Pre-bid estimates by H. Carlos Smith Engineers and <br />Surveyors amounted to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSJL~D ($500,000). <br /> <br />MObile/Pasadena Chemical Corporation, in joint venture with BWF Contractors, <br />has proposed an experimental street project, using a by-product as base <br />material, for two (2) additional streets in the area of the street project <br />awarded to McKey Construction. The City is to prepare sub grade and apply <br />paving surface. <br /> <br />This would leave Monument Drive, a street located in the same subdivision, <br />unpaved. Because budgeted amount for contract paving equaled the engineer's <br />estimate, Monument Drive was left off the contract. <br /> <br />The City requested H. Carlos Smith Engineers and Surveyors to estimate the <br />cost of including Monument Drive in the project. Estimated cost, including <br />engineering, is FIFTY ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($51,500), using <br />unit prices bid by McKey Construction. <br /> <br />The experimental project requires the City to furnish lime stabilization of <br />subgrade. Because of rain and weather related delays, the Street Division <br />is behind in planned street construction. The City requested H. Carlos Smith <br />to contact McKey Construction regarding adding subgrade preparation of Deaf <br />Smith and Santa Anna to the Lomax Paving Project. . <br /> <br />,Because the entire construction was not requested, McKey Construction advised <br />that an additional THIRTY SIX CENTS ($0.36) per square yard of the unit price <br />bid would be required. Estimated cost to prepared subgrade for Deaf Smith <br />and Santa Anna wo~ld be TWENTY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS ($22,800). <br /> <br />Total estimated cost to add Monument to the street construction project, <br />along with subgrade preparation of Deaf Smith and Santa Anna would be <br />SEVENTY FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLJL~S ($71;,300). This would be less <br />than 20% of McKey's total bid of FOUR HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND SIX HL~DRED TEN <br />DOLLARS .~D SEVENTY THREE CENTS ($405,610.73), and would be within the <br />provisions of the contract, and within the FIVE Hm~DRED THOUSAND DOLLARS <br />($500,000) budgeted for contract street improvement. <br /> <br />H3 <br />
