Bids were received and opened this day, total of ten (10), on
Sucich Place Storm Sewer Improvements. The Bid Results were
received from the Engineer and he recommended that the bid be
awarded to Lee Archer as low bidder in the amount of $53,589.00
(amount calculated by Engineer). There was a discrepancy between
the figure submitted and the one calculated by the Engineer, however,
it still represented the lowest bid and will be reviewed prior to
signing the contract.
Mr. Valdati moved to award the bid to Lee Archer, Inc. as low bidder
for the Sucich Place Storm Sewer Improvements Contract, as recommended
by the Engineer to the Town.
Seconded by Mrs. Visconti
Motion Unanimously Carried
A temporary Easement Agreement with Jerome Cauda, Ketchamtown Road
for a storm sewer project required an extension from September 1990
to July 1991 for completion of this work; the Attorney needed authoriza-
tion to finalize said Agreement.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to authorize the Attorney to the Town to proceed
with the required legal preparations to finalize the Easement Agreement
between Jerome C4uda and the Town of Wappinger.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
The last item on the Agenda was for the Town Board to consider the
contract for the Highway Radios. Mrs. Visconti commended the Highway
Superintendent for his initiative in having the Lease Agreement reviewed
which resulted in a cost saving of nearly $1,000 a month.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to approve the contract with New York Communications
Company, Inc. as presented, and authorize the Highway Superintendent to
sign said contract.
Seconded by Mr. Fanuele
Motion Unanimously Carried
There was no other business to come before the Board.
MRS. VISCONTI moved to close the Special Meeting, seconded by Mr.
Fanuele and unanimously carried.
