To encourage contractor competition and flexibility in awarding contracts, the project <br />was bid as both a single prime and a multi prime project. Also on December 14, construction <br />bids were opened for the water and sewer installation. This aspect of work was bid <br />separately to entice participation from the specialized contractors who perform this type of <br />work and to identify costs associated with its installation. <br />After the construction bids were opened, the total project budget was updated. The final <br />projected budget for the single grime contract was $23,913,622. This was $1.9 million <br />(8.9%) more than anticipated. While the single prime low bid cost was used for the <br />anticipated construction cost of the.budget update, the bids from the low multi prime contract <br />were.only $21,823 higher. <br />Macintosh HD:Documents:J'anuary 2007:Elementary #10 vl.doc
