Mulberry Street

The City Manager submits this request to move $9,000 of funds from the Clerk-Treasurer’s operating budget to the Street Department operating budget to accommodate the funding of the mill and overlay work completed on Mulberry Street. The Street Superintendent received a proposal from B.R. Amon & Sons with three options. The city selected option 1 which was to mill bad areas 2” deep and furnish, place and compact 2” inches of hotmix asphalt in one lift with the city hauling the millings for $32, 226. The proposal is included in the packet. B.R. Amon ultimately billed the city $49,900 for the work completed which is 54% over the proposal. B.R. Amon did provide $49,900 worth of work and material. I think that staff was a little surprised that the contractor was willing to spend an additional $17,674 of city money without any notification before providing the additional work. Ultimately, with this transfer – we will be able to cover the cost. The overall budget amount will remain the same; the specific line items are being adjusted.
