CONTRACT COMPLETION AND COST: The Contractor, McKinney Construction Inc., has completed the work under the subject Contract. The project was completed beyond the established completion date. Liquidated damages in the amount of $20,800.00 for 26 days at $800/day were assessed and reflected in the final payment to the Contractor. The final cost of the project, including overruns and underruns of estimated unit price quantities and previously approved Change Order Nos. 1 and 2 is $4,167,335.40, a decrease of $183,414.60 or 4.22% under the original Contract Amount. The decreased cost is a result of the difference between planned and measured quantities.
This decrease is primarily the result of an underrun in Extra Unit price Items and certain other items not used, which was not necessary to complete the project.
