A formal bid opening was held on July 27, 2004, with a total of seven (7) bids received. The <br />low bid of $187,996.57 was received from American Civil Constructors, and all bid documents <br />were found to be in order. The Engineer's estimated cost of this work was $160,000. <br /> <br />On August 6, 2004, the construction contract was awarded to the Contractor by the City <br />Manager, so that work on this project could begin immediately and conclude before the <br />Thanksgiving holiday. The City Council subsequently ratified the contract, and construction <br />began on August 16, 2004. The Contractor pursued the work diligently - completing all of the <br />construction prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. <br /> <br />BUDGET <br /> <br />Funding for the project is from the FY 2000-01 Park Renovation CIP, Number 017043, in the <br />amount of $318,942. The original contract amount was $187,996.57. Four (4) contract change <br />orders were issued, totaling $48,223. The largest of these change orders was issued for the <br />boring and installation of new underground sleeves in eight (8) different locations throughout <br />the project site, in order to interconnect the various landscaped areas. This change will allow for <br />control and scheduling of the roadway irrigation from the City's Central Irrigation Control <br />System. The total adjusted contract amount is $236,219.57. The unused funds will be returned <br />to the Parks Renovation Fund for use in other park or street landscaping projects. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />As these areas were already landscaped, completion of these improvements is not expected to <br />increase park maintenance costs. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Community Services <br /> <br />Susan Rossi <br />Director of Finance <br /> <br />Nelson Fialho <br />City Manager <br /> <br />SR 05:072 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
