Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor Reference: FleetwoodNillage of Fishkill Water Interconnection Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: As a fOllow-up to our May 9th, 1999 letter, a meeting was held at the Dutchess County Health Department regarding the Fishkill Booster Station at the Fleetwood Water District. In attendance at the meeting were Jack Railing, Jim Politti, Mike Takacs, Dan O'Connor and myself. The following items were discussed: 1. There would be system shutdown Friday, May 21 st, 1999, between 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon for approximately one hour to install the alarm system. This is acceptable to Mr. O'Connor. By copy of this letter, I am notifying Camo Pollution Control of this intent. 2. Mike Takacs reported that the fencing and the landscaping in the rear of the pump station has 'been completed. The final grading is done, but the seeding has not been done. He expects that to be done any day. 3. CIa Valves/Variable Freauency Drive: · The only remaining item appears to be the issue of the installation of the cia valves or variable frequency drive. It was the opinion of Jack Railing that the variable frequency drive installation is the preferred option, and as the installation of either will cost essentially the same, it is very likely that the variable frequency drive will be installed. · At this point, it is a question of who will pay for this installation. Jack Railing has written a letter to the Contractor stating that it is his responsibility to have them installed. In turn, the Contractor has drafted a letter to the pump station manufacturer to question them as why the valves were not installed initially. Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. Ernst ~Iartin, Jr.. P.E., L.S. Charles R. Del Bene, Jr., I'.E. Constance O. Smith Town Board RE: Fleetwood/Village of Fishkill - 2 - May 19, 1999 · In any event, Jack spoke on the telephone with the pump station manufacturer and was informed that within five (5) working days there will be a letter forthcoming from the pump station manufacturer detailing the cost of the installation of the variable frequency drives and the proposed project schedule. The Village will need to authorize this work upon receipt of the letter, as this has not been done. It is anticipated that this will be done Monday, June 7th, 1999. After the authorization, the pump station manufacturer will install the variable frequency drive. It is Mr. Railing's opinion that there should be no reason why the authorization would not be forthcoming. Once I know the time schedule, I will inform the Town Board Members. If there are any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Very truly you.rs, /J , ~~~@ :~ ~ Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:law cc: Hon.
