Finally, included in the Amendment is an acknowledgement of the option chosen by the BOCC <br />to pursue a gravity sewer outfall along Bowman Road. This option was outlined in the original <br />contract, and as such, is not an amendment. However, the information regarding the decision <br />to pursue the gravity sewer option along Bowman Road and the cost associated with this option <br />are included in the Amendment document for clarification purposes. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: This amendment will add $30,500, or roughly 15 %, to the current <br />contract price. The cost of any easement appraisals will be negotiated on a case -by -case basis <br />due to the wide variation in potential cost and would be considered a reimbursable item in <br />addition the amount above. Staff recommends an additional easement appraisal allocation of <br />$29,000 should be set aside as a budget amount for this reimbursable item. Funds have been <br />set aside in the recommended capital budget for this project which will cover the cost of <br />purchasing the easements and any permitting fees for the project. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Approve this contract amendment; <br />2. Authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of Orange County; <br />3. Authorize proceeding with the bid process concurrent with permit review; and <br />4. Authorize the Manager to sign permit applications or other documents related to <br />the permitting or bidding of this project, with bid results to be brought to the BOCC <br />for approval in Fall 2012. <br />
