Lacey, <br /> Rising prices, complex design, and the public involvement process have all contributed to <br /> the cost of the project. I am not sure where the original estimate for the $180k agreement <br /> originated, but even with significant help from Traffic Operations it is hard to have a traffic <br /> signal line item under $130k to $150K(this is just signal construction, not sidewalk or <br /> other improvements). Ours is around $90k thanks to the Traffic Operations parts <br /> donations. We will open bids on Wednesday and will be able to give you more real <br /> pricing then. <br /> Thank you, <br /> <br /> Matt Rodrigues <br /> Civil Engineer II <br /> City ol• Eugene - Eu~ineerin~ <br /> <br /> PH: 541-682-6036 <br /> <br /> FX: 541-682-8410 <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: CLARK Debbie D <br /> Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 10:08 AM <br /> To: RODRIGUES Matt J <br /> Cc: RISDAL Lacey L <br /> Subject: RE: GJN4258 26th &Hilyard <br /> Matt, <br /> Happy Monday.

Did they run into problems, <br /> higher than expected parts, more PSF than expected??? We are short on bond <br /> funding as it is, and the original agreement was only $90K. Can Matt help provide <br /> an explanation to the overage and how it relates to the portion of the project that <br /> is bond-funded? Sorry to make more work, but just trying to get some info that <br /> will help us prioritize our limited Thanks! <br /> I.,acev Risclal, .x441 <br /> Financial ~lrzalyst <br /> Public u~'orks <br /> 1~laintenance anti' Par~k;s cYt Olen Spaces <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: CLARK Debbie D <br /> Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 8:01 AM <br /> To: RISDAL Lacey L <br /> Subject: GJN4258 26th &Hilyard <br /> Importance: High <br /> Good morning. <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
