We have reviewed the contract documents and have determined that the affirmative action program of Golden Bay Construction, Inc. is in accordance with the current Affirmative Action 12 Guidelines. | ||||||
Vision Alignment | ||||||
We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment to be a "responsive, effective and collaborative government" and Goal Number 20 "government decisions are based on careful consideration of future impact, rather than temporary relief or immediate gain," as the project complies with the direction given by your Board which provides for the current needs of the community as well as providing improvements that can be integrated into the redevelopment of the adjacent properties. | ||||||
Fiscal Impact | ||||||
The total estimated cost of construction and contingencies is $484,400, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency (approximately $44,000) as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., ton of asphalt placed, cubic yard of concrete, etc.). The contingency is used to pay the contractor for any additional material placed for the various bid items as the actual quantity used depends on the unit weights of the material and the actual limits of the as constructed project. Road funds will be used to finance road paving and striping work and Half Cent Transportation funds will be used to finance the remainder of the project. | ||||||
There is no impact to the General Fund. | ||||||
A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. | ||||||
