MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Tuesday, March 19, 2019 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Staff is recommending that both Parts A and B be awarded to GMH Construction in the amount of <br />$1,201,238.25. <br /> <br />Funding for the project will come from a combination of the Pavement Management Fund, the <br />Stormwater Fund, and Sewer Fund. Currently the Pavement Management Fund has $1,081,095.92 based <br />on current estimates, which results in approximately a $100,000 shortfall. That shortfall is anticipated to <br />be made up either through the General Fund or a short-term interfund loan. <br /> <br />Walsh stated the good news is the City is projecting a significant amount of project revenue in 2019 as <br />well as $534,000 for 2020 in the Pavement Management Fund. <br /> <br />Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to award the 2019 Road Improvement Projects to GMH <br />Construction in the amount of $1,201,238.67, and to approve Bolton & Menk’s not-to-exceed fee in <br />the amount of $185,000 for construction oversight.
