Davis, P.E. REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION The road and drainage improvements to 4th Street east of Old Dixie Highway are complete. The original Project Budget based on the Engineering Departments estimate was $49,000. The Engineering estimate did not include Railroad work.

Limerock Base Asphalt Sod Sand Cement Bags for Headwalls Drainage Pipe Miscellaneous Materials, Forms for curb, etc. $ 16,586.98 10,390.00 6,216.00 15,902.60 2,003.00 1,125.00 3,778.50 Concrete, 3,874.92 59,877.00 The project cost less Railroad work is $43,290.02, therefore the actual construction cost was $5,710.00 less than the Engineering Department estimate. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING To compensate for the $10,877 project budget deficit resulting from the Railroad crossing improvement, staff recommends allocating $10,877 from the Secondary Gas Tax fund to Fund 308 - 4th Street Construction Account. This transfer will not affect the Road Improvement Program Project Schedule, since savings will be realized from other projects now in progress or recently completed.
