Civil Engineer IV Linton reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #18- 027 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for 2018 Crackseal and Sealcoat Improvements, Improvement Project #18-04. He noted that the Public Works Committee reviewed the proposed project on January 16th and recommended approval of the plans and specifications. Councilmember Kuzma asked for additional details on the difference between the budgeted amount and engineer's estimate. Civil Engineer IV Linton replied that staff uses the bids from the previous year to provide the estimate for the next year's project. He explained that often the bids come in lower than the estimated amount and therefore there are carryover funds available in the budget. He noted that staff attempts to maximize the investment in the roads in a fiscally responsible manner. Councilmember LeTourneau asked how the assessment policy would, or would not, apply in this instance. Civil Engineer IV Linton replied that sealcoating is not an assessed item and is funded strictly through the City budget. Councilmember Riley stated that the Public Works Committee discussed this item and there was discussion on the alternatives which will provide the flexibility to reach the budgeted amounts most closely.
