RFP-UC09-113 - SUNY ULSTER EXTENSION OF PUBLIC WATER TO CAMPUS - DESIGN AND PLAN

Summary of Specifications:
The SUNY Ulster Campus is located on Cottekill Road in the Town of Marbletown. Since its initial construction at this location, the campus has relied on bedrock wells for its water supply. SUNY Ulster is pursuing an alternative water supply at this time. In particular, the college is interested in purchasing water from the High Falls Water District, which is located approximately 2.3 miles south of the campus. 

The proposed project involves the installation of a water main from the campus to the High Falls Water District, including work through private property, Leggett Road, Lucas Turnpike, and NYS Route 213. A crossing of the Rondout Creek is also required for this water line project. Integration of the new supply into the SUNY Ulster water distribution system is also part of the scope of work. 

In order for the project to proceed, a professional engineering firm must be retained to assist in the following: SEQRA process, design report, provide a preliminary design, assist in negotiations for a water purchase agreement, provide a final design, and obtain regulatory approvals for the water system improvements.
