�~ I f� ' f/ <br /> Alternatives <br /> (1) Hire additional crew members to perform the work in-house in lieu of this contract. It <br /> was determined that the contract option is better based on: <br /> � the trench repairs are not a full-time activity and occur randomly <br /> • the cost of an additional full time crew and equipment would be more expensive <br /> than this contract <br /> • the inclusion of the concrete repairs <br /> • the general fund budget cannot afford to support the additional crew members <br /> during the remainder of their work schedule beyond trench repair. <br /> (2) All the trench repairs could be performed by existing City staff. Staff would have to <br /> delay necessary pavement maintenance and preservation and temporary sidewalk <br /> maintenance in order to perform the trench repairs. Reduced staffing under the <br /> current budget circumstances further diminishes this option. <br /> (3) The service could be re-bid. The City received a valid bid for the work. <br /> � Fiscal Impact <br /> Funds have been approved in the appropriations for the 2004-2005 Public Works Services <br /> water and wastewater systems maintenance budgets in the amount of $82,000 in sanitary <br /> sewer and $145,358 in water. Staff will manage the utility repairs within the budgeted <br /> utilities funding ($227,358). <br /> � <br /> � _�� <br /> Go don Mann Peter Ingram Ed E erett <br /> Public Works Superintendent Director, Public orks Services City Manager <br /> Attachments <br /> None <br /> Specifications are available for review in the City Clerks Office <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
