TB Resolution 2025 - 100 : Authorization to Award Contract for the King Road West Culvert and Guiderail Replacement
Whereas the 2025 Ithaca Town Budget’s Capital Improvement Plan earmarked $445,000 for the King Road West Culvert Repair and Guiderail Replacement, which was in addition to the funds
allocated to the project in 2024; and
Whereas the Town Board previously authorized a contract, and related contract amendments with Barton & Loguidice, DPC for Construction Administration and Inspection Services associated
with this project in an amount not to exceed $59,100, and
Whereas pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that
approval, construction and implementation of the King Road West Culvert and Guiderail Replacement (Project) is a Type II Action because the Action constitutes "replacement, rehabilitation
or reconstruction of a structure or facility, in kind, on the same site," and thus the Project is not subject to review under SEQRA; and
Whereas on August 29, 2025, the Director of Engineering (Director) received bids for the Project; and
Whereas the Director reviewed the bids and qualifications received and determined the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $509,000.00 was made by the lowest responsible bidder, R.
DeVincentis Construction, Inc.; One Brick Avenue, Binghamton, NY 13901, and
Whereas the lowest responsive bid exceeded the remaining budgeted amount by $81,500 and an additional contingency is recommended in the amount of $50,000.00; now, therefore be it
Resolved, that the Town Board authorizes the award of the Town of Ithaca King Road West Culvert and Guiderail Replacement contract to R. DeVincentis Construction, Inc.; and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute such contract subject to the approval of the final contract documents by the Director and review by the Attorney for the Town;
and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Engineer is authorized to approve change orders upon receipt of appropriate justification provided the maximum amount of such change orders shall not in the aggregate
exceed $50,000.00 without prior authorization of this Board, and provided further that the total project cost, including contract, engineering, legal, inspection, and other expenses,
does not exceed the maximum authorized cost of $576,500.00 for the project, and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Finance Officer is authorized to transfer unexpended funds within the Part Town Highway Fund budget as needed to complete the project.
