YATES, CITY MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2014 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN APPROPRIATION INCREASE OF $15,000 TO PROJECT NO. Z40000 DOG PARK FENCING (McVICKER PARK) Recommendation Approve an increase of $15,000 to the project contingency appropriation and authorize the City Manager to approve all change orders up to the total project budget of $41,000. Background On September 12, 2014 the City of Lake Elsinore entered into a construction contract with Valley Cities /Gonzales Fence in the amount of $24,204 with a construction contingency of $2,420 for chain link fence construction at the existing Dog Park located at McVicker Park within the City limits. Discussion During the course of construction, the City received public comments and requests regarding the upsizing of the Dog Park proposed perimeter fencing. In response to the community feedback, staff has identified additional funds that can be used to enlarge the size of the Dog Park perimeter fencing. Requested additional funds will enable construction of an additional two hundred fifty six (256) linear feet of fencing, thereby increasing the originally proposed dog park fenced area by an approximately three thousand seven hundred forty nine (3,749) square feet. It is currently estimated that the additional labor and materials will result in change orders in the range of $12,000 to $15,000. The additional contingency is recommended to ensure the timely completion of the project.
