An allowance is an amount specified in the construction contract or specifications for a certain item(s) of work when details are not determined at the time of bidding.  Item 3 Water & Wastewater Commission: July 15, 2026 Council: July 23, 2026 Due to the potential for encountering unknown subsurface conditions, a 10% contingency in funding has been included to allow for the expeditious processing of any change orders to cover any unforeseen construction costs associated with the project. The project will require various lane closures to facilitate progress. An approved traffic control plan will be used to minimize the inconvenience to neighborhood residents. The contractor will work to ensure that residents always have access to their driveways. If access cannot be maintained, written notice of limited access will be provided to the affected property owner(s) at least 24 hours in advance. In addition, there will be planned temporary water and wastewater service interruptions, primarily during pipeline tie-in and service reconnections. Residents will be notified at least 48 hours in advance of planned service interruptions. This construction contract is time-sensitive and a critical component of improving the infrastructure stability of the wastewater collection and water distribution systems. Delay or deferral of this contract will require additional time and cost for City construction crews to conduct maintenance and repairs. The contract allows 380 calendar days for completion of this project.
