One stipulation of this agreement(Item#3 Project Scope,#a)is that the City provides certification that the roads that are to be paved are located within City owned rights of way.These rights of way have not previously been certified. A Request for Quotes was distributed to 4 reputable Alaskan firms. Three firms responded that they were unable to provide a quote due to their lack of manpower. Dryden&LaRue, Inc., submitted a quote for $4,435 per 1000 foot,with approximately 22,450 feet to certify,totaling$99,566. They were found to be responsive and qualified to perform this task. It is highly likely that there are encroachments and easements that will need to be addressed and permitted. For these items,Dryden&LaRue will bill us on a time and materials basis,using their 2015 Fee Schedule. The City Manager will authorize this additional work once all areas of conflict have been identified.The administration requests a contingency of 15%, or$14,935,to cover these potential additional costs.
