When bids were received, the <br />project came in much above that amount, and it was apparent additional funding was <br />required. <br />On August 9, 2011, the Commission approved $400,000 in additional funding, which <br />allowed the project to be awarded to the low bidder. This funding allowed the project to <br />move forward, but left no budget contingency. <br />As construction progressed, five items were discovered that need to be addressed. They <br />are: <br />• contaminated soils were found (removal cost $10,000) <br />• skim coat original wood floor to make it level ($12,000) <br />• fiber optic line to the building ($11,000) <br />• design modification requires a new water heater ($1,800) <br />• night drop off area cages ($2,240) <br />To address these items and complete the project, $43,000 in additional funding is needed. <br />This allows approximately $6,000 in additional funds in case another item is discovered. <br />Staff requests Commission approval of an additional $43,000, to complete this important <br />project for the care and control of the animal population in South Bend. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
