i 2 2. In addition,the following items would be removed from the project a. All asphalt on roadways. Driveways and parking areas would be gravel. The 20'concrete apron at the vehicle entrances of the garage facility would remain. Credit$62,748. b. Two (2) above ground IitFs Q$10,750 each. Credit $21,500. (Note: These are not constructed as part of the building and could be easily added at a later date.) c. Electric hoist Credit$11,123. (Note: This equipment would assist in lifting items to the mezzanine level for storage,eg.tires. The function however,can be accomplished by using the bridge crane in a similar manner.) d. Sales tax was inadvertently added into the bid. Since the State reimburses for Sales Tax, it should not be considered as part of the bid price. Credit$25,609. Total credits from these sources is $391,602. While this amount of credit allows the bid to be awarded,three additional expenses must be considered as well. They include: a. The left turn lane;estimated cost$22,000; b. Construction of on-site septic system;estimated cost$15,000;and c. Project contingency. Note: The rule of thumb for contingency for a project such as this is around 5%of the construction budget,in this case around$50,000. The project requirements have been scrutinized carefully and although the budget will allow only$18,000+1-for contingency,we believe that the need for contingency funds will be minimal. The one area that remains unpredictable as it regards impact on the project contingency funds is the potential for unsuitable soils. We are requesting no additional funds for the project at this time,however,we fully acknowledge that if significant unsuitable soil is encountered,at some later date,the Board may be asked to consider reallocation of existing CIP funds in other projects to cover cost overruns. It is anticipated that the fueling station, paving and lifts will be requested as part of a future Capital Improvements Program.
