2. Road Dept-budget adjustment - Laserfiche WebLink

Concrete: The original quantity estimates had considered building the entire project with asphalt. Prior to construction, I changed two project areas to use concrete instead of asphalt. These areas were the old part of Horace and the roundabout area. This will result in a better overall value in these permanent portions of the project. At the time I decided to use concrete in these areas I also revised the asphalt mix design to use a Minnesota DOT specification that takes advantage some recycle asphalt at a cost savings. The net result of the two changes was that we could do concrete for about $100,000 more than asphalt. Right of Way Acquisition: This exceeded the May projection by about $200,000. Demolition: Earlier estimates had not accounted for demolition costs of buildings. We've had to demolish 5 grain bins, a barn, storage shed, house and garage. (Have not yet bid house and garage demo)
