Robert H. Balkind, P.E., Commissioner
January 15, 2025
RESOLUTION REQUEST - TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO
EXECUTE GRANT AGREEMENTS TO RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR A SAFETY
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT THE COUNTY ROUTE 114 (MAIN STREET)/NORTH
GRAND AVENUE/SOUTH GRANT AVENUE, IN THE TOWN OF POUGHKEEPSIE,
DUTCHESS COUNTY NY, AND TO REQUEST AUTHORIZATION FOR
CONSTRUCTION PHASE FUNDING
The Department of Public Works is submitting an application for Federal funding to the Dutchess County
Transportation Council (DCT) for construction phase costs for a Safety Improvement Project at the
County Route 114 (Main Street)/North Grand Avenue/South Grand Avenue Intersection, in the Town of
Poughkeepsie.
In April 2022 the Legislature authorized $275,000 for design and right-of-way expenses for this
improvement project and created capital project H0584. Preliminary engineering design is complete, and
the preferred alternative has been identified. The estimate for construction phase, including both
construction services and construction inspection services is $4,100,000.
The Department is seeking authorization from the Legislature to allow the County Executive to execute
all documents necessary to receive federal funding. In addition, the Department is seeking funding
authorization of $4.1M to pay for the cost of construction ($3,500,000) and construction inspection
expenses ($600,000.) Federal funding will contribute 80% of construction phase costs, with the County
assuming the remaining 20% share of expenses. If the Department's application to the DCTC is not
awarded the federal grant, the Department will not proceed with construction phase work.
This request is a necessary step in the Department's application process, as the application must
demonstrate that the County supports the project, and that the County's share of project costs are
authorized if the Department receives the grant award. Please let me know if you have any questions.
