The decrease in the amount of actual bid items constructed under the original bid
amount resulted from the decreased amount of square footage for removal and
construction of alley and curb and gutter. The final overall construction cost including
Change Orders was 0.1 percent under the original bid amount.
Three Change Orders in the amount of $9,115.70 were provided for pumping concrete
into two alleys with bad subgrade and overexcavation of bad subgrade in one alley.
Environmental Review:
The project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines at the time
the project was authorized by the City Council. This exemption covers the maintenance
and alteration of existing public facilities with negligible expansion of the facilities in
areas that are not environmentally sensitive. The project involved the reconstruction of
existing alleys and alley approaches and did not impact any environmental resources.
Funding Availability:
Funds for the project were expended from the following account:
