We have reviewed the contract documents and have determined the Affirmative Action Program submitted by Graniterock Co. dba Pavex Construction Division is in accordance with the current Affirmative Action Guidelines.

 

Vision Alignment

We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment to "ensure basic health and safety for all" and Goal Number 7, "maintain and enhance public safety of all residents and visitors," as it will improve the conditions of the road surface for the benefit of the public.

 

Fiscal Impact

The total overall estimated cost of this project, including construction and contingencies is $292,000, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., ton of asphalt placed, square yard of pavement repair, etc.). The contingency is used to pay the contractor for any additional material placed as the actual tonnage used depends on the unit weight of the asphalt and the tolerances for the actual thickness of the pavement placed.

 

There is no impact to the General Fund.

 

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel.
