Adding indirect costs in the amount of 23-percent brings total project costs to $276,199.19. Per the final plans and specifications, estimated construction costs were $302,770.50. After adding 23-percent for indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs, estimated project costs totaled $372,407.72. The low bid is 26-percent less than the engineer's estimate, primarily due to lower than estimated pavement removal and placement costs. In light of the favorable bid prices the City has been receiving this spring, Staff plans to present a case at the first Council meeting in June to propose an additional 2021 pavement overlay project to ensure that all of funds collected for 2021 pavement management program projects will be spent. Funding sources for these improvements includes Pavement Management Funds. No stormwater improvements are proposed with this project. • Pavement Management Funds $276,199.19 • Total Project Costs $276,199.19 Bolton & Menk proposes to provide construction staking in a total not -to -exceed amount of $4,680.
