Including engineering and inspections, the total cost of the additional repairs is $105,482.50, which is $63,782.50 more than the approved contingency. Items 1 and 4 can be completed without additional Council action because they can be covered by the existing contingency. However,items 2 and 3 will cause the project to exceed the approved cost and contingency. If the repairs for items 3 are delayed to 2009, AJS states that the cost would increase by $2,500. TheCity’s buildingofficial, Dave Scherbel, and the project engineer from WJE, Brian Pashina, will be in attendance to discuss the reason, cost, timing, pros, and cons of the additional repairs. Mr. Scherbel is reviewing the project to determine if other options are available that may help lower the cost. Finally,this project is sensitive to the weather, and the contractor has expressed concern regarding the application of a cleaning agent on the masonry once the area has been completed. In order for the product to work correctly, the surface temperature needs to be above 50 degrees. If the repairs described in items 2 and 3 are to move forward in 2008, approval is needed as soon as possible to ensure that work can be completed before the weather changes.
