Amount $25,988,285.00� Small Business (SB) Goal - Woody Contractors, Inc. is in compliance with the small business goal. The Transportation & Public Works Department's (TPW) share of this contract is $2,800,000.00. The Water Department's share of this contract is $200,000.00 (Water: $100,000.00 and Sewer: $100,000.00) and will be available in the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund for the project. In addition to the contract amount, $459,150.00 (TPW) is required for project management, material testing, and inspection. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water & Sewer Fund for the purpose of funding the Water and Wastewater portion of the Stormwater's 2025 Citywide Storm Drain Rehabilitation Open -Cut project within the Water & Sewer Capital Projects Fund.

These projects are not currently defined, and the impacts on the Operations Budgets are unknown. Projects that replace or improve existing infrastructure should not have an impact on the operational budget, as the City already maintains infrastructure in these locations. However, extensions, such as additional stormdrain pipes or inlets, would increase future maintenance responsibilities. Funding is budgeted in the Stormdrain Pipe Rehab programmable project (City Project No: P00114) within the Stormwater Capital Projects Fund for the purpose of funding various work order projects, as appropriated. This task order contract will serve current and future capital projects as - needed, and a funds availability verification will be performed by Transportation & Public Works Contract Compliance Managers prior to task order assignment.
