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 the public safety of all residents and visitors," as it will improve the condition of the surface of the roads for the benefit of the residents as well as motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
The total estimated cost of this project including construction and contingencies is $156,000, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., ton of asphalt concrete 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 pavement placed. The project is proposed to be financed as follows: |
| |
| |
County Road Fund |
$ 149,390 |
| |
Montara Sanitary District |
$ 710 |
| |
Granada Sanitary District |
$ 4,020 |
| |
Coastside County Water District |
$ 1,880 |
| |
Total Estimated Cost |
$ 156,000 |
| |
Reimbursement for the cost of doing work for the Montara Sanitary District, the Granada Sanitary District, and the Coastside County Water District will be covered by agreements executed by the Director as authorized by your Board. |
| |
Sufficient Road funds have been budgeted to finance the project. |
| |
There is no impact to the General Fund. |
| |
A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. |
