price adjustment for the unit prices bid based on the Construction Cost Index (CCI); and,
WHEREAS,the work for this project was bid on a unit price basis, since the exact number
of gallons disposed may vary from year to year; and,
WHEREAS, because the work takes place in a very short window each fall, staff is
recommending that this year's award include, as was done in the previous year's contract, a"not to
exceed" cap that would allow up to a 25% increase in quantities over what was specified in the
original base bid without the need to suspend work to obtain change order approval from Council
to adjust quantities; and,

2015/16 contract to $146,843.77.
