On December 9, 2003, the City Council authorized the award of the Castaways Park

using native and drought resistant plantings was created to protect abutting residential
properties. The park will be managed by the City of Newport Beach as a natural park.
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: $268,857.00
Actual amount of bid items constructed: $253,372.00

Final contract cost: $267,658.07

The decrease in the amount of actual bid items constructed under the original bid
amount resulted from the need for less hydromulch and hand - seeding. The final overall

amount.
Three change orders totaling $14,286.07 were issued for the project.
• Change Order 1 in the amount of $4,127.32 provided for additional revegetation

plants.
