The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors receive and file the bid proposals, award the contract, authorize execution of the project agreement, and set up the capital contract account.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project is being funded by the Humboldt County Road Fund. The engineer's estimate for the construction contract is $1,899,877. Total project cost is estimated at $2,025,000. Due to budget constraints, only $500,000 can be transferred from budget line 1200321-2118 Professional & Special Services to 1200321-0335 ADA Curb Ramp Improvements in the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019. ADA Ramp construction is not expected to exceed this allocation for the remainder of the FY 18-19. The remaining $1,525,000 in construction costs will be included in FY 19-20 for Road Fund budget unit 1200321-0335 ADA Improvement Project. Therefore, this project will not impact the General Fund.
