MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 17, 1997
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E.
City Engineer/Utilitie• Director
SUBJECT: Timber Ridge Trail Extension
In February of this year the Sawmill Homeowner's Association conveyed two tracts of land in
the Sawmill subdivision to the City.
The City agreed to construct certain road improvements within the limits of one of the tracts to
provide an adjacent parcel of land with access to Timber Ridge Trail. The City agreed to have
this work completed within 180 days of the date of the conveyance. Immediately after the
conveyance we began work on survey and design. We estimated that the construction cost of the
improvements would be approximately $7,000.00. We solicited bids from the six firms currently
under continuing contracts for horizontal construction, and received bids from two of those
firms. The higher of the two bids is $23,746.35 and the low bid is $17,999.00.
The project is very small as road construction jobs go, and the economies of scale that a
contractor normally realizes are not available on this job. This fact, coupled with our need for a
quick completion caused the per foot price to more than double from what we expected.
I recommend that the City Commission authorize the transfer of$11,000.00 from General Fund
Contingency, which has a balance today of$73,185.00,to Capital Improvements to fully fund
the project, and authorize Prime Construction Group, Inc. to construct the project.
