Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance O. Smith Reference: Airport Drive Soccer Fields Dear Supervisor Smith: As previously instructed, this office has started the design of the soccer field complex on Airport Drive. As you recall, this land was given to the Town in 1990 for development of recreational facilities. The soccer field layout was coordinated with the current members of the Wappingers United Soccer Club and meets current design standards. The layout includes the construction of four '(4) fields; three (3) regulation size, one (1 ) junior size, and approximately 180 parking spaces. Access would be off Airport Drive and preclude parking along that street. The work would include, but not be limited to: stripping the existing topsoil, filling in the field to the appropriate level to facilitate proper runoff, fine grading the facilities, re -spreading the topsoil, seeding the fields, preparing walkways between the fields, concrete curbs at the entry ways to the park, paving the entry ways and main roads into the park, gravel in the parking lots, and providing precast concrete bumpers to delineate parking spaces. It, is estimated that the construction value of the above work is approximately $360,000.00 - $380,000.00. At first glance this number seemed high. However, I reviewed the file and saw that preliminary cost estimates back in early 1994 showed a construction cost of approximately $85,000.00 just for the westerly field and westerly parking area.

Background Information: We inspected the existing drainage at the Airport Drive Soccer Field. Based on observations made at the site and review of existing mapping of the site, the following is offered: There is an existing storm drain crossing under Airport Drive that discharges stormwater from the south side of the road to the north into a swale on the soccer field property. The end section of the pipe, which is enclosed by fencing, gets blocked with debris and silt. The existing drainage swale which receives the drainage flow is a shallow swale that runs south to north through the site with a minimum slope conveying stormwater to a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation designated wetland at the rear of the property. From the mapping, the swale is approximately 420 feet long and slopes from an estimated elevation of 158.5 to elevation 156.9 for a total fall of 1.6 feet or approximately 0.38%. This is a very minimal slope and as such requires very careful mowing and maintenance to prevent any blockage. Some areas of blockage from overgrown grass, foot bridges and sunken areas were noted during: our site visit. The minimal grade does not permit piping the drainage swale. Supervisor Colsey and Town Board Town of Wappinger Proposed Remediation Work: March 4, 2010 Page 2 The proposal is to clean out and regrade the existing swale. The Swale will be reconstructed to a cross-section dimension of: PROPMD RECRADED SWC SCOW Y'41' -V The northern portion of the existing swale (approximately 100') is located within the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation wetland adjacent area. Any work that would be proposed within the adjacent area will require a wetlands permit. It is estimated that the engineering cost for submission of permit application and related documentation would be $1,500.00. The time frame for the proposed work is estimated to take about 2 weeks and will encompass the following scope of work items along with estimated costs (costs are based on prevailing wage rates): Item Est. Costs Install Erosion and Sediment Control measures $5,000.00 Provide Grade Stakes every 50 feet $2,000.00 Remove section of Chain-link Fence, Install gate posts, Install gate and replace chain-link fence $2,000.00 Install 2 — 20 foot lengths of 18" x 24" oval drainage pipe with 4 end sections to provide crossings $9,000.00 Clean and regrade swale $5,000.00 Verify grades $500.00 Hand rake Swale $1,000.00 Seed and mulch $2,500.00 Site restoration $2,500.00 Sub -total $29,500.00 10% Contingencies $2,950.00 10% Engineering and Legal $3,245.00 Total $35,695.00 Say $36,000.00 E:\documentsNTWappinger\a W20101W21008.0 Airport Dr -Soccer Drainage\Airport Dr Soccer Field drainage rpt to TB 3-4-10.doc Supervisor Colsey and Town Board Town of Wappinger March 4, 2010 Page 3 Therefore, based on the proposed work as outlined above, it is estimated that the expense to obtain a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation wetlands permit, clean and regrade the existing Swale at the Soccer park would be $37,500.00.

In order to determine the viability of a typical system, deep tests and percolation tests would be required. These soil tests would be used to determine the depths to groundwater and/or rock, if encountered. If favorable soil results for a subsurface sewage disposal system are obtained, then a holding tank system would not be entertained for approval by the DCHD. The design and construction of a new building, location to Ibe determined by the results of soil tests, to house the bathroom facilities would be required and wound also include an ADA accessible facility. It should be noted that if a subsurface sewage disposal system is installed, then a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit may be required based on the anticipated design flows used for the system. The following table lists the engineering and construction phases of the project with estimated costs. Supervisor Colsey and Town Board March 4, 2010 Town of Wappinger Page 2 Item Est.

This cost would be finalized after soil tests are performed. ** Note: This estimated cost would be finalized based on the Dutchess County Health department requirements for size and alarms. Therefore, based on the above estimated costs the project it could be anticipated that the construction of a permanent bathroom facility at the Soccer Park would run approximately $54,450.00 to $57,475.00 depending on whether a subsurface sewage disposal system or a holding tank system was to be installed. It should be noted, the installation of a permanent. bathroom facility, of either design, will require an area in the parking area or portion of a soccer field to be dedicated to this use. Presently, there is an existing drilled well on the property. However, according Camo Pollution Control, Inc., this well is not in use. As an adjunct to the installation of the permanent bathroom facilities it will be required to provide a water supply. This would require design and approval of the DCHD for a non -community public water supply system. An estimated cost for the engineering and construction of this system would be approximately $25,000.00.

