Second, award contract to the low bidder and complete the project as designed but take into consideration the problems of the two property owners whose homes would then be 15 feet from the new right-of-way. Staff feels both of those properties could be acquired at less public expense than realignment of the road and acquisition of properties on the other side of the street. Also, something less than acquisition might be acceptable to the property owners - perhaps relo- cation of the houses on their lots or the opportunity to sell their properties after the improvements were completed. Councilman Bradley entered the meeting. Assistant Manager said the contractor is asserting the project can be finished this year. Any effort to change the time schedule - construct- ing the east end first to allow possible redesign of the alignment - would result in an increase in contract cost. Assistant Manager said it was debatable whether the contract language would allow a Change in the work schedule since it clearly provides for construction of the west end first. Also, there would be added costs, more tree removal, if the alignment was changed. The other alternative is to cancel the contract and rebid the project. Staff estimated a 10% to 15% increase in contract cost including . assessed cost if that alternative was pursued. Assistant Manager added that it should be recognized a change in align- ment would not do away with the complaints, it would only change the group from whom the complaints would come. 7/2/75 - 1 3<.03
