Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement
Phase 3 A-Contract NO.1
Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County
Dear Mr. Stearns:
Attached please find two (2) copies of the Contract Plans and Specifications for the:
above referenced project, dated last revised January 20th, 2000, for your review and
approval.
These documents have been revised to address your comments of February 23rd, 2000
and the Dutchess County Health Department's comments dated February 25th, 2000.
The following are our responses to your comments and those of the Dutchess County
Health Department, in the same numerical order as the comments.
NEW YORK STATE ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES CORP (February 23rd, 2000):
1. The driveway culvert replacements have been included for payment under Item
1.01. A note to this effect has been placed on Sheet 2 of 17.
2. The relocation ofthe 18" storm sewer shown on Sheet 4 of 17 will not cause
problems upstream. because this line has no upstream connection. It is just a)cross-
basin which captures surface runoff along part of the roadway.
Also, a note has been placed on Sheet 4 of 17 indicating that the work required on
the catchbasins will be paid under the pipe Item 13.0IA.
3. All references to "ADSN-12" on the plans have been changes to HDPE.

4. The Dutchess County Health Department did review the Contract Documents. A
copy of their comments is attached.
5. Sewer Line Stations:
a. At Station A26+00 to A27+00, the proposed sewer and existing waterline
separation (horizontal) is approximately 7' -8', however top of the proposed
sewer line is greater than 18" below the bottom of the water line.
b. At Station B2+00:l::, we have proposed to install a concrete cap on the waterline
side of the proposed sewer. This concrete cap was proposed as a result of our
telephone conversation with the Dutchess County Health Department. Their
concern about the lack of separation with the possibility of breaking of the
sewer line during repair work on the water line. We have also specified the use
of caution tape with the cap.
c. At Station B6+00. We lowered the proposed sewer line such that 18" of vertical
separation will be obtained.
d. At Station C3+00 to C4+00, a concrete cap and caution tape have been
proposed for this area, similar to Section 5.b. above.
6. An approximate quantity for Item 8.01 has been added.
7. The specification for air testing has been revised to ASTM F-1417.
Also, your statement regarding the ineligibility of the storm sewer relocation work
is duly noted and we will inform the Town Board of same.
DUTCHESS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT (February 25th, 2000):
1. A stub pipe for future use has been added to Manhole No.6.
2. A detail of the concrete cap has been added to Sheet 4 of 17.
3. The water main at Stations A31 +60 and FO+25 has been shown in the profile.
The vertical separation at Station A31 +60 is 18". At Station FO+25, we have
proposed lowering the water main to obtain the proper vertical separation.
4. A note specifying the use of caution tape in the sewer trench has been added to
Sheets No.4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 of 17.

sections where horizontal separation is less than 10 feet. (Sheet 6 of 17 and
