. <br /> . R <br /> These drainage improvements were not included in the project because the preliminary <br /> estimate for the work exceeded the available budget. I <br /> Subsequently, bids were received on the project, which were much below preliminary 'I <br /> cost estimates. The bid prices are very favorable to the City and provide an opportunity � <br /> to add back into the Nickey Avenue Storm Drainage Project those drainage i <br /> improvements originally considered but not included due to budget constraints. The total <br /> cost to add these improvements back into the project is $55,000. The contractor, Barr & <br /> Robison, has indicated a willingness to accomplish the work at current bid prices. <br /> Since sufficient funding is available in the budget, staff wishes to add the work items <br /> listed above. Because this work involves underground construction with unknown <br /> conditions, staff requests that the original contingency amount of$32,217 be allowed to <br /> remain. These funds will be used only if unforeseen conditions demand it, otherwise the <br /> fund will be returned to the unobligated fund balance. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Barr & Robison Sewer and Excavating Company <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Director of Engineering & <br /> Infrastructure, at 424-2747 <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 <br /> Richard Marley will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions <br /> of the Council on this item. � <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> The addendum amount is $55,000 for a maximum contract amount of$505,000. Funds <br /> for this additional work are budgeted in the Capital Project Fund. <br /> If the addendum is approved, the major work items should be completed by the end of <br /> the year, with restoration and landscaping completed in the spring of 2008. <br /> Attach: 1 <br /> cc: John Smith, Assistant City Manager for Public Services <br /> Dick Borders, Municipal Services Manager <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer <br /> Bobby Davidson, Engineering Technician Supervisor <br /> Rex Dummermuth, Engineering Technician II <br /> Barr& Robison Sewer & Excavating Co., Inc. <br /> Page 2 <br />
