<br />
<br /> "In February 1992, you authorized the use of $390,000 in
<br />capital improvement funds left over from the Churchland High
<br />School demolition project for on§oing improvements to the
<br />Brighton/South Portsmouth area. ~Bid~ w~re received on August
<br />5, 1992 for Phase II of these improvements.~ This project phase
<br />includes upgrading water and sewer utilities; installation of
<br />stormwater drainage, sidewalks, curbs and gutters; and road
<br />widening. The project area encompasses Lindsay Avenue between
<br />Oak Street and its western terminus as well as Beech Street
<br />between Marshall Avenue and Lindsay Avenue.
<br />
<br /> The bids were competitive and favorable with today's
<br />construction market (see Attachment No. 1). The total
<br />anticipated project costs are calculated as follows:
<br />
<br />Construction Contract (Rea Construction Co.)
<br />Public Utilities
<br />Traffic Engineering
<br />Contract Administration and Inspection
<br />Contingencies
<br />Phase III Design and Future Construction
<br />
<br />$239,116.50
<br />$ 5,000.00
<br />$ 1,200.00
<br />$ 35,850.00
<br />$ 30,333.50
<br />$167,545.00
<br />
<br />TOTAL ANTICIPATED PROJECT COST
<br />MINUS PRIOR APPROPRIATIONS (Public Utility
<br /> Capital Improvements Fund)
<br />
<br />$479,045.00
<br />$ 42,045.00
<br />
<br />TOTAL ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION REQUIRED
<br />
<br />$437,000.00
<br />
<br /> The Director of Public Works recommends that a contract be
<br />awarded the low bidder, Rea Construction Company, in the amount
<br />of $239,116.50 and requests an appropriation in the amount of
<br />$437,000. I, therefore, concur and ~ecommend award of the
<br />contract to the low bidder and appropriation of $390,000 from
<br />the Capital Improvements Fund and $47,000 from the Public
<br />Utility Capital Improvements Fund.
<br />
<br /> In accordance with your direction to have two readings on
<br />appropriations, I recommend your deferral of this item until
<br />the meeting of September 8, 1992. With your approval of this
<br />item, the balance in the Capital Improvements Fund will be
<br />$4,178,039 and the balance in the Public Utility Capital
<br />Improvements Fund will be $7,305,395."
<br />
