AWARD OF BID – Pocantico Lake Water Main Repair
Upon motion by Trustee Capasso, seconded by Deputy Mayor Venditti, the Board voted unanimously to approve the following resolution:
WHEREAS the aftereffects of Hurricane Irene caused a section of the Pocantico Lake Water Main (a/k/a the “1888 Water Transmission Main”) to be severed at the Pocantico River Bed and thereby disrupting a vital water source for the VBM and its outside water consumers; and,
WHEREAS the Pocantico Lake Water Main was the primary, now the backup transmission main for VBM’s Catskill water source and is to be a backflow line to provide emergency water supply to both the Villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow; and
WHEREAS the VBM received 11 bids for the emergency repair and/or partial replacement of that section of the Pocantico Lake Water Main damaged by Hurricane Irene; and
WHEREAS upon review of the bids by VBM staff and consultants, it was determined that the lowest bidder is also the lowest responsible and qualified bidder; and
WHEREAS the VBM has determined that the emergency repair and/or partial replacement of the main is a Type II Action for State Environmental Quality Review Act purposes under NYCRR Title~6, §617.5(c)(1), (2), (11), &/or (33)
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved that the bid for the Pocantico Lake Water Main Repair (VM-1112-6) is hereby awarded to Joken Development Corp. as the lowest responsible bidder per their proposal of $201,850 and that such costs shall be funded from available funds in the VBM’s Water Fund and otherwise offset by available funding previously applied for by the VBM through FEMA and/or SEMO; and
