Approve Contingency Increase for Bristol Street Water Main Replacement Project <br />November 15, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />existing contract, there is sufficient funding available to cover the $230,000 for the proposed full - <br />width paving. As a result, the City has the opportunity to resurface the entire street along the <br />entire project limits without increasing the previously approved total project delivery cost. <br />Performing the proposed resurfacing of the entire street under this contract would significantly <br />improve ride -ability, prevent deterioration, and save the City from experiencing the major costs of <br />reconstructing the street in the future. Should the improvements be deferred, the cost would be <br />much higher, since the street will rapidly deteriorate from this point forward. The cost to <br />reconstruct this section of Bristol would be in excess of $2 million. Therefore, staff recommends <br />using the project cost savings to resurface the entire street along the entire project limits. <br />As indicated in the revised Cost Analysis (Exhibit 2), the total construction delivery cost would <br />remain unchanged. The $120,000 originally allocated for contract administration, inspection, <br />testing, and construction survey staking would be reallocated to construction contingency. In <br />addition, the staff proposal would also allow the roadway striping to be completed in accordance <br />with upcoming bicycle lanes planned on Bristol Street. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & <br />Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City <br />assets), Strategy C (invest resources to extend the service life of existing infrastructure to protect <br />the City's investment and support a high quality of life standard). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are <br />exempt from further review.
