ITEMS ADDED DUE TO GREEN INFRASTRUCTUREStorage Stone $298,500 $30/CY (Creekwalk bid) ‐ Assume $35 for a 17% contingency $ 200,970
Additional Trees/Shrubs $101 840Bioretention removed from projects, deduct shrub costs from green. $ 61 471Additional Trees/Shrubs $101,840 p j , gSplit tree costs of $46,000 between City and County $ 61,471
Additional CU Soil $19,000 No Change $ 23,000 Trench Drains $8,610 Trench Drains assumed to be necessary for bike path drainage $ 8,200 6", 10", 24" & 36" Storage/Overflow Pipes (w/ deduction for underdrains) $170,795 No Change $ 74,710
Addi i l D i S /F & G $78 750 $ 117 222Additional Drainage Structures/Frame & Grates $78,750 Reduce to reflect the the smaller inlets for GI $ 117,222
Silva Cell $97,458 Adequate root volume for trees was a comment from City on original design prior to Silva Cell pilot. Green share of silva cells assumed at 75% and share of tree costs assumed to be 50%. $ 106,310
ITEMS MODIFIED AS A RESULT OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
8" Asphalt to 8" Porous Concrete (Parking Lane) $63,350 Unit Cost difference too high. Replace with $10/sq. ft. $ 21,240 g p q
Regular Pavers/Top Soil & Seed to Porous Pavers $172,350 Green infrastructure does not require grass areas to be converted to porous pavers. Therefore, a 50% cost share ($116,250) would appear more reasonable $ 95,046
Work Zone Traffic Control $56,629 Please clarify the assumption for 39% of total traffic control being allocated to green. The City indicated that as work preceded block to block that traffic could be detoured around the block in progress $ 66,806
