Attention: Constance O. Smith, Supervisor
Reference: All Angels Hill Road Sewer Line/New Hope
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
As reported to you at the July 27th, 1998 Workshop meeting, I am in the process
of calculating a fair value cost of the point repair that would have had to been
made to excavate and replace a certain section of the pipe for All Angels Hill Road
prior to lining the pipe. As you recall, this was an outgrowth of the problems
incurred by New Hope Pipe Liners, Inc. in lining the pipe along All Angels Hill
Road. A point repair was necessary to be made, and was made, as an emergency
by Ben Ciccone, Inc. and Camo Pollution Control, Inc.
Total cost of the point repair and the sewer lateral excavations was as follows:
TABLE "AN
COMPANY TOTAL REPAIR COST
CAMO POLLUTION CONTROL $ 13,379.14
BEN CICCONE, INC $ 26,590.60
PAGGI, MARTIN & DEL BENE $ 3,687.00
CORBIN EXCA VTING $ 2,660.00
TOWN OF WAPPINGER $ 71 2.00
TOTAL REPAIR COST $ 47,028.74

From the above numbers, I extracted the cost to repair and unplug the two (2)
sewer laterals on All Angels Hill Road. These costs are as follows:

COMPANY SEWER LATERAL COST ONLY
CAMO POLLUTION CONTROL $ 3,260.82
BEN CICCONE, INC $ 5,428.82
PAGGI, MARTIN & DEL BENE $ 800.00
CORBIN EXCA VTING $ 665.00
TOWN OF WAPPINGER $ 178.00
TOTAL REPAIR COST $ 10,332.64
I then looked at the value of the overtime that was necessary for the point repair,
and in all likelihood would not have had to been realized if the repair was done
with prior knowledge. The cost of the overtime is as follows:

COMPANY OVERTIME COSTS ONLY
CAMO POLLUTION CONTROL $ 2,003.50
BEN CICCONE, INC $ 3,892.81
TOTAL COST PREMIUM TIME $ 5,896.31

Please note that this does not include the straight pay that would have had to
been realized for these hours and is only reflective of the premium charges.
Therefore, the total cost for the point repair that would have had to been made by
the Town is . .
. $47,028.74 (Total Cost)
. - 10,350.64 (Sewer Lateral Repair Cost)
. - 5.896.31 (Premium Cost)
$30,799.79 NET COST FOR POINT REPAIR
If the cost of the sewer lateral repair and the premium time ($16, 228.95) is
deducted from New Hope's contract ($37,544.00), the total amount due to New
Hope is $21,315.05. That number added to the $47,028.74 already paid by the
Town equals a total construction cost of $68,343.79.
This is under the cost to remove and replace the pipe of $95,000.00 listed in the
Engineer's Map, Plan and Report dated March 1997.
With that in mind, I would recommend that a settlement be offered to New Hope
reflecting the above figures.
If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this
office.
Very truly yours. ~
