One of the line items on the bid schedule was for required asphalt for the driveways and parking lots. This is a line item figure and all of the bidders used the square yardage shown on the line item for a cost for this. Inadvertently, the Engineering Staff had figured the area as square yards instead of cubic yards~of asphalt, and therefore, there was an approximately $45,000 difference in the amount of asphalt needed as compared to what was quoted. It was further explained that even though there was an error in the original line item, the City did get that amount of asphalt for the project which was needed and should be paid for. After considerable discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that the City should proceed with the Change Order necessary to pay for the additional asphalt.
