We have done referencing checking and are prepared to,award the bid to Classic Design and Landscape, but our project <br />estimate for this portion of the work was $23,830 for this work leaving us about $9300 short on the project overall. <br />Project expenses include the contract work, direct material costs (metal end posts and brackets) and PSF staff costs. <br />These other items are within budget, which is good news. <br />Please let me know if we can find contingency or other moneys to put toward this project or if we'll need to reconsider <br />our work on this project— and thanks for your help and thoughts on this. <br />Emily <br />Emily Proudfoof, ASLA <br />Landscape Architect, City of Eugene Public Works <br />Parks and Open Space Division <br />1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br />(541) 682 -4915 <br />emiIy .a.proudfoota)ci.eugene.or,us <br />www.eugene-or.gov/parks <br />Find us on << OLE Object: Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) » <br />.. <br />
