INFORMATION: Town Staff have received the 100% construction drawings and final engineer’s estimate of costs for the Roberts St. Improvement Project. The final engineer’s estimate is higher than the current capital project budget. This is due in part to the addition of curb and gutter which was added as a result of community feedback and stormwater concerns. Staff have held two neighborhood meetings and have received resident buy-in on the 100% design. The project is slated to be advertised for bid on 1/31/2021 with construction beginning as soon as March 2021.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The fiscal impact is a reduction in the General Fund by $30,000 and Stormwater reserves by $50,000. There is no staff impact associated with this request.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Council approve the attached revised Capital Project Ordinance.
