On January 14, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved a total project budget of $1,774,617 for the Knights Landing Boat Launch Improvement Project. The Parks Division requests that the Board approve a new total project budget of $2,131,740 to account for increases to actual and estimated project costs. Though the requested total project budget is $2,131,740, the project costs are expected to be $1,871,635. The cost increase is due to the following: in-lieu mitigation payment for impacting water of the United States ($35,000); concrete testing and inspection services ($25,000); Yolo County building permit fees ($18,000); Yocha Dehe cultural monitoring ($15,000), and additional engineering services ($4,018).
This action will allow the Director of General Services to spend up to $2,131,740 should any unexpected costs arise. Any additional project expense in excess of the $1,674,617 up to $2,131,740 will be reimbursed by a federal Sport Fish Restoration Act (SFRA) grant. SFRA funding is administered by the Wildlife Conservation Board, and Yolo County is a subrecipient of the federal grant award. The county can request reimbursement of project costs through the SFRA grant in arrears after all grant funds from Wildlife Conservation Board are expended.
APTIM has served as the engineer of record on the Knights Landing Boat Launch Improvement Project since January 2018, when they were hired to recreate the original design and construction plans after the previous engineering firm was nonresponsive. APTIM’s continued services are needed in order to provide construction support and prepare engineered drawings to respond to permitting requirements. The additional cost of this third amendment to work authorization utilizing Agreement No. 17-75 is not to exceed $4,018, which brings the work authorization total to $149, 031. This additional cost is within the proposed total budget amount and expenditures will be reimbursed through the SFRA grant. No additional funding is being requested at this time.
Construction is on schedule and is expected to be completed on or before October 30, 2020. Major site improvements completed thus far include installation of the precast vault restroom, concrete walkway, infiltration basin for capturing water runoff, new parking stalls adjacent to the ramp, water well for irrigation and future park host, and widening of the ramp to accommodate new concrete panels. Installation of rip rap along the slough bank is expected to have been installed prior to the September 1 Board of Supervisors hearing.
