Woods Construction <br />Company in an amount not to exceed $50,000. This contract covered <br />Phase I construction work under the Old Courthouse Landscaping Project <br />and additional work that could be performed within the funding <br />limitation. <br />The contractor has offered to undertake Phase II construction for <br />$23,950, a savings of $11,538 from the amount originally bid. This <br />construction work would, among other elements, include repair of the <br />Churton Street sidewalk, which was the County's second most significant <br />liability concern associated with the project. The offer is valid for <br />one week's time, at which point the contractor may withdraw it if <br />business picks up. <br />An additional appropriation of $18,852 would be needed to cover <br />construction and tree plantings included in Phase II. It is <br />recommended that these funds be advanced from the project allocation of <br />$36,000 planned for 1991 -92 in the CIP. The total planned project cost <br />at this time would not increase from the CIP total of $125,000. A <br />summary of pertinent figures is reflected below: <br />0 <br />
