MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING : '3 MARCf~ 22 , 1978 Page 4 Councilman Steele questioned why there was so much COUNCILMAN more on sidewalk construction. STEELE There were several carriage walks put in and several ENGINEER replace d, not originally included in the project and LEMBERG the corner at the end of the street at Pascal, both corners, sidewalks were put in. The additional carriage walkways were requested by the homeowners making an over run. In other words, the homeowner, when re- questing the additional carriage walk is really in- creasing costs and should be informed of this. In some cases we had to replace them because of the grades, but in most cases, the carriage walks were placed at the request of the homeowner, because of broken up sidewalks, or misalignments, a couple of them were low, they were replaced at their request. They would not have been replaced normally? COUNCILMAN STEELE No, they would not have under the contract. ENGINEER LEMBERG So the homeowner is asking this to be done? At the COUNCILMAN same time, was the homeowner told this would cost STEELE extra? This was discussed at the time with Clerk Administrator ENGINEER Barnes and the contractor and in addition to that, LEMBERG there was one large driveway that was totally replaced, our normal driveways out here have been carried back 3' from the curb, this was carried all the way back to the lot line rather than putting in a bituminous narrow strip. There was quite an overage of bituminous than what COUNCILMAN was estimated. STEELE There was an overage of 25 tons, approx. two truck ENGINEER loads. This again was something Mr. Barnes and I LEMBERG discussed, on the east end of the project, there had been for many years, water standing at that inter- section, a Swale was installed to carry the water around the intersection. You have a difference of $4.33 from the estimated GEORGE KILGORE assessment cost. 1494 Idaho We are talking construction costs, not overall costs, ENGINEER engineering, et<:, `r1_e scd estimate is under, side- LEMBERG - walk is over. I can't estimate bituminous down to two ANSWERS TO loads, I don't think anyone can. Because if there is AUDIENCE a 2" difference in street grade, you can use up two QUESTIONS loads very easily. These are estimated quanties.
