The lead agency is responsible
for preparation of Part 2 and normally uses Part 2 EAF to determine whether the
proposed action will result in any significant adverse lmpacts. Using the information
provided in Parts L and2 of the EAF, the lead agency will determine the significance
of the action by making a positive or negative declaration (Part 3). Generally, when a
negative declaration is filed, the lead agency determines that no significant
environmental impacts are anticipated, and the SEQR process isthen completed. BFJ
will prepare the negative or positive declaration for the lead agency. lf a negative
declaration is issued, the SEQR process is concluded; however, if a positive
declaration is adopted, the preparation of a Generic EIS will be required. As proposed
herein, we would intend to rule out or mit¡gate1 any potential adverse environmental
impacts from the proposed project in the hopes of adopting a Negative Declaration.
Timetable
Based on the above, we propose to complete the scope of work within 4-5 months of
receiving a signed authorization to proceed. A detailed project schedule is included
as Attachment A.
Budget
BFJ proposes to complete the scope of work on a t¡me and expense basis as outlined
in the budget estimate contained in Attachment B.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the above.
A countersignature below will serve as authorization to proceed with work on the
Comprehensive Plan Addendum.

Any proposed mitigation measures would be incorporated into the project description and
not be listed as mitigation measures per se.

Re: VM 1516-7 - Electrical. I tersection f m nrovem ents
Bids were opened on July 19,2016, at 11:00 a.m. for the above referenced project. Pre-
sent at the bid opening were David J. Turiano, P.E., Village Engineer, and Village Man-
ager Philip E. Zegarelli.
BIDDER BID
AMOUNT
Verde Electric $199,945.00
Recall that this project was originally bid as a single prime contract whereby the civil
portion of the work (retaining wall and grading), and the electrical portion of the work
(traffic signal) were to be performed by a single prime contractor. Bidder tumout was
poor with one bidder submitting a bid of $595,500.00. The Village was not comfortable
with this single bid as it recognized that it did not get competitive pricing for the civil
portion of the work. Accordingly, the project was rebid as two separate prime contracts,
one each for the electrical and for the civil portions.
Unfortunately, after an aggressive bid solicitation process, only one bid was received for
the electrical project, Verde Electric. This is a common occuffence in the industry as it
relates to traffic signal installations as there are few contractors in the region that perform
this type of work. The Village in the past has successfully awarded projects to Verde
Electric when they were the sole bidder.
The bids were reviewed by my office for completeness and it was determined that the bid
was complete and acceptable. In addition, the bid price was compared to two other traf-
fic signals recently installed by the Village and the bid number appears to fall in line.
Funding for this project has been proposed in the amount of $200,000.00 in the upcoming
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Funds should be available under H.1440.201.17220 for
this project pending approval of the CIP by the Village Board.
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Village award the project to Verde Elec-
tric of Mount Vernon, New York in the amount of $199,945.00.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions relating to the above

Re VM 1516-7- Civil - Intersection Improvements - Pleasantville
and North State Roads
Bids were opened on July 19,2016, at 1 1:00 a.m. for the above referenced project. Pre-
sent at the bid opening were David J. Turiano, P.E., Village Engineer and Philip E. Ze-
garelli, Village Manager.
This project includes the construction of a reinforced concrete retaining wall together
with backfrlling and rough grading in the vicinity of the former Birrittella property. This
work, in connection with the pending Westchester County Pleasantville Road Recon-
struction Project, and the Village's Traffic Signal Installation Project will provide for an
overall intersection upgrade and improvement.
Six (6) bids were received ranging from $3 1 8,000.00 to $915,000.00 as shown below
Vendor Bid
McNamee Construction Corp. s915,000.00
Con-Tech Construction Technology, $538,000.00
Inc.
Villa Construction $357,000.00
Morano Brothers Corp $672,425.00
Tony Casale, Inc. $390,000.00
Abbott & Price $318,000.00
Recall that this project was originally bid as a single prime contract whereby this civil
portion of the work (retaining wall and grading), and the electrical portion of the work
(traffrc signal) were to be performed by a single prime contractor. The Village was not
comfortable with this single bid as it recognized that it did not get competitive pricing for
this portion of the work. Accordingly, the project was rebid as two separate prime con-
tracts, one each for the electrical and for the civil portions.
2
The low bidder was reviewed by my offrce for completeness and it was determined that
the bid was complete and acceptable. Abbott & Price has recently performed several pro-
jects for the Village, including the Community Center and Comfort Station/Pump Station
Project. Putting aside timing and scheduling concerns, Abbott & Price did provide a
wide range of construction services in a satisfactory manner. The range of services
ranged from excavation, utility and building construction. The current Project is excava-
tion/civil related in which Abbott & Price owns and operates most of his own equipment
and should be able to complete without incident.
The Village did not perform any reference checks on Abbott & Price as it is very familiar
with their work and have an ongoing working relationship.
Funding for this project has been proposed in the amount of $325,000.00 in the upcoming
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Funds should be available under H.I440.201.17220 for
this project pending approval of the CIP by the Village Board.
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Village award the project to Abbott &
Price.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions relating to the above.
