MINUTES <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MARCH 22, 1978 <br />Page 5 <br />The estimated cost of the project at the time that it <br />was estimated on Sept. 20, 1976, was $10,400 for all <br />expenses. After that time there were requests for side- <br />walks, some requests for other items, in addition there <br />was inflation (70), all of these put together and in- <br />cluding engineering brings it to a total cost of <br />$14,700.00 in round numbers. <br />1 <br /> <br />I think the difference partially was in the cost of the <br />construction, it was estimated at approx $8,000 and it <br />came in at $11,000 plus. Estimated assessment was <br />$8.92 per front foot and came in at $12.33 per front foot. <br />Most of the problem was interference from property owners <br />to reset the grade, sidewalk and driveway replacement. <br />Engineering costs are all itemized by hour and day and on <br />record. <br />You say double staking was charged off? <br />There was a request by the residents to change the <br />grade and that was changed and was not charged; there <br />were a lot of hours that I spent out there that were <br />not charged. I can read off the hours per month for <br />every person who was on the job. <br />'CJ <br />ENGINEER <br />LEMBERG <br />MAYOR <br />WARKENTIEN <br />ENGINEER <br />LEMBERG <br />How much extra was charged for engineering time on the DAVID ANDERSON <br />present estimate verses the original estimate. In other 1512 Idaho <br />words, the original estimate was $10,400 which included <br />engineering. <br />As I mentioned before, the contract that was let was ENGINEER <br />$11,886.85 which does not include engineering, legal LEMBERG <br />or administration. This was a council decision to bid <br />the contract. <br />Why did the construction costs go so high? RAY SCHOMMER <br />1497 Idaho <br />As we stated before, the contract came in at a higher ENGINEER <br />estimated cost and the residents requested the grade to LEMBERG <br />be changed especially at Mr. Schommer's property by <br />11 inches. <br />I believe we are not taking into consideration that the MAYOR <br />contract was $1,400 over the total estimated cost back WARKENTIEN <br />in Sept. 1976. In other words, the total cost was <br />approximately $3,500 over the 1976 estimate. <br />You must remember the 1976 figure was an estimated ENGINEER <br />quantity and not based on final plans.
