As these projects were in process, several <br />additional cost items were encountered. These additional cost items are as tollows: <br />A.North Brown Road Project <br />1. Installation of additional retaininj ’ wall <br />Cost <br />$7,423 <br />2.Additional trees to replace those removed for construction (as part of <br />easement negotiations) $2,355 <br />3. Additional storm sewer to meet MCWD permit requirements $10,416 <br />B.Watertown Road Project <br />1. Additional storm sewer work $3,852 <br />2. Additional tree replacements outside of right-of-way as part of easement <br />negotiations $13,7% <br />3. Bituminous overlay and stripping of Watenown Road from Wear Lane <br />to Stubbs Bay Road $44,041.65 <br />Fxpl.mation of Additional Cost Items <br />A. North Brown Road <br />1. Additional retaining wall. The additional retaining wall was installed to avoid <br />the cost of acquiring an easement and replacing 23 mature conitcrous trees. <br />The $7,423 cost of the retaining wall was substantially less than the cost of <br />acquiring an easement and replacing the trees. The tree rcpiacem.ent itself <br />would have cost a minimum of $4,(X)0, and this would have involved the <br />replacement of mature coniferous trees with trees si.x feet in height. This <br />difference in "quality" of trees would have been made up either by replacing <br />the trees with more mature trees at a cost that could have exceeded $10,000 <br />or by paying tne difference as the cost of the casement. <br />J
