Docusign Envelope ID: C3212DD8-A9A8-47F6-8A3A-5BA12F707C77
Josh Kirsh, Engineering Department, briefly speaks; when engineering looks at a road closure, it will 76
look at the impact on the road network. We can not re-route traffic through private property. We try to 77
work with the petitioners to work through this so they can get their request approved. We suggest 78
closing a few parking spaces in front of the building or rerouting the closure to Phelps on the south, 79
adjacent to the building. This still maintains access to the businesses. This impact on traffic would be 80
significantly less. 81
Alan Potasnik, Board Member, briefly speaks; Alan asks Josh Kirsh if this recommendation he 82
suggests is the best option to ensure that the neighboring business will not be affected. Alan asks 83
Sergey if this has any liability on the city, making the public reroute to turn around. Sergey states this 84
would not be a liability on the city. 85
Sergey Grechukhin, Corporation Counsel, briefly speaks that we recommend that the petitioner ask 86
Studio M for permission to use their property. The Petitioner has already requested permission from 87
Studio M. The Petitioner's attorney stated that Studio M already knows of their request and is behind 88
them on the request. 89
Josh Kirsh spoke to the petitioner, and they agreed on a different closure that does not affect the public 90
or cause issues with the public turning around on private property. We suggest the application be 91
approved with conditions and changes. Josh Kirsh shows a visual map for Alan Potasnik and the 92
public to reference what Engineering and the petitioner are requesting and the new road closures 93
agreement. 94
James Barlow agrees to approve the request as long as the petitioner agrees to the Engineering's 95
changes for lane closures. Board Member Potasnik moved to approve. Board Member Barlow 96
seconded. Request approved 2-0. 97

ADD-ONS 128
Board Member Potasnik moved to add-on two items to the agenda. Board Member Barlow seconded. 129
Add-Ons Approved 2-0. 130
Request for Purchase of Goods and Services; Rieth-Riley Construction Co., Inc.; ($939,658.97); 131
106th Street and Keystone Bridge Repair; Sergey Grechukhin, Corporation Counsel, briefly speaks; 132
we just received a signed agreement for the bridge restoration work that the BPW opened bids for and 133
awarded the contract to Reith- Riley Construction- that is the reason for missing the agenda 134
submission deadline. As a recap, the bridge is located on 106th St. It was hit last year and requires 135
renovation. Because of multiple reasons outside of our control, we had to secure additional 136
appropriation from the Council and rebid the work this year. On a second attempt, the bids came 137
significantly lower and were within the budget. We are eager to begin this project promptly and 138
request BPW approval. Board Member Potasnik moved to approve. Board Member Barlow seconded. 139
Request approved 2-0. 140
Request for Professional Services; Weihe Engineers, Inc.; ($87,950.00); 24-PRK-01 Autumn 141
Greenway and Veteran’s Way Topographic Survey Services; Sergey Grechukhin, Corporation 142
Counsel, briefly speaks; this is a time-sensitive matter as the Park Department requires this survey to 143
proceed with the design contract for the Autumn and Veterans Greenway trails, with the goal of 144
potentially commencing trail work this year. The signed agreement was received today, necessitating 145
this urgent request. Board Member Potasnik moved to approve. Board Member Barlow seconded. 146
Request approved 2-0. 147
