DISCUSSION:
On June 28, 1999, the City Council authorized the award of the Newport Heights Street
Lighting contract to DBX, Inc., of Temecula, California. The contract provided for the
replacement of 44 incandescent street lights and approximately 10,000 feet of obsolete
electrical conduit and wiring, within the City's 15 -year conversion program. The
contract has now been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.
A summary of the contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $232,158.00
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 217,958.00
Total amount of change orders: 3,903.25
Final contract cost: $221,861.25
The decrease in the amount of actual bid items constructed over the original bid
amount resulted from the installation of less conduit than the estimated amount of
conduit as per bid item quantities. The final overall construction cost including change
orders was 4.4% under the original bid amount.
One change order in the amount of $3,903.25 provided for two street lights to be
delivered to the City Yard for future replacement stock.
