Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Additional funding is needed to pay the contractor for extra work that was not part of the original
contract. The extra work consisted of transporting and placing fill material that was necessary in
order to provide an adequate base for the path. The additional work costs exceed the project
contingency fund. Approval of the project contingency fund increase is required to compensate the
contractor for the additional work.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and preclude payment to
the contractor for required work.
