<br />Contractor's work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship and quality, materials
<br />testing, and implementation of the labor requirements. Any of the allocated construction
<br />administration funds not spent are considered project savings and are returned to the
<br />respective fund balance upon close out of the project.
<br />As indicated in the Cost Analysis (Exhibit 4) and as summarized in the table below, the
<br />estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $1,845,898.
