City of Centerville Page 2 TE Trail Grant 7/29/10 Value Engineering While some materials may be preferable; others may still be acceptable. We have looked at ways to trim costs by using less costly materials. These material substitutions are shown below: Item Substitute Unit Qty.

They were: 1— Kiosk, 2 — Boulevard Lights, 3 — Boulevard Trees, 4 — Pergola. The low bidder's total on these items was around $65,000. With these altemates off the bid, the total base bid was still around $1.3 Million; well over the budgeted amount of around $1.0 M. The idea behind adding additional alternates would be to have enough value in the alternates to allow the City to make an award of the base bid, even if prices came back around the same overall. The proposed alternates are as listed below. We estimate that these items would be enough to have the base bid come in around the budgeted amount of $1.0 M if bid prices came in the same as the first bid. Alt. 1 Park Amenities (Bike Racks, Drinking Fount., Sprinkler Syst., Trash Rcptcl., Benches) Alt. 2 Alternate Kiosk Location (See attached sketch) Alt. 3 Fountain Alt. 4 North Park (bump out w /Benches), Boulevard Lights & Trees on CSAH 14 Alt. 5 Pergola The alternates are in reverse order of importance. In other words, Alternate 5 would be the first to be cut from the budget; Alternate 1, would be the last.
