16 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors allocated $210,000 in the
17 18th Year Community Development Block Grant Program for drainage
18 improvements and simultaneous street reconstruction for Gillam
19 Park Road extending approximately 1,000 linear feet south of
20 Highway 365 in Granite Mountain; and
21 WHEREAS, the City submitted competitive bids to provide
construction for this Gillam Park Road project; and
22
WHEREAS, the low bidder in this competitive bidding process
23
was slightly more than $67,000 over the planning estimate due
24
largely to the expense of excavating rock for the necessary
25
underground drainage pipes; and
26
WHEREAS, the transfer of funds and maximum contract figure
27
would allow for award of the contract with some margin for field
28
changes and contingencies and would in no way reduce or eliminate
29
other planned CDBB projects; and
30
WHEREAS, staff recommends proceeding with the project
31
because residents on the Citizen Participation Planning Committee
32
for Granite Mountain and the City Engineer affirm that the
33
drainage problem which motivated planning of the project is
34
serious and constitutes a health hazard as well as a constant
35
nuisance.
