PIN 8005.56 & 8758.75 CSS & CI Funding and Increased Construction Costs

DATE:

September 25, 2025

_____________________________________________________________________________________
On December 16, 2024, WSP USA, Inc. and the City of Newburgh entered an agreement for $954,000.00
related to Construction Support Services (CSS) & Construction Inspection (CI) funding for the City of
Newburgh Broadway Pedestrian and Traffic Signal Improvements PIN 8005.56 and Traffic Signal
Improvements PIN 8758.75, collectively known as the Broadway Pedestrian and Traffic Signal
Improvements. The contract included a 13-month time period. This funding was dated to begin payment
for CI services that started on December 16, 2024. On November 12, 2024, Verde Electric (Prime
Contractor) and the City of Newburgh entered an agreement for $6,803,703.96 for Construction Services
for the above-mentioned Project. The Contract length was projected to last 270 days with funding dated
to begin 10 days after the ‘Notice to Proceed’ which was granted on February 28, 2025.
Due to unforeseen circumstances with locating underground utilities, extensive redesigns to the Contract
needed to be made. Unknown utility locations necessitated the contractor to perform additional
preconstruction investigations which in turn required the need for additional construction inspection /
oversight. Information gathered from these investigations led to redesigns of both the Traffic Signal Poles
and Drainage Structures. Some of the Traffic Signal Pole sizes increased for which material costs and
manufacturing lead times have increased since the letting of the project. Drainage Structure depths and
orientations were altered to accommodate the field conditions. The increased depth and complexity of
this work demonstrated the need for additional safety precautions such as temporary sheeting.
Furthermore, various ancillary items were missing from the contract that were not accounted for during
the design process. The contract failed to include a required stipulation from the City of Newburgh East
End Historical District mandating the use of dyed and stamped concrete sidewalks. This requirement has
precedent, as it was previously implemented and constructed under off-system project PIN 8761.91.
Furthermore, the above additional work has led to the granting of an ‘Extension of Time’ for the contractor
and thus the need for an extension of CSS / CI services.
Attached is a spreadsheet summarizing the negotiated fees for a supplemental work agreement(s) for
Verde Electric to expand Construction Services for the above-mentioned Project. The total fee is
$2,474,432.30. Also, attached is the negotiated fee for a supplemental agreement for WSP USA, Inc. to
continue Construction Support Services and Construction Inspection for the above-mentioned Project.
The total fee is $415,871.00. The total fee including increased Construction Costs, along with CSS and CI
funding is $2,890,303.30.

WSP, on behalf of the City of Newburgh, is submitting a Project Sponsor Request Form for increased
Construction Costs, along with CSS and CI funding for the City of Newburgh Broadway Pedestrian and
Signal Improvements PIN 8005.56 & 8758.75. The form requests $2,890,303.30 from the OCTC TIP. There
are currently two potential sources of additional funding on the OCTC TIP. CMAQ funding is programmed
in FFY 2026 through 2030 under block 8BLK01, and STBG Large Urban funding is programmed in FFY 2029
and 2030 under block 8BLK03. It should be noted that Design/PE and ROW incidentals for PIN 8758.75
were funded through CMAQ, and PIN 8005.26 involves a similar scope of work. Therefore, either source
of funding should be applicable to the project. Dependent on the funding source, funding may have to be
reprogrammed to a different year.
The Contractors current contract with the City projects substantial completion of the project will occur by
September 1st, 2026, with project closeout on November 30, 2026.
Very truly yours,
WSP USA Inc.

