RECOMMENDATION:
uthorize Staff to advertise Contract
4-9 for bidding
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Amount budgeted for construction -
$105,500
Engineer's estimate - $122,000
DESCRIPTION: As part of the 1984-85 budget the City
Council allocated $107,500 for installation of landscaping
and sidewalk improvements on the west side of Village
Parkway, between Amador Valley Boulevard and Kimball Avenue,
~ adjacent to the new soundwall which is presently being
installed. Of the total budgeted, $105,500 was for the
construction of improvements and $2,500 was for inspection.
Since the adoption of the budget, the City Engineer has
prepared a more detailed estimate for the cost of
improvements which is $122,000, as part of the preparation
of plans and specifications. The increased costs are
attributable to sunken and damaged sidewalk which needs to
be replaced (approximate cost $5,000); and DSRSD and Zone 7
water connection charges (approximate cost $11,000), which
had been greatly underestimated. A total of $13,689 had
been expended during Fiscal Year 1983-84 for engineering,
bringing the total estimated project cost to $137,689.
The improvements consist of concrete sidewalk, between the
existing curb and sidewalk, with trees spaced at 34 feet,
and quarry waste aggregate placed behind the sidewalk with
vines and shrubs being planted against the new soundwall.
The landscaping will also be irrigated automatically.
Due to the holidays, it is anticipated that the bid opening
will be scheduled for the end of January.
