111. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Additional funding is needed to pay the contractor for increases and changes in the contract work..
The additional work was needed to modify the drainage system to avoid existing utility conflicts.
Additional work was also needed due to grade differences and for subdrains in the planting areas.
Other additional work that was required included modifications to the photoelectric streetlight
controls,striping removal,welding anchor bolts to prevent bench and trash enclosure theft,and the
modification (credit) of the irrigation and planting systems. The additional work costs exceed the
project contingency fund. Approval of the project contingency fund is required to compensate the
contractor for the additional work.
1V. Consequences of Negative Action:
The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and preclude payment to
the contractor for required work.
