Edwards board OKs $15,000 engineering study after DEC rejects road pipe work
Summary
The Town of Edwards approved Barton & Loguidice for a $15,000 engineering study after the DEC did not accept pipe replacements on Ames and Campbell Roads; FEMA will cover 75% of repair costs, the town 15% and the state 10%.
Deputy Supervisor Jan Lennox announced that the DEC has not accepted the pipe replacement on Ames and Campbell Roads, prompting the board to authorize outside engineering support.
Councilor Dianne Hurley moved and Councilor Michele Robillard seconded a motion to approve Barton & Loguidice’s scope and fee for engineering services related to flood damage to Ames and Campbell Roads for $15,000.00. The motion was adopted with four aye votes (Hurley, Robillard, Webb and Lennox) and no nays.
The board recorded a funding split for future repairs: FEMA will cover 75% of repair costs, the Town 15% and the State 10%. Highway Superintendent Duane Sykes and C.E.O. Larry Atkinson were present for the discussion of next steps and timing, with the minutes noting that replacement of contact tanks is scheduled for spring.
The board did not set a specific total repair cost at the meeting and will return to the issue as engineering estimates become available.
