As a result of that meeting, the following cost <br /> .. savings ($452 , 559 . 80) and scope changes can be obtained by issuance of the attached Change Order <br /> No . 1 . The resulting contract after Change Order No . 1 is $ 7 , 470 ,236 .20 . <br /> The following alternatives are presented: <br /> Alternative No. 1 — Rebid the project. In recent discussions with the FDOT District 4 office and <br /> • other entities, construction bids for road and drainage improvements throughout the State of <br /> Florida are as much as twice the amount of Engineer ' s Estimates . Since these bids were received <br /> from contractors that normally bid County work in the Treasure Coast area, staff is not confident <br /> that rebidding will be productive . <br /> FAEngineering\Capital Projects\0016 & 0236- 41st Street Improvements\0016 & 0236-BCC Agn-Award Bids 08-23-05 jwd.doc <br /> �r <br />
