CHANGE ORDER OR ALLOCATING FUNDS TO BROADBAND
April 7, 2021
Ken,
In regards to this memo in the packet, the total project budget was $895,000 per original approvals
versus the $845,000 in the memo. ($845,000 was for the 220th and then City added $50,000 for the area
on Layton Ave N – attached Authorization Council Memo from October 2020).
Thus if we added $125,000 to fix Pomroy and taking out costs for permits, engineering, surveying,
construction inspection, and materials testing; we conservatively estimate we would only have $21,000 -
$31,000 remaining budget from the $895,000, thus there wouldn’t be the amount of $50,000 - $75,000
cost savings to be transferred to the internet expansion, but more closer to the $21K - $31K.
By State statue we could have added up to $150,000 (25%) of bid award, but left the $21K - $31K
cushion in the even we run into bad soils and need to do additional subgrade excavation.
Thanks,
Ryan J Goodman P.E.
