IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDATION: That the Tustin Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of October 20, 1982, authorize the following supplemental appropriations for the E1Camino Real/Main. St. Improvement Project as follows: Contract Administration ..... $ 1,458.00 Construction Inspection ..... 34,181.00 Construction Contract ...... 35,000.00 BACKGROUND: In June, 1982, the Redevelopment Agency members authorized the firm of Berryman and Stephenson, Inc. to perform the construction engineering and administration services for the subject project at the following estimated costs: Task I - Contract Administration .... Task II - Construction Inspection .... Task III - Construction Survey ...... Task IV - Misc. Right-of-Way Services . . $ 5,834.00 22,781.00 33,386.00 3,840.00 $65,841.00 Task II, Construction Inspection, was initially estimated for four (4) hours per day for the consultant service, with the remainder of the time, four hours, being filled in by City staff. As the project progressed, it was determined that the project required a full-time resident inspector for eight hours per day to provide continuity to the progress of the project and to eliminate as many complaints as possible from the downtown community. City staff was and still is heavily involved with other Capital projects currently under construction, such as the Irvine Blvd. F.A.U. project which also requires a full-time staff member. Consequently, by utilizing the contractual inspection for a full eight hours per day in lieu of onl3 four hours per day, the original allocated funds have been depleted. The contractual construction inspector has been required to work several hours overtime to date, which has also depleted the available funding. This overtime was authorized to maintain progress on the project. It has been determined that an additional funding is required as follows: Task I - Contract Administration .... $ 1,458.00 Task II - Construction Inspection .... 34,181.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED SUPPLEMENT $35,600.00 SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION OCTOBER 7, 1982 PAGE TWO These are estimated amounts and could either increase or decrease depending upon the completion time of the project. At the time the construction contract was awarded, construction contingency in the amount of $60,000.00 was programmed into the project budget. To date, approximately 50% of the project has been completed and the contingency amount has been exceeded by $7,000.00±. It is estimated that an additional contingency amount of $35,000.00 will be required to complete this project. This additional appropriation would bring the estimated cost overruns on this project to a total of $95,000.00, or 7.9% of the original contract bid price. The construction cost overruns to date have been previously outlined in previous project staff reports and are available if the Agency so desires to review them. The total supplemental funds being requested are as follows: Contract Administration .... Construction Inspection .... Construction Contract .....
