January 11. 2011 Discussion: . Funding the two projects from a single project fund will allow available contingencies to be utilized on either project. As of December 13, 2010, approximately $80,000 in additional funding is needed to complete project #18307 and project #18310 has available contingencies of approximately $615,421. . Since both of these projects are replacing a seawall in an adjacent area, combining them will make use of funds already appropriated for similar work. . This administrative action will allow the seawall will be funded out of the same project. . Both the Crawford Bulkhead and the Admiral's Landing projects will be funded from the consolidated project. Financial Impact: . Reallocation of both projects to one project code will have no financial impact as this action requires no additional appropriations. Recommended Action: . Recommend approval of an ordinance to transfer all funds remaining in the CIP project Crawford Parkway Bulkhead Replacement (#18310; $615,421) to CIP Project (#18307) Seawall Reinforcement combining these two projects into to one CIP Project (#18307).
