occurring. This is based upon his experience with repaving part of the street near the shelter in August <br /> several years ago and finding a significant amount of water in the area, despite summer weather. My <br /> suggestion for this project is that we identify significant additional funding prior to rebidding the <br /> project, and then rebid it in late winter or early spring for mid summer construction. The funding we <br /> identify should include enough money to cover any sort of contingency items we come across during <br /> construction. Atypical construction contingency would be about 15 %-20 % of the estimated bid price. <br /> One potential funding source we could consider would be neighborhood matching grant. <br /> j I'm sorry to be the bearer of such discouraging news. I will be happy to work to get this project bid <br /> again at a later date, however, I would like to encourage everyone involved to take the funding <br /> discrepancies seriously and at face value. If we learned anything through this process, I think it is that <br /> if we want a quality project, we must find additional funding. Please feel free to call me if you have <br /> any questions or further comments you would like to share.
