Rockingham Drainage Project
Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
I received a call on Friday, February 14, 1997 from Mrs. Capuano. As
you may recall, Mrs. Capuano lives on Drew Court and her backyard
faces out on to Old Hopewell Road.
The Capuano's granted an easement to the Town of Wappinger for
drainage purposes in order to facilitate the construction of the
Rockingham Drainage Improvements. I have enclosed a copy of the
construction plan for that section of the project for your review.
As you can see, it was proposed to construct a 6' stockade fence (as
shown in red) along the rear of the Capuano property. It was also
proposed to construct a 6' stockade fence along the rear of the property
adjacent to the Capuanos to the north. In the early stage of design it
was not proposed to construct a stockade fence around the corner.
As you may know, the area has been cleared recently by the contractor
in anticipation of construction of the pipe. When the clearing was done,
it became obvious to Mrs. Capuano that the areas immediately to the
west of her property and the roadway in the extreme southwest corner of
her property was quite visible. .
At that point, she called our office to request that the fence be
constructed along the northerly right-of-way of Old Hopewell Road and
her westerly property line to connect the fence and make it continuous.
This is as shown in blue on the enclosed sketch.
The total footage that would be added is approximately 80' across the
westerly property line and 56' along the northerly edge of Hopewell Road
for a total of 136'. At the contract unit price of $25.00 per foot, this
would equal approximately $3,400.00. This would be a change order to
the contract, if approved by the Board.

RE: Rockingham Drainage

It should be noted that for certain items in the contract (specifically Item
4.01 - Rock Excavation, Item 11.01 -Foundation Stone, and Item 12.01 -
Run-of-Bank Gravel) we anticipate not reaching the estimated quantities
that were put forth in the bid proposal. This should result in a total
completed project amount less than aggregate of the amount bid.
I do not know this for fact yet, however, would aRticipate that this would
be a true statement.
If the Board Members have any questions regarding the above and/or
wish to discuss this at a Workshop, please do not hesitate to contact this
office.
