Mr. Pat Klaers <br />October 12, 1995 <br />Page Two <br />In the feasibility study report, our estimated construction cost for a complete 2.20 MGD <br />expansion was $5,930,000, based on 1995 construction cost index (which was 5350). Deduct <br />the costs for miscellaneous interim improvements and the equipment deferment as follows. <br />2.20 MGD Expansion <br />$5,930,000 <br />Digester Rehabilitation <br />( 18,000) <br />Interim Improvements <br />( 914,000) <br />Equipment Deferment <br />( 300,000) <br />Building Repainting <br />( 19.000) <br />Project Cost in 1995 <br />$4,679,000 <br />Inflation (5650/5350) <br />x 1.05 <br />Project Cost in 1996 <br />$4,913,000 <br />Note: Construction cost index was 5480 in July, 1995 <br />and is projected at 5650 for July of 1996. <br />We also conducted an engineering cost estimate based on the quantity take -off from the actual <br />design. Our estimate for the construction cost is $4,720,000, including 5% contingency. <br />The following is a tentative project schedule: <br />Submit Plans and Specifications to the City <br />10 -25 -95 <br />City Council Authorize Advertisement for Bids <br />10 -30 -95 <br />Advertisement <br />11 -09 -95 <br />Bid Opening <br />12 -12 -95 <br />City Council Award Contract <br />12 -18 -95 <br />Pre - Construction Meeting/Notice to Proceed <br />01 -15 -96 <br />Construction Commence <br />04 -29 -96 <br />Substantial Completion <br />06 -27 -97 <br />Project Completion <br />07 -31 -97 <br />Recently, we received a few phone calls from Contractors expressing their interest in bidding <br />this project. At this time, many Contractors are willing to bid projects aggressively as they <br />are planning next year's work loads. We recommend the City take this opportunity to bid the <br />project by the end of this year. <br />230 /151- 1107.oct <br />
