Town approves $195,000 GIS storm-sewer mapping contract to meet NYSDEC requirements
Summary
The Town Board approved a $195,000 budget transfer and awarded MJ Engineering a contract to inventory approximately 2,000 catch basins and prepare GIS storm-sewer mapping required under NYSDEC MS4 permit rules.
The Town of Newburgh on April 13 approved a $195,000 budget transfer and awarded MJ Engineering a contract to perform GIS storm-sewer mapping needed for NYSDEC MS4 compliance.
Town Engineer Patrick J. Hines told the board the work is required under NYSDEC General Permit 0-24-001, which calls for comprehensive mapping of stormwater systems and tributary areas. Hines said the proposal covers field data collection and inventorying about 2,000 catch basin structures, work that the Highway Department confirmed based on its cleaning records. MJ Engineering’s proposal totals $195,000 and would integrate water, sewer and subdivision mapping into the town’s cloud-hosted GIS database.
The board approved a transfer from D.9902.5900 (Highway Interfund Transfer) to H8122.5200 (Storm Drainage Mapping) in the amount of $195,000 and voted to award the GIS data acquisition, field inventory, inspection and map-preparation contract to MJ Engineering by roll-call vote, 5–0.
The transcript and meeting materials do not specify a project schedule or contract start date; the engineer noted the work is required to maintain compliance with NYSDEC regulations. The board did not discuss alternate vendors at the meeting.
