Bruno - Design Contractor RB:kj g:\grpdata\cons1\bo\2001\2-february\27-r4hp-pcc.doc SUBJECT: APPROVAL of Contract Contingency Fund Increase for the State Route 4 Highway Planting Project DATE: February 27, 2001 PAGE: 2 of 2 Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: Extensive repairs had to be made to existing CALTRANS facilities before this contract's items could be completed. The cost of repairs depleted the contingency fund. During the three-year maintenance period, it is estimated that this project will incur further costs not related to plant establishment or maintenance. For this reason, the contingency fund must be re-established to pay the contractor if circumstances require immediate repairs and/or work not covered under normal maintenance. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: Without approval, the contractor will not receive payment for work done.
