SUBJECT: Consider Budget Amendment to Establish Project Number for
Repair of Street Subsidence at 3888 Painted Sky
BACKGROUND
The City was made aware of a street and driveway subsidence problem
at the subject address in the Fall on 1995. A geotechnical
engineer was retained to investigate the problem. Core tests
revealed that there was a void under the paved surface of unknown
size and that the existing subsurface soil condition was
supersaturated. The causes for these problems could not be
determined.
The City Engineer was retained to prepare a design for a project to
construct remedial repairs. Bids were solicited pursuant to the
informal bidding procedures. A City Manager approved contract was
awarded. The repair work was completed in July.
DISCUSSION
A. Budget Amendment
During the investigation of this problem, and the design and
construction of the solution, it was anticipated that the
design work would be charged to contingency funds budgeted for
engineering studies (142.641 // 801.9199) and construction
would be charged to contingency funds budgeted for contract
asphalt repairs (142.658 // 801.9191). Costs for this work
were higher than anticipated. It is requested, therefore, that
a separate project number be established for this project and
that additional funds be appropriated for FY 1996/97 Costs.
