BUDGET IMPACT The estimate for the project is: Total Project Cost $119,416.42 $ 11,941.64 $ 3,940.74 $135,298.80 Construction Contract Contingency Engineering The project will be funded from a large neighborhood Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $125,874, with the remaining $9,424.80 over current funding.
