MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Trustees
FROM: Josh Ringel, Village Manager and Kathryn Nivins, Village Treasurer
DATE: April 19, 2024
RE: Exclusion of Enhanced Mobility Project Phase II/III from 24/25 Capital Budget
After a thorough examination of the total design costs incurred thus far and the projected
expenses required to finalize the construction design and address pre-construction necessities
like right of way and electrical and landscape design, we have concluded that there is no need for
additional appropriations or borrowing by the Board of Trustees for the 24/25 Capital Budget.
We are currently in the initial stages of preparing for the New York State Department of
Transportation's review of DTS’s design work, with anticipation of their comment period and the
Village's subsequent response. Following the completion of this phase, we will proceed to put
the construction bid out. At that juncture, upon receiving the bid results, we will ascertain the
Village's obligation of 20% of the total project costs. Subsequently, we will return to the board
for any necessary authorization above the 23/24 BOT authorization of $3,404,439.
Attached is a breakdown of expenses incurred under the Streetscape Design project by vendor:
It is important to note the anticipated unbilled design costs, additional design fees to
construction, estimated right-of-way (ROW) fees, electrical design purchase order (PO), and
remaining PO for RGR Landscape Design. The anticipated pre-construction totals are
$450,725.47.
The total funding through 23/24 amounts to $687,725.82, leaving an estimated available balance
of $237,000.35 as of April 19, 2024.
Should you require further clarification or information, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