COVER LETTER

Chad M. Wade, R.L.A.
Superintendent of Public Works
City of Newburgh
88 Pierces Road
Newburgh, New York 12550
Re: Broadway Pedestrian and Traffic Signal Improvements - Schedule Services Proposal
Dear Mr. Wade,
WSP USA Inc. (WSP) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide construction scheduling review services in
support of the Broadway Pedestrian and Traffic Improvements project. These services build upon WSP’s familiarity
with the project, construction sequencing, and the City’s objectives during construction.
During the course of the project, Verde Electric Corporation, acting as Contractor, has opted to utilize and submit a
monthly Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule to track critical tasks and the anticipated final completion date. A
CPM is not required as part of the scope of the work, nor was it anticipated under WSP’s existing Consultant
agreement for construction support and inspections services contract. However, it is in the best interest of the City
of Newburgh for these schedules to be vetted by the WSP team to ensure they represent an accurate
representation of the progress of work should any Contractor claims arise in the future.
The proposed services include monthly review of the Contractor’s schedule submissions, coordination with the
project team, and preparation of summary documentation to support effective schedule oversight throughout
construction.
Thank you for the opportunity to continue working with the City of Newburgh. Should you have any questions or
require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to continuing our support of
this project.
Sincerely,
WSP USA Inc.

Peter S. Mancuso, PE, PTOE
Assistant Vice President – Traffic Engineering

JULY 4 EVER FIREWORKS how we started…where we are now!

July 4 Ever Fireworks company has been in the fireworks industry for over 40 wonderful years. We have
always been family owned and operated because of our love and passion we have for fireworks.

INTRODUCTION

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) seeks applications from law
enforcement agencies to fund law enforcement technologies (LETECH) and applicable
software/equipment – such as license plate readers, mobile and fixed surveillance cameras,
unmanned aerial vehicles, gunshot detection devices, smart equipment for patrol vehicles
and officers, technology or software and other kinds of public safety equipment – to help keep
New Yorkers and our law enforcement partners safe. Approximately ( fifty m i l l i o n d o l l a r s )
$50,000,000 is expected to be available to fund LETECH and applicable equipment/ software
for local law enforcement agencies outside of New York City.
Law enforcement technology is intended to help local law enforcement agencies prevent and
solve crimes, particularly violent crimes by firearms and crimes of community concern (e.g.,
motor vehicle thefts). As well as serve as an integrated part of an agency’s problem-solving and
community-engagement strategy, helping to increase public trust and communication.
DCJS enhances public safety by providing resources and services that inform decision making
and improve the quality of the criminal justice system. DCJS is a multi-function criminal justice

LAW ENFORCEMENT TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM INFORMATION

Throughout New York and the United States, law enforcement agencies and departments are
increasingly relying on emerging technologies to perform their duties and to enhance public
safety, as well as to collect potentially useful evidence.
LETECH also is proving to be an important tool to assist broader law enforcement, problemsolving, and community engagement strategies within jurisdictions across the state and country.
This deployment of LETECH is intended to help prevent and solve crimes, particularly violent
crimes by firearms, and serve as an integrated part of a law enforcement agency's problemsolving and community-engagement strategy, helping to increase public trust and
communication.
Awards will be granted to each individual applicable department/agency that is selected for an
award. There will be no contracts executed between DCJS and individual award recipients.
Payment will be issued directly to award recipients in the amounts approved by DCJS.

________
-2026

OF
MARCH 9, 2026
RESOLUTION PROHIBITING THE USE OF CITY OF NEWBURGH PERSONNEL AND
RESOURCES FOR CIVIL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT & REAFFIRMING THE
CITY OF NEWBURGH AS A FAIR AND WELCOMING CITY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Newburgh ("City Council") adopted
Resolution No. 71-2017, declaring the City of Newburgh a Fair and Welcoming City, affirming
that all residents, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to equal protection of the laws and
to access municipal services; and
WHEREAS, the City's Fair and Welcoming policy reflects a long-standing recognition that
effective public safety requires trust between residents and local government, and that such trust is
undermined when immigrant community members fear that routine interactions with local police
or City agencies may lead to immigration enforcement; and
WHEREAS, since adoption of Resolution No. 71-2017, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement ("ICE") and other federal immigration authorities have increased enforcement actions
in communities across the Hudson Valley, including operations in the Cities of Kingston and
Beacon and in the City of Newburgh, often conducted without prior notice to local officials and
sometimes involving tactics that cause confusion as to whether agents are local police or federal
officers; and
WHEREAS, the New York State Attorney General has issued "Guidance Concerning Local
Authority Participation in Immigration Enforcement and Model Sanctuary Provisions," which
confirms that local governments retain broad discretion to decline participation in civil immigration
enforcement and provides model language to limit the use of local resources for such purposes while
remaining fully compliant with federal and state law;
WHEREAS, multiple New York municipalities, including Hudson, Kingston, Beacon, and
Rochester, have adopted resolutions and ordinances that reaffirm their status as welcoming or
sanctuary jurisdictions and expressly limit their officers and employees from enforcing federal civil
immigration law or using local resources for that purpose;
WHEREAS, the Governor of the State of New York has recently proposed legislation,
sometimes described as the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, that would prohibit formal agreements
deputizing New York law enforcement officers as federal immigration agents under 8 U.S.C.
§1357(g), and would bar the use of state-funded resources for civil immigration enforcement,
particularly in sensitive locations such as homes, schools, hospitals, and houses of worship;

