PROJECT NO. CIP 99-529 CLARK FIELD IMPROVEMENTS,
Recommendation : It is recommended that the City Council:
Background: On January 25, 2000, City Council approved the award of the construction contract for Clark Field Building Demolition to Viking Equipment Corporation, in the amount of $8,300.00. However, during the demolition work, it was discovered that what initially appeared to be a retaining wall behind the building was a row of cement blocks without any structural value. After an extensive engineering evaluation, Staff decided that the location in question needed a retaining wall to stabilize the slope. Therefore, on July 11, 2000, City Council approved a supplemental agreement in the amount of $33,239.00 to cover the construction cost of retaining wall and backfilling to provide slope stability. The contractor has completed the work to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer.
Fiscal Impact : The project was completed under the budget of $50,000, and there was a saving of $3,051 which will be put back to the project budget. No additional appropriation is required.
