Mr. Altieri explained that construction manager, Calgi Construction, initially questioned the
lowest bid since it was considerably lower than the other bids, as well as lower than our
own estimates.. Mr. Altieri further explained that Calgi Construction has subsequently met
with representatives from Arben for clarification on why their bid was so much lower.
Arben explained that due to their extensive bridge work, they perform their own lead
abatement and are able to perform their own steel work and painting, further adding they
will not be sub contracting any of the work for this project. They are currently working on
projects in Larchmont for the County and are therefore able to consolidate site
construction efforts. Based on this information, Calgi Construction is recommending this
bid be awarded to Arben Construction.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Supervisor O'Keeffe, it was
RESOLVED, that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby award
Contract TA-07-11 — Demolition of Stairwell at Larchmont Parking

Home Rule Legislation — Special parking District
Mr. Altieri informed the Board that he has been notified by our State Assemblyman,
George Latimer, that because the Assembly was unable to vote on our Home Rule
Request for a Residential Parking District during their Fall term, the Town will need to
reissue a Home Rule Request as well as a Town Resolution reflecting the new year.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Fishmam, the
following was approved
WHEREAS, the Town of Mamaroneck contains a residential neighborhood, that is
near to a commuter train station and commercial business district, and

Eastchester, have solved such problems by obtaining state authority to establish
residential parking regulations within a defined parking district, and

behalf of its residents,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, the Town of Mamaroneck requests passage of legislation in the
