| |
Fiscal Impact |
The total overall estimated cost of this project, including construction and contingencies is $322,000.00, 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. |
