The contract with R. Gutierrez Engineering Corporation in the amount of $129,217.68 was approved by Commissioners’ Court on August 16, 2011 and the contract with L&G Engineering Laboratory, L.L.C. in the amount of $8,566.87 was approved by Commissioners’ Court on December 06, 2011. The request to reduce these contract amounts is to account for an overage in estimated expenses within the bid proposal. The engineering and construction portion of the Minnesota Drain and Trenton Drain projects have been closed and the remaining purchase order balances have been deemed as surplus by both of the engineers. Please see attached memorandums from the engineers as their acknowledgement of the purchase order closeout. The surplus funds will in turn be utilized to reduce the local funds contribution for Precinct No. 2 in the Minnesota Drain Project as described in Amendment 7 of DRS010068/Round 1.
