TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

SUBJECT: Fire Station #4 Driveway and Sidewalk Replacement Project
DATE: December 28, 2015
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending acceptance of the construction contract
for the Fire Station #4 Driveway and Sidewalk Replacement Project, as completed by
Midwest Concrete Inc., in the final contract amount of $23,670.08, which was $7,037.98
over the contract award.
The driveway was replaced at the same elevation as existed, however with the L512
Rosenbauer, 102' articulating platform truck now at this station had difficulty exiting
without twisting the chassis. Therefore, the added construction costs were due to a
portion of the driveway, walk and approach being replaced and lowered to alleviate any
additional wear and stress on the equipment.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
