DATE: March 21, 2007
SUBJECT: Macadam Winter Garden Update
ISSUE
Design changes and publicly bidding the construction of Macadam Winter Garden.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, Macadam Winter Garden was put out for public bid two times. The first time we
received no bid and the second time we received one bid that was nearly $125,000 over our
budget. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Macadam Winter Garden was
barrowed for another project in 2006. It turned out the funds were not expended. So, now the
project is back in the 2007 CIP.
The proposed time line is as follows:
April 27th Bids Due
May 8
May 14
May 21
June 1
September 30
ACTION TAKEN
Staff has worked with the project design consultant Johnson Braund Design Group, Inc.
(JDBG) to revise the construction documents. The modifications should allow the City to
obtain bids within our budget. The two major changes include eliminating the main entry
structure and all work in the wetland buffer zone.
As the above time line indicates, the project has 120 days for construction. The larger time
allowance should provide the contractor enough time to perform the work in a more cost
effective manner.
RECOMMFNDATION
No Action at this time.
