Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Reference: Constance O. Smith All Angels Hill Sewer Main Replacement Dear Supervisor Smith: Attention: As reported at the July 17, 1996 Workshop, the 800' of existing sewer main on the west side of All Angels Hill Road to the south of Kent Road is in danger of eminent collapse. We were instructed to look at two (2) alternative methods for replacing this line. The first method was physically installing a 8" pipe and one (1) manhole in the existing ditch line. To do this, we analyzed the cost of replacement of 800' of 8" PVC, including hooking up the existing lateral connections. In analyzing the site, I noticed that the pipe is located in an existing easement located on the west side of All Angels Hill Road. This easement also has in it an existing water main and utility line. Therefore, replacement of the line would be rather difficult. We also noticed that the residents have planted numerous shrubs and trees in the easement that would need to be removed to replace the pipe. I have asked the Town Attorney to render and opinion whether or not we would have to replace the trees upon completion of construction. He has indicated to me that, in all likelihood, we would not have to replace them. Therefore, the cost estimate that you see below reflects only topsoiling and seeding the easement, and NOT replacing the trees and shrubs. Joseph E. Paggi,Jr., P.E. Ernst Martin, Jr., P.E., L.S. ro ~~ printed on recycled paper Constance O. Smith RE: All Angels Hill - 2 - August 19, 1996 '; If the Town Board made an administrative decision that the trees and shrubs should be replaced to whatever degree, those cO'sts would be in addition to the costs listed below. Our analysis indicates the project cost to replace the pipe is as follows: Construction Cost $ 86,000.00 Contingency $ 9,000.00 Total Construction Cost $ 95,000.00 Engineering Design $ 10,000.00 Engineering Inspection $ 6,000.00 Legal Fees $ 5,000.00 Map, Plan & Report $ 2,000.00 I TOTAL COST I $118,000.00 , , . Constance O. Smith RE: All Angels Hill - 3 - August 19, 1996 '; The second alternative for replacing the pipe is to Insituform the pipe. To determine this cost, we contacted Sal Randazo of Insituform Metropolitan, and he has supplied us with the following information. Construction Cost $ 70,000.00 Contingency $ 7,000.00 Total Construction Cost $ 77,000.00 Engineering Design $ 10,000.00 Engineering Inspection $ 6,000.00 Legal Fees $ 5,000.00 Map, Plan & Report $ 2,000.00 I TOTAL COST , $ 100,000.00 In would be our opinion that the Town should pursue the second option using the Insituform method and authorize the preparation of the appropriate Map, Plan and Report.
