However, this may not <br />represent that great of a savings. Having limited labor resources may also be an <br />issue. The demolition would most likely occur in late winter/early spring. This is <br />when other, perhaps more critical, activities such as spring park duties, street <br />repair, street sweeping, and boulevard repairs occur. <br /> <br />Review Bid Items <br />The Commission requested a list of line items associated with this project from <br />the low bidder. Unicorp, Incorporated submitted a list they used to develop their <br />bid. This list is attached for the City Council’s review. There were no items that <br />were easily identifiable that could be reduced or eliminated to save costs. <br /> <br />Identify Fixed Costs <br />The Commission was concerned as to how the project was presented to the City <br />Council on July 25, 2005. A list of all project related costs was presented. These <br />costs totaled $330,300. The Commission suggested that a more equitable way to <br />view the cost is to identify fixed costs and remove them from consideration –