Meyers PhD, FACSM, and Bill S. Barnhill, MD Field Utility There are two limiting factors affecting field utility that must be addressed in comparing the different types of field surfaces. For natural grass fields, the limiting factor is the wear of the grass surface. Natural grass must be "rested" to allow the grass to repair itself. FieldTurf is vastly more durable than natural grass and therefore the limiting factor is the demand for the facility. Since children and youths are the primary players, peak use is during after school hours. The second limiting factor that must be considered in determining the overall cost is the longevity of the system. With an unsurpassed life expectancy of 8 to 15 years, depending on usage patterns, the FieldTurf sports surface can stand up to continual use from athletes whose cleats would tear away at a real grass field.

Other areas of work that have been included for each field is the installation and, maintenance of the necessary soil erosion control measures, watering of the fields for a certain period of time after construction, installation of the split rail fence that denotes the wetlands as per our New York State Department of Environmental Conservation permit, installation of gravel walkways around the field for pedestrian access, and installation of paved walkways around the field to provide for handicap access to certain portions of the fields. We have also included the necessary fees for design and construction inspection for the project. Because of the magnitude of the project, it must be put our to public bid. Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E.

As you can see from the results, the lowest bidder Is approximately $30,000.00 over the pre-bid construction estimate. This overage is due to several factors, including the Inclusion of a performance specification on the final seed (60 days worth of watering/mowing/maintenance, etc.), specifying screened topsoil instead of native topsoil, and inclusion of walkways to facilitate a viewing of the soccer games. As you can also see from the bid results, the bids range from a low'df &140,000.00 to a high of well over 5200,000.00. Because of the bid results, we would recommend that the Town Board reject any and all bids as per Sections NTB-2; ITB -3. After further review and consideration, it would appear that the construction of the soccer field to the quality originally enti.cipa' ted would be like "trying to put a square peg' In a round hole". We might recommend, however, that the Board consider the construction of the entire access and parking area as shown on the enclosed sketch and allow the Soccer Club to utilize the fields AS IS for the Fall 1995 Season. determine what mines remedial work would be nec - smart theme Spr,ng- -9 S�e� as.

As part of our preparations, it is our understanding that the Town Board has approved the necessary work to be done at the Airport complex. After a thorough inspection of the fields at the Airport complex, it has been determined that the easterly fields are not currently playable and will not be so for a few weeks. As a result, our club requests the Boards permission to move the age groups that play on those three fields back to Rockingham Park for the Spring season. With the Board's approval, we will start the season at Rockinham on Saturday, April 20 and will end it on Saturday June, 23. The start of the season at Rockingham will be a week later than the rest of the program which will start at Airport on Saturday, April 13. By not using the easterly fields at Airport the Town will be able to get the work started earlier and have it completed in time to ensure that those fields will be finished and in good shape for the Fall season in September. The Age groups that we will need to move to Rockingham represent approximately 40% of the program, but it is important to keep in mind that participation during the Spring season is lighter than in the Fall due to other activities available so that traffic at Rokingham will not be at the same level. Also, there will not be any heavily attended activities, such as an "Opening Day" ceremony, which would create heavy traffic. In addition, our club requests the Board's permission to move the remaining portion of the program back to Rockingham after the Memorial Day holiday to finish the final four weeks of play. This is necessary so that the Town may complete the work required on the westerly fields at Airport, again ensuring that all fields will be finished and in shape for the Fall season when the program's move to Airport can be permanent. If there are any questions or concerns regarding our requests, please contact me at 298-952.1.

During the fall of 1995, cars were parked on the shoulder of Airport Drive in the East and Westbound lanes, leaving little room for the commercial traffic traveling through the area, it appears that there is insufficient parking for the level of activity at the field resulting in the overflow parking in the roadway. In addition, the parking lot being located within only a few feet of the roadway would leave the operator of a motor vehicle insufficient time to react should a child run out fi-orn behind a car while chasing a ball. My concern is that this congestion will create a dangerous, situation that could lead to the unnecessary injury of one of our children. In order to rectify the problems listed above, I offer the following suggestions: + Limit parking on Airport Drive to the designated parking lots only. Construct a chain link fence on the south side of the parking lot separating it from the road. * Post signs warning parents of the commercial traffic using Airport Drive. Thank you in advance for addressing my concern for, the safety of the children using Airport Park, Very rul' Yours Ric rd M.

Smith Supervisor Town Of Wappinger 20 Middle Bush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590-0324 Dear Ms. Smith: The Wappinger United Soccer Club is looking forward to the opening of the Fall season, our first one at the Airport Complex. As you are aware, the preparation of the fields is progressing well and all our plans are set to play our first games there on Saturday, September 9. As a result of the time we have spent at the complex over the past several weeks, we have come up with a short list of items which we feel should be completed in order to make the best use of the fields. Attached, you will find a list of these items along with a brief description as well as the cstimated cost for each.

Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance 0. Smith Reference: Airport Drive Soccer Fields - Phase Bid Results Dear Board Members: Enclosed please find a copy of the bid results for the above project, As you can see from the results, the lowest bidder is approximately $30,000.00 over the pre-bid construction estimate. This overage is due to several factors, including the inclusion of a performance specification on the final seed (60 days worth of watering/mowing/maintenance, etc.), specifying screened topsoil instead of native topsoil, and inclusion of walkways to facilitate a viewing of the soccer games. As you can also see from the bid results, the bids range from a low of $140,000.00 to a high of well over $200,000.00. Because of the bid results, we would recommend that the Town Board reject any and all bids as per Sections NTB-2; ITB -3. After further review and consideration, it would appear that the construction of the soccer field to the quality originally anticipated would be like trying to put a square peg in a round hole". We might recommend, however, that the Board consider the construction of the entire access and parking area as shown on the enclosed sketch and allow the Soccer Club to utilize the fields AS IS for the Fall 1995 Season. We could then monitor the performance of the fields during the fall to determine what minor remedial work would be necessary to start the Spring 1996 Season. At aminimum, I would think that some filling and grading would be required along the northerly edges of all the fields close to the existing drainage ditch. Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. Ernst Martin, Jr., P.F.,, L.S. � printed an recycled paper Constance O. Smith - 2- June 21, 1995 RE: Soccer Field At that point, the entire expenditure would in all likelihood be well under that originally anticipated amount (close to $400,000.00), and would probably be a more cost efficient use of the property. In order to have the parking areas ready for the fall season, work would need to be started immediately. If the Board, upon review of this letter, does not feel comfortable in reaching a decision, I would schedule a Workshop as soon as possible to further discuss this so that direction could be given. If there are any questions or comments relative to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office. Very truly yours, cc � Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E.

Box 324 Wappingers Falls, Dear Connie: NY 12590-0324 Re: New Soccer Fields Off Airport Drive Thank you and the other board members for taking the time on Saturday June 4, 1994 to meet with myself and Tim Rabbitt to discuss the future of the new fields. As you saw, the grass is growing but a great deal of work needs to be completed prior to these fields being put into service. As discussed, the best approach to the situation is to breakdown the total project into sub -projects which are prioritized by need. The following is a breakdown of the requirements needed so that play can commence in the fall of 1994. This list is in addition to the agreements already made with the Town for the fencing, the filling and proper grading of lowspots that exist on the fields, and the grading and seeding of the area between Field #2 and #3. The estimated costs for each item are based upon the Club's May 21, 1994 drawing a copy of which is attached. 1) Drainage for Parking Areas $ 25300 2) Parking Surface (4" Item 4 over geotextile $ 35000 fabric) approx. -- 55600sf 3) Underdrain and Swales to Handle Rain Water $ 31000 Runoff from the Fields 4) Construction of Field #4 including import of $ 35200 Fill Material, all necessary grading, and Seeding The Club believes that if we can complete the items listed above we can begin play this Fall utilizing a portion of Field #1 while the reworking of the remaining portion of Field #1 takes place at a later date. The Recreation Department has initiated contact with the Dutchess County Soil and Water Conservation Department. Their services are at no cost and their expertise in handling drainage conditions on this type of land will prove essential to the completion of the project. Tim Rabbitt has been handling coordination with butchess County Soil and Water Department. Their recommendations will be utilized in the final plans for the Fields. The plans will then be forwarded to the Town Engineer ,for any further recommendations. In closing, we appreciate the time and the interest you have taken in the Soccer Club. With over 1100 children signed up for the Fall 1994 - Spring 1995 season the time for larger more accessible facilities has come. We would appreciate any and all assistance that the Town can offer to get the fields off to a good start. if you have any questions or require further information please feel free to contact me at 297--9368.

ROAD WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y. 12590-0324 November 12, 1993 FROM: RALPH J. HOLT, CHAIRMAN The Recreation Commission requests permission to obtain a P.O. in the amount of $4,885.00 to A-1 Fence Company to install a fence at Airport Park. Thee fence will try to deter motorcycles etc. from riding over the newly seeded fields. The Wappinger Soccer league is willing to contribute $3,000. toward this project leaving $1,885.00 as an expense to the Town. The Town portion of the expense will come from A-7110.2.

HOLT, CHAIRMAN RE: AIRPORT PARK Since the Town received the 10 acre piece of property now known to us as Airport Park, we have cleared 80% of the site. We have also plowed this two times. At present we harrow the site at least once a month to keep the weeds and other growth from re -appearing. This facility is much needed and if we are to have any chance of using this in 1994, we should proceed to complete all the work that would make it available. We need to power rake the entire field and then have some volunteer help assist in clearings the stone. The next step would be to grade the site. We would then require an estimated $2,500. for seed and finally it would all have to be rolled. Our estimated cost would be around $7,000. We don't have this in our 1993 budget but would propose we use Parkland funds and try and get the job done. All of the above depends an the weather. If we stay in the drought type condition, we of course would have to hold back. Your approval is requested. RJH: m,br R. J. Holt
