Box 324 Wappingers Falls, New York 12590 Attention: Joseph Ruggiero Reference: Engineering Services/2004 -2005 Dear Supervisor Elect Ruggiero & Board Members: Please accept this letter as a formal request from Paggi, Martin.& Del Bene, LLP, Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors, to furnish engineering and surveying services to the Town of Wappinger for the calendar years 2004 - 2005. As you know, our firm has provided the Town with these services for the last eighteen (18) years, and would very much like to continue to provide these services. We feel that we have provided the Town with excellent services over the past eighteen years and have been able to design and implement cost-effective engineering solutions to the Town 's infrastructure needs. We have focused on designing and managing projects to remain within budget and achieve the design goals. I feel that we have achieved this to a very high degree. Most recently, the significant projects that have been successfully completed and brought in under budget include the following: • Phase 3A, Wappinger Sewer Transmission/Treatment Improvement Area • Wappinger Water Improvement 99-2(R) • Connection of the Oakwood Water District to Central Wappinger Water Improvement Area • Spookhill and Martz Field Playground Improvement Projects These projects are typical of the necessary improvements that the Town has faced over the last number of years, and through innovative design techniques and personal attention to successful completion of the project, the residents are now enjoying a benefit they previously went without. We propose to continue these efforts in the future for what we feel will be a critical time in the development of the Town. Water and sewer issues, highway issues, and the large development pressures facing the Town will be in the forefront of our efforts. Supervisor Elect Ruggiero - 2 - November 19, 2003 Town Board RE: Engineering Services/2004-2005 Another area in which we feel we have given invaluable assistance to the Town is providing day to day support to the staff. at Town Hall. We feel we have done this for various offices in the Town, including the Building, Zoning, Planning, Comptrollers, and the Highway Superintendent. Our extensive knowledge of the Town has allowed us to provide backup information and quick response time to the everyday needs. I have enclosed our proposed hourly fee schedule for your review for 2004. As you can see, our rates have remained equal to the rates charged to the Town in calendar year 2003. 1 would also like to point out that we do not charge the Town for mileage, copies, (except large contracts), fax, etc. When we utilize subcontractors, there is no markup on their invoices when included in our bill. We will review our rates at the end of 2004 to see if we will be able to hold them for the calendar year 2005. 1 will inform you at that time. It has been a pleasure working with you and your administration over the past years, and we look forward to working with you and the Board Members over the next two years. If there are any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, V2 Joseph -E.- �PnrJ:'., .E. JEP:Iaw Enclosure cc: Hon. Vincent Bettina, Councilman w/enclosure Hon.
