Smith, Supervisor Reference: Rowell Lane — Drainage/Curbing Improvements Bid Review Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: As a follow-up to our August 14`h, 2000 letter to the Town Board, please be advised that we have reviewed the bids and would advise that the price submitted by the apparent low bidder, S.J. Lore Contractors of $49,900.00, appears to be consistent with current construction trends.. We, therefore, recommend that the Board review this amount, and decide amongst themselves whether or not they wish to make the improvement. Again, the cost is representative of current construction trends. We have noticed during the last 3 — 4 months that bid prices are appreciably higher than earlier in the year, and in most recent years, due to the amount of work and workload of the individual contractors. If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Ver truly yours, Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:Iaw cc: Hon. Vincent Bettina, Councilman Hon.

Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance 0. Smith, Supervisor Reference: Carroll Drive/Rowell Lane Roadway Improvements Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: At a recent Town Board meeting, our office was instructed to make a field inspection of the above referenced two streets and intersection to decide what can be done to combat a runoff/icing problem that occurs in the winter. An inspection of the above area shows that there are a number of drain pipes, ditches, etc. that come down off the hill just west of Carroll Drive and south of Rowell Lane, that drain to the street. The homeowners have installed diversion ditches around their houses, pools, etc. to protect their property and divert the runoff towards the road. In the winter when these drains work, they weep out onto the roadway causing icing problems. The lack of adequate crow and places for the runoff to go compound the problem and allow for the icing conditions to occur. It is recommended that: 1 . The curtain drain on Carroll Drive just south of the intersection of Rowell Lane be tied into the existing storm drain on the west side of the Road. This could be done by the Highway Department. 2. An overall reconstruction project be done on the section of Rowell Lane between Carroll and Davies. This roadway reconstruction should consist of : • New curb construction. • Realigning the pavement to a proper cross section providing proper, if not, exaggerated crown, installation of a curtain drain on the south side of Rowell Lane to collect the runoff and transport it to the closed storm drain system.

Smith - 2 - May 31 , 2000 Town Board RE: Carroll Drive/Rowell Lane This work would need to be bid work except for the final pavement as.it is outside the scope of Highway Department forces capabilities, If the Board wishes us to prepare a cost estimate for the above work, please advise. If there are any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to contact our office. �rulyVer yours, eX� Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:Iaw cc: Hon. Vincent Bettina, Councilman Hon.
