7/10/2019 <br />Administration/Engineering <br />VIII.1 <br />Downtown Street and Utility Improvements <br />City staff is recommending a revision to the project's schedule based on feedback from contractors, our <br />consulting engineers and others with knowledge of the current bidding environment. Our initial schedule for <br />this project suggested construction of at least a portion of the project in late fall of 2019. However, it appears <br />that this schedule may not gain the interest of local contractors and could negatively affect bid prices. <br />Additionally, there are complex assessment questions that should be thoughtfully considered by the council <br />before holding a public hearing on the matter. These issues, together with development logistics associated <br />with Block 7 lead us to the conclusion that a 2020 construction project will likely be our best option. The grant <br />funding for the water services is good through the 2020 construction season. A revised proposed project <br />schedule is attached for consideration. <br />N/A <br />No formal action required. <br />Revised Schedule <br />25 <br /> <br />
