The bids came in higher than the engineers estimate, some of the contracts <br /> expressed concern with the tight timeline,with substantial completion due October 24th, 2014. It is <br /> thought that the extended timeline will entice more bidders,but also allow for the acquisition of necessary <br /> permits from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, reducing delays and possible change order costs. <br /> The delay is not anticipated to negatively impact any project. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> • Staff report to City Council dated July 21, 2014 <br /> • Project manager letter dated July 15, 2014 <br /> 1111E1E1 11 <br /> Template Updated 4/14 NATURE <br />
