STAFF NOTES:
Generally, from a budget perspective, this project is in a positive position (please see attached budget).  The City had $210,000 budgeted for change orders.  At this point, roughly 39% of the project contingency budget has been used, and staff doesn't see anything major coming forward before this project closes out (we do expect a change order #5).  Additionally, between wiring, FF&E, and the generator line items, staff expects the project to come in $120,000 below budget (savings).  Staff, BKV Group, and Brennen Construction have worked together on several occasions throughout this project to eliminate potential change orders and save money within available line items (i.e. FF&E, wiring, and the generator).  Staff is anticipating, at this point, a "budget surplus" will be available at the conclusion of this construction project.
