The scope of work provides for removing an approximately 120,000 square feet existing asphalt parking lot, including any associated utilities, and restore to green space. The work will also include routing and cleaning joints and cracks, sealcoating, and restriping of approximately 208,000 square feet of existing parking lots and milling and resurfacing of approximately 60,000 square feet of the existing perimeter road. The A/E is encouraged to include independent cost estimators on their teams to verify estimates are in line with current market conditions to avoid project bids that exceed the available funding for the project. A/E estimates should be updated and verified at each stage of the project in accordance with the Design and Construction Manual. Designers are reminded that their Professional Services Agreements make them responsible for providing a design that is within budget, and they can be held responsible for redesign of the project should bids received exceed project funding.
