We have reviewed the contract documents and have determined that the Affirmative Action Program submitted by Half Moon Bay Grading and Paving, Inc. 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 condition of the road surface for the benefit of the public. | ||||||
Fiscal Impact | ||||||
The total estimated cost for construction is $182,500, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency (approximately $16,900) as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., tons of asphalt concrete placed, cubic yards of concrete installed). 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 weight and actual limits of the construction project. | ||||||
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. | ||||||
