2006 PMP 4/6/2006 Page 2 e Improvements Roadway Storm Sewer Feasibility Estimate $ 1, 100,000.00 $ 410,000.00 $ 82,000.00 $ 160,000.00 $ 12,000.00 Final Plan Estimate Sanitary Sewer Watermain Roadway Easement Acquisition Allowance $ 1,142,739.14 $ 458,524.94 $ 90,948.50 $ 220,055.84 $ 0.00 TOTAL $ 1,764,000.00 $ 1,918,168.42 (plus drainage easements) There are several factors resulting in an overall increase (approximately 9%) in costs. The feasibility estimate was prepared in August, 2005, and reflects 2005 construction prices. Construction prices have since continued to increase due to higher fuel and energy costs. The complexity of the neighborhood, with the significant variation in grade, has also resulted in increased costs during final design to better match into existing ground slopes and driveways. Some retaining wall costs were included in the feasibility report as optional costs, but were not included in the baseline improvements. During final design it was apparent that even the optional e retaining wall costs listed in the feasibility report were underestimated. The following items were not included in the feasibility report estimates and are also contributing factors to the increase in the estimate: water service improvements from the watemlain to the curb stop; slightly extended limits of the watermain replacement; the proposed ponding area by Lift Station #3. Easements Staffis in the process of working with the City Attomey and affected properties to obtain the drainage and utility easements needed for this project. The plans reflect proposed improvements based on the acquisition of the easements. If agreements cannot be reached with affected property owners on the casement acquisition, plans will be modified accordingly to account for a design change. CONCLUSION In order to capture a market for competitive bid prices and keep the project on a timely schedule, these plans should be advertised in April. Bids would be opened in early May and, if accepted by Council, awarded in late Mayor early June. Construction would then likely begin sometime in June. If a delay would occur in approving plans and authorizing advertisement for bids, this would delay the entire schedule, which could potentially delay the project to the next construction season. At this time, staff recommends adoption of Resolution 06-29: Approval of the final plans and . specifications ordering advertisement for bids for the 2006 Pavement Management Program.
