IDAHO AVENUE CURB ~ GUTTER ASSESSMENT HEARING Engineer Brad Lemberg reported the project was completed ENGR. LEMBERG in the fall of 1977 and that the project was broken into four separate parts, of which Idaho Avenue was one section. Just to go over the quantities used on this project, bituminus removal was estimated at 344 sq. yds, 500 sq. yds actual used, concrete curb removal est. at 260 ft., actual use 283.5 ft., 100 gal. protective coat, actual use 70 gal.,. concrete sidewalk est. based on the surveys, 240 ft., actual use 699 ft., concrete curb and gutter, 1,250 est., actual 1,270 ft. Sodding in place, 540 sq. yds. est., 486.33 actual. The final construction cost of the pro- ject was $11,886.85. The quantity difference is $892.61 over the previous estimate. There were numerous problems on the project, such as the contractor started excavating blacktop all the way across the street, as soon as it was noted, they were stopped. However, by that time they had excavated most of the street and they were immediati-ly in- formed they would replace that at their own expense. A couple other problems did occur on the project, curbing at the southwest corner of Pascal and Idaho was placed incorrectly twice by the contractor and twice removed by the contractor at his cost. There were some changes re- quested by the residents, additional sidewalk and additional carriage walks that were put in as part of the project accounting for the over run on the sidewalk quantities. The project is now completed and the final estimate has been paid to the contractor, C.S. McCrossan.
