Commission authorizes $77,300 to finish stormwater engineering near library youth wing
Summary
The commission authorized Whittingham & Fradley to complete final engineering for the NE 38th St/NE 21st Ave stormwater project and approved a total expenditure of $77,300 (including a 10% contingency) to update drawings affected by the new library youth wing.
Staff reported that Whittingham & Fradley had completed roughly 90% of the construction drawings for the NE 38th Street and NE 21st Avenue stormwater project, with $32,400 spent to date. Because the library youth wing construction created design changes to the parking lot and drainage connections, staff recommended a $6,500 addendum plus a 10% contingency, bringing the total authorization to $77,300.
Commissioners asked whether the outstanding balance represented more than a 10% contingency on the remaining work; staff said the contingency is 10% of the overall project and that the funds reflect prior fiscal-year payments and a current outstanding balance of $44,900 for this fiscal year. The motion to authorize Whittingham & Fradley and approve the expenditure passed 5–0.
