Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement
Phase 3A, Contract No.1
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
During the construction of Contract No.1 of the above referenced Sewer District,
it was necessary to cross the gas main that exists on the south side of Hopewell
Road. During the design phase of the contract, consultation with Central Hudson
indicated that the gas main has between 30"-36" of cover. The sanitary sewer
main was designed accordingly.
Upon excavation, it was discovered that the gas main is 54" deep. This was not
an oversight by Central Hudson, but was caused because the road had been raised
a couple of times over the years and additional cover now existed. In any event, it
has become necessary to relocate the gas main. We contacted Central Hudson on
that day and put those wheels in motion. The work is scheduled to be done within
two (2) weeks.
The purpose of this letter is to inform the Board that there will be additional costs
due our Contractor because of having to re-excavate the area of the sewer line in
the area of the gas main. We will keep the Board appraised of these costs.
If there are any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to contact this
office.
Very trul~, yours, /'I"'"~C:"i
