BALKIND, P.E. COMMISSIONER DAVID C. WHALEN DEPUTY COMMISSIONER DUTCHESS COUNTY GOVERNMENT DePARTMENT OF PuBlIc Works MEMORANDUM TO: Gregg Pulver, Assistant County Executive FROM: Robert H. Balkind, P.E., Commissioner DATE: May 1, 2026 RE: RESOLUTION REQUEST - CAPITAL PROJECT H0629 AMENDMENT PIN 8763.21 CULVERT L-20 REPLACEMENT, TITUSVILLE ROAD (CR 49) TOWN OF LAGRANGE The Department is requesting an amendment to capital project H0629 to increase the appropriations to cover additional project expenses. Capital project H0629 was established via resolution no. 2023226 adopted in December 2023. Resolution no. 2023226 identified the project as a SEQR Type I project, with no adverse environmental impacts. This resolution also authorized project costs at $2,655, 100, with New York State grants (BridgeNY program) totaling $1,500,000. This resulted in a net-to-county project cost of $1,155, 100. A consultant was hired for $300,000 and began working on project design and permitting in 2024. Upon completion of preliminary design in late 2025, the consultant advised that the construction cost estimate was $2,640,000, and construction inspection was estimated at $396,000. With the design consultant's fees factored in, the new estimated project cost was $3,336,000. This exceeded the total project funding authorized via resolution no. 2023226 by $680,900. In an effort to reduce project costs, the Department worked with the consultant to re-design the project. The resulting effort yielded a new project cost of $3,140,000, which includes an increased design fee of $380,000, a reduced construction cost estimate of $2,400,000 and a reduced construction inspection estimate of $360,000. This revised design reduces the overall cost of the project by approximately $220,000 from the original design. The Department is seeking authorization to increase the project's appropriations by $484,900 to fully fund the culvert replacement project. Since New York State grant funding is capped at $1,500,000, the additional $484,900 would be an additional net-to-County expense. New York State requires that the County commit to fully fund the project in order for them to continue to provide the grant funding. Please let me know if you have any questions. cc: Mary F.
