INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of the plans,
specifications, form of contract, and estimated cost for the Town Clock Renovation
Project.
DISCUSSION
The FY 2007 CIP budget contains $195,250 and the FY 2009 CIP budget contains
$200,000 for phase I of the Town Clock renovation project. Phase II of the renovation
will be completed in seven years when the clock will need repainting. The architect's
estimate for this project is $365,000.
Renovation of the Town Clock will include applying an E.I.F.S. finish to the pedestal
base of the clock, replacing the electrical system and interior lighting, repairing the
exterior of the clock, and painting the clock.
This project was bid last summer for fall and spring construction to avoid conflicting with
the many events held each year around the Town Clock. Low bid at that time was
$375,100. All bids were rejected and additional funding requested in the FY 2009
budget.
We are bidding the project now to allow construction over the summer, thinking that will
lower the price. Arrangements are being made to minimize conflict with events so none
of them will have to relocate. More time is being given for construction during good
weather.
