(See attached) He reported: • Phase II construction bids were analyzed and it was determined the project should be re -bid with reduced scope to meet capital improvement budget criteria. • Line item analysis speaking points to Staff to discuss possible reductions from low bidder. • Phase III prepared the preliminary costs for Turn Lane and Street Lighting - $569,122.50. (See attached) He distributed the following reports: • Landscape Component Breakdown • Phase II Original Opinion of Probable Cost dated October 12, 2012. • Phase III - 30% Opinion of Probable Cost Summary dated November 15, 2012. He summarized costs for Phase II and Phase III as follows: Phase 11- $910,882 includes: ➢ Sidewalk ➢ Woodshire parking modifications ➢ Street lights along the sidewalk ➢ Repairing the Turtle lake irrigation, planting and non - irrigated street tree. ➢ Extending the irrigation ➢ Landscape furnishings ➢ Estimate of general costs 2 Phase 111- $148,122 includes: ➢ Turn Lane planting and irrigation ➢ Mobilization Fee ➢ Flag Pole Project Phase II and III Total - $1,055,500 Dick Barry read a statement he prepared aloud. "Over the past few years 1 have seen contracts awarded by the MSTU, only to have the contractors come back for more money because of unforeseen complications. 1 have questioned these extra expenses and been told by the MSTU Staff and some Board Members that this is usual practice or no contractors would bid on Collier County projects. After learning there is a money shortage for the remaining phases of our project, 1 feel the $692, 000 bid for landscaping to be excessive and unnecessary. There are already 25 large trees in place that will not interfere with the sidewalk and also many plantings by the road that the sidewalk can go behind. There are also 9 driveways and streets in this short span. The area is already irrigated and looks like it needs no improvements other than the sidewalk and lighting." George Fogg noted the $692,000 cost was stated incorrectly. Dick Barry motioned to re- submit bids to the contractors for just the sidewalk with lighting and repair /replacement of grass damaged by the construction. Second by Kenneth Bloom. Discussion was ensued on oversight costs versus Consultant time versus General Contractor versus Staff time and possible savings. Staff noted the oversight would still be a factor. WSI recommended having a general contractor manage the project. Kenneth Bloom moved to add Phase -3 Turn Lane as alternate. Dick Barry agreed to modify the original motion to add "Phase -3 turn lane as an alternate." Second by Kenneth Bloom. Discussion continued on costs and adding alternates and having the alternates bid separately. George Fogg moved to add "Woodshire landscaping as an alternate" to the original motion. Dick Barry agreed to amend motion to include "Woodshire landscaping as an alternate" to the original motion. Second by Kenneth Bloom. Motion carried unanimously, 5 -0.
