The original <br />feasibility study done had the cost of the project <br />between $50,700 and $61,680 depending on the alternative <br />selected. This has subsequently been amended as the <br />original feasibility study submitted by the City <br />Engineer was done in advance of soil borings done on <br />site. Because of the soil borings, it has been <br />determined that additional expense would be entailed in <br />the project and the City Engineer is recommending a <br />revised Alternative II with some relocation of the road <br />as Alternative I is no longer cost effective. Prior to <br />the amended cost, staff negotiated with the developer, <br />John McDowell, and Woodhill Country Club who agreed to <br />pay 75% of the total cost of the original feasibility <br />study not to exceed $46,260. Staff recommends the City <br />,pick up 10% of the balance remaining (plus any expense <br />over the original maximum of $61,680) and the abutting <br />three property owners (David Lindstrom, 1315 Woodhill <br />Avenue; Mark Fox, 1230 Woodhill Avenue; and Jane <br />McClaren, 190 Orono Orchard Road) bear the other 15% <br />of the balance which would amount to $3,084 each.
