The developer was not able to complete the total proposed length of water or force main due to a conflict with the King's Highway Phase 2 Project All work associated with the portion constructed is now complete and the Department of Environmental Protection has issued clearance to begin connecting customers. The Department of Utility Services is now prepared to make final payment to the Developer for the portion completed to date. ANALYSIS The developer has constructed 4,000 linear feet (80%) of the water main and 3,500 linear feet (70%) of the force main. The original contract price for this portion of construction is $454,478.27. The developer incurred $14,687.50 in additional costs as a result of a Public Works requirement to provide lateral feeds for two other subdivisions along the utility routing (see attached letter from John Haley dated May 29, 2002), resulting in a revised contract amount of $469,165.77, or 3.23%. The adjusted contract amount of $469,165.77 is still likely to be more than $100,000.00 under the original estimated project amount of $741,500.25. The developer was previously paid $350,511.66 for work performed per date. Utilities staff is now requesting final payment in the amount of $15,182.35 to complete the County's $469,165.77 obligation to the developer.
