Amend the Construction Contract with EBS Construction, Inc., for the Residential Street Repair and Alley Improvement Project November 5, 2019 Page 2 recommended to the current paving contractor, the City can take advantage of the paving contract's favorable unit pricing and improve upon the quality of construction. While the sewer main replacement project included its fair share of paving, staff recommends assigning those funds instead to the paving contractor, resulting in more continuity of concrete restorations. In addition, the paving required for the sewer work is more extensive than anticipated, so the City will benefit from not only more street repairs, but also improved quality of roadway work. The repairs recommended by staff are on Pomona Street from Main Street to Maple Street. The amount of sewer funds assigned to this project was calculated in accordance with a fair -share contribution to ensure that the appropriate funding source is used to pay for its corresponding associated repairs.
