RESOLUTION NO. 152. 99
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Richard Merrill
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, Warren County is in the process of constructing a bikeway bridge over Route
254 (Quaker Road) in the Town of Queensbury, and
WHEREAS, a sewer main owned by the Town of Queensbury is located underneath Warren
County property in the vicinity of the bridge construction and therefore Warren County has advised the
Town that the Town will have to move or protect this sewer main, and
WHEREAS, Town and County representatives have met to discuss options concerning the
relocation and/or protection of the Town’s sewer main, and
WHEREAS, the Town’s Wastewater Director has recommended that the Town Board choose
the option of encasing the Town’s existing sewer main with a sleeve to protect it from the additional
load of the bridge construction and to allow future repairs, and
WHEREAS, Warren County has estimated that the cost to install the sleeve will be
approximately $28,000, and
WHEREAS, Warren County has requested that the Town authorize this work and then
Warren County will pay the contractor and bill the Town of Queensbury for the work, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board concurs with the Wastewater Director’s recommendation to
authorize this work as this solution will allow the Town to protect its sewer main, maintain service to
all customers during the entire project and make any necessary repairs without affecting the new
bridge,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby authorizes and directs
Warren County to authorize its contractor to encase the Town’s sewer main with a sleeve to protect it
from the additional load of the new bikeway bridge to be constructed over Route 254 (Quaker Road)
in the Town of Queensbury for an amount not to exceed $28,000, to be paid by Warren County and
then reimbursed by the Town, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that payment for this work shall be made from the Town’s Sewer Department
Budget, although the Board acknowledges that it may be necessary to transfer money later in the year
from the Town’s Sewer Fund Balance to the Sewer Department Budget to cover this expense, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that Town Board further authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor and/or
Director of Wastewater to prepare and execute any documentation and take any action necessary to
effectuate the terms of this Resolution.
