WHEREAS, on March 16, 2026, the City Council adopted City Resolution No. 2026-022 approving a construction agreement with QA Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $1,285,113.40 and established a contingency in the amount of $128,000 for Street Rehabilitation Project (2025-2026)(CIP 301-726); and
WHEREAS, the base bid total was significantly lower than the engineer’s estimate and due to these favorable unit bid prices, and the City exercised the option to award both the base bid amount and bid alternate 1; and
WHEREAS, the favorable unit bid prices resulted in available budget capacity within the project; and
WHEREAS, staff evaluated opportunities to maximize the value of the project by incorporating additional roadway improvements while utilizing the Contractor’s competitively bid unit prices; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends increasing the construction contingency by $175,000 to offset the costs of the proposed additional scope, allowing the project to utilize the available budget capacity while preserving the construction contingency for its intended purpose of addressing unforeseen conditions encountered during construction in a timely manner; and
