D | Consideration and Approval of Engineering Professional Services Contract: Coconino Estates Improvements Phase 1 Project. | ||||||
Capital Improvements Project Manager Eli Reisner displayed a vicinity map of the project and provided a brief description. Councilmember McCarthy asked if there will be project outreach to the affected community to which Mr. Reisner answered yes. Councilmember Whelan asked about why there is a 10% contingency versus the 3% that is in the Procurement Manual. Management Services Director Rick Tadder stated that the procurement for this project happened before the changes had been made to the Manual and to change the contingency at this point would open up additional negotiations and slow down the project. City Engineer Rick Barrett added that when the project gets to the construction contract there is not a contractor contingency because they were able to negotiate it to zero. |
