Fiscal Impact | ||||||
The total estimated cost of construction and contingencies is $301,000, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., square yard of cape seal and pavement repair, etc.). The contingency is used to pay the contractor for any additional cape seal or pavement repair areas that may be required at the time of construction. | ||||||
Funds have been appropriated in the Road Fund to finance this work. There is no impact to the General Fund. | ||||||
A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. | ||||||
