(Any questions are due on September 20, 2023 at 3:00 pm.) If you have any questions and need further information or clarification, please contact Suzette Lopane at Westchester County Planning Department (914) 995-2443. Project Site Description Hilltop Hanover Farm was acquired by Westchester County in 2003 to be used as an environmental center. The property consists of 57 acres of farmland and 123 acres of forested land. In the past, this site was a working farm. Four wells exist on the site, see Figure 1 for additional information. Scope of Work The intent of this work is to provide stable and consistent irrigation for the existing farm fields and the current proposed expansion of those fields. The current field size is 10 acres with a planned expansion of 1 acre. The intent is to provide a system that can supply irrigation at a rate of 27,000gpd for current uses and up to 36,000gpd for the expansion. All possible solutions should be considered in the analysis phase of the project, including any upgrades needed for underutilized wells, drilling existing wells to a deeper depth, and any electrical and water piping infrastructure needed. The existing irrigation booster pump and housing should be upgraded to handle the proposed expansion. The current electrical conduit to the recently replaced booster pump is substandard. In addition, the booster pump should have protection from weather; a small shed or other minimal structure should be considered. The irrigation tanks should be upgraded with a wireless communication system.
