TB Resolution 2024–45: Authorization to Award Contract for Creation of a Site Design and Development Criteria Manual
Whereas the proliferation of reference specifications, codes, and standards relative to public works projects, on both public and private lands, has led to challenges coordinating development
review alongside technical review, and
Whereas this joint project of the Town’s Engineering and Planning Departments– to develop a Town of Ithaca Site Design and Development Criteria Manual – intends to clarify the Town’s
expectations for design, construction, operation, and maintenance of municipal infrastructure, and
Whereas the Site Design and Development Criteria Manual Request for Qualifications for Professional Services was advertised in the New York State Contract Reporter, BidNet, and the Town
website on February 27, 2024, and three (3) responses were received by the March 20, 2024, deadline, and
Whereas on March 20, 2024, the Director of Planning received a Statement of Qualifications from Barton and Loguidice, D.P.C. wherein that Firm adequately outlined related work experience,
program objectives, and scope of services that meet and/or exceed our expectations for Professional Services, and
Whereas the Director of Planning and Director of Engineering, respectively, have reviewed the March 20, 2024proposal and qualifications of B&L and recommend approval by the Town Board
for the initial development of Site Design and Development Criteria Manual, not to exceed $87,043, and
Whereas in accordance with 6 NYCRR Section 617.5(c)(24), State Environmental Quality Review, the Study is classified as Type II Action and not subject to environmental review, now, therefore
be it
Resolved that the Town Board approves the proposal for the Town of Ithaca Site Design and Development Criteria Manual as submitted and authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute said
contract, subject to review by the Attorney for the Town.