Page 64 of 70

WHEREAS, the New York for All Act has been advanced in the State Legislature to further
ensure that state and local resources, including personnel, facilities, and data systems, are not
diverted to carry out federal civil immigration enforcement and that sensitive information about
New Yorkers is protected;
WHEREAS, the City of Newburgh is home to a large and vibrant immigrant community,
with more than half of the City's residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino, and is also home to an
equally significant Black immigrant and Black American communities; and
WHEREAS, recent federal actions - including the repeal or restriction of Temporary
Protected Status, humanitarian parole, and other visa and work authorization programs - have
created a broad permission structure for increased civil immigration enforcement, exposing entire
communities to heightened surveillance, detention, and removal regardless of long-standing
community ties; and
WHEREAS, these actions have intensified community-wide vulnerability, particularly
impacting Latino, Black, and mixed-status families, and have undermined public safety, public
health, educational stability, and economic security for the City as a whole;
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that immigration law and civil immigration
enforcement are the responsibility of the federal government, and that nothing in this Resolution is
intended to prevent or obstruct the enforcement of criminal law, but rather to ensure that the City's
limited resources are focused on local public safety and community well-being;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newburgh, that:
Section 1. Reaffirmation of Fair and Welcoming City Policy
1.1. The City Council hereby reaffirms Resolution No. 71-2017 declaring the City of Newburgh
a Fair and Welcoming City, and affirms that all persons, regardless of immigration status,

to access City services without fear that such access will be used to facilitate civil immigration
enforcement.
1.2. It shall remain the policy of the City of Newburgh and its departments not to inquire into
immigration status of any person seeking City services or interacting with City personnel,
except where required by federal or state law or necessary to determine eligibility for a
specific program that is expressly conditioned on immigration status.
Section 2. Non-Enforcement of Federal Civil Immigration Law
2.1. No City agency, officer, or employee, including members of the City of Newburgh Police
Department, shall enforce federal civil immigration law or undertake the duties of a federal

o Judicial warrant – A warrant based on probable cause and issued by an Article III
federal judge or federal magistrate judge authorizing federal immigration
authorities to take into custody the person who is the subject of the warrant. A
judicial warrant does not include a civil immigration warrant, administrative
warrant, or other document signed solely by ICE or CBP officials.
3.2. City agencies shall not collect or maintain information solely for the purpose of immigration
enforcement, and to the extent permitted by law, shall treat immigration status as
confidential and shall not disclose such information to federal immigration authorities
unless:

legally compelled to do so.
4.3. To the extent consistent with law, the City shall treat schools, houses of worship,
reproductive and health facilities, City-run shelters or community centers, and City-owned
properties as protected locations, and shall not consent to the use of such locations for civil
immigration enforcement activities.
Section 5. Police Practices and Response to ICE Activity
5.1. The City of Newburgh Police Department ("NPD") shall maintain and publish a written
policy consistent with this Resolution and the New York State Attorney General's guidance
on local participation in immigration enforcement.

Page 67 of 70

agency involved, and nature of any assistance provided or declined and the reason for
the NPD transmission of communication or coordination with ICE.
