This report requests that the City Council approve an increase of
$9,000 in the contract amount for the construction of Carousel
Park by FTR International for a revised total contract of
$1,292,990.
Background
At its June II, 1985 meeting, Council approved a contract with
FTR International in the amount of $1,l83,990 for construction of
the Carousel Park. Council also approved a contingency amount of
$100,000.
FTR International has completed construction and the
park was opened to the public on June 6, 1986.
staff is
recommending that an amount of $9,000 be added to the contract to
cover the final change orders required for the project's
completion.
The $100,000 in contingency funds which have been spent to date
were used primarily to correct site conditions during the course
of construction. Major work items included additional excavation
and drainage improvement.
The final changes, for which the
additional appropriation is sought, include the relocation of two
light fixtures and structural corrections to the handrail

brackets.
The de~n location for the two li~ fixtures did not

account for the close proximity of the pier bridge: relocation
was necessary to provide for public safety. The handrail bracket
correction to the plans was required to meet the Uniform Building
Code. The total change orders, including this additional $9,000,
are 9% of the contract price.
Budqet/Financial Impact
The recommended action requires that funds be transferred between
Capital Project accounts in the Pier Fund.
This transfer is
within administrative authority to approve.
Recommendation
staff respectfully recommends that Council approve the increase
of $9,000 in appropriation authority for the contract with FTR
International.
