CONTACT INFORMATION: Ben Schmadeke, 919-918-7424, bschmadeke@townofcarrboro.org <mailto:bschmadeke@townofcarrboro.org>; Arche McAdoo, 919-918-7439, amcadoo@townofcarrboro.org <mailto:amcadoo@townofcarrboro.org>
INFORMATION: The Rogers Road Sidewalk Construction Budget did not have sufficient contingency to cover the costs of unforeseen site conditions and project overruns in addition to unforeseen easement acquisitions. Specifically, a conflict with a Duke Energy utility pole which resulted in a scope change and a miscalculation in asphalt quantity is forecasted to put the project over budget. The cost for these changes is approximately $100,000. Staff requests that the Board of Alderman approve the use of Sidewalk Bond Funds to pay for these additional project costs. Staff are pursuing transit funds to pay for these additional costs.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The fiscal impact is a reduction in the Sidewalk Bond Fund reserve by $100,000. There is no staff impact associated with this request.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Board approve the attached revised Capital Project Ordinance.
