Dear Mr. Colsey and Town Board Members:
Supervisor Office
JUN 0 12009
Received
The following information is provided to assist the Board in adopting a resolution at the June 8st,
2009 Town Board meeting to proceed with preparation of bidding materials in regards to the work to be
performed on the abandonment of the Wappinger Park Water System. Over the years, the system had
become contaminated with salts and the well on HARK Plaza property was obtained by the Town for use
to provide higher quality water. Since then the development has been served by the expansion of the
United Wappinger Water System and therefore the existing facilities are no longer of use.
The work proposed under this contract consists mainly of the removal and disposal of the existing
water system, concrete block building, all interior control equipment and piping, underground tanks,
abandonment of the three (3) existing wells, two at the plant location and the third located at the
southeast corner of HARK Plaza, electric service, chain link fencing and restoration of the area with
seeding and mulch. As part of this contract there will be the installation of 80 lineal feet of 8" Ductile Iron
pipe to connect the two ends of the water main at the dismantled plant
The engineer's estimate for this work is $105,000.00, which includes engineering (design plans
and report for DCHD approval and bidding documents), legal, construction, inspection and contingencies.
Please call me at (914) 475-5749 (cell) or (845) 454-3411 Ext. 30 (office) to discuss this matter
prior to the meeting.
