Y COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum NO. 2006 - 09 January 27, 2006 TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Gar ., City Manager Stephen Sw nson, P. E., Director of Engineering & Infrastructure Matthew C. Newell, P. E., City Engineer�� SUBJECT: Annual Brick Street Restoration Project Cost Increase City Project OS-15 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving an increase to the contract amount with Otto Baum Co., Inc., for Annual Brick Street Restoration, City Project OS-15. The resolution authorizes the Mayor to increase the existing $204,240.35 contract amount by$10,178.48 for a maximum of$214,418.83 for the work that was necessary to complete the project, and the City Clerk to attest. BACKGROUND: On August 1, 2005, the City Council authorized a$204,240.35 contract with Otto Baum Co. Inc., to restore various brick streets in the near west section of the City. The work on this project was substantially completed in November, 2005. The fragile nature of the bricks and nearby curb and gutter sections required additional quantities to be used in order to complete the work thereby causing an increased project cost of just over $10,000 to be incurred. The additional quantities required to complete the project were not anticipated, were consistent with the project, and in the best interests of the City. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None
