(I think this is the reality of late season bidding...) <br /> Removing the alternates, it looks like the low base bid is $265,048.10. Our overall budget is <br /> $300,000 and we have $81,000 in soft costs. This puts us about $45,000 over budget, which is a lot. <br /> The rough breakdown on soft costs is as follows: <br /> Contingency: $20,000 <br /> Permits: $7,500 <br /> Advertising and Admin.: $1,060 <br /> Consultant work $9,825 <br /> Playground Equip. $2,500 <br /> Park sign: $5,000 <br /> EWEB: $2,000 <br /> 1 % for Art holdout $3,000 <br /> Art Allowance: $1,000 <br /> Testing: $1,500 <br /> Native Seed: $500 <br /> PSF to date: $11,000 <br /> PSF to finish: 16 000 <br /> $80,885 <br /> I can send you the bid tabulations for additional information. <br /> We can go a couple of ways, as I see it. <br /> 1) We can find more money <br /> 2) We can negotiate with the contractor to value engineer the project down, but this will take <br /> time, which we don't have a lot of. <br /> I'm so sorry for the bad news. I thought we might be a little over before we went to bid, but not this <br /> much. <br /> Let me know what you'd like to do and if Andrea can find any more money. <br /> Thanks - <br /> Emily Proudfoot, ASL.A <br /> Landscape Architect, City of Eugene <br /> Public Works, Engineering <br /> 858 Pearl Street <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> 541-682-6019 <br /> emily. a. proudfoot@ci. eugene. or. us <br /> <br /> 8/30/2004 <br /> <br />
