To the Municipal Officers:
Reference is made to City Council Order No. 223 AE passed
May 23, 19779 authorizing the installation of a sanitary sewer
on Griffin Road from the Renduskeag Interceptor to Aenduskeag
Avenue, and to City Council Order No. 361 AE passed August 22,
1977 authorizing the extension of the sanitary sewer on Aendus-
keag Avenue from Griffin Road to the Eastern Maine Orphans Home.
All work has been completed, and the final costa have been dater -
mined, as follows:
The installation consisted of 3,375 feet of 8 inch pipe
and 10 manholes. The total complete project cost, including
engineering, was $93,723.79, which was considerably in excess
of the original estimate of $64,866.00. Most of the overrun
was encountered on the %enduskeag Avenue portion of the project,
being 48.9M higher than the original estimate.
The reasons for the cost overrun were (1) high initial
construction bid received, and (2) an extreme overrun in ledge
excavation. The sewer was originally installed under emergency
conditions to correct a serious septic taxAc problem at 8t.
Michael's Home; it was necessary to advertise the project
for bids late in the fall, and the low bid received was approxi-
mately 60% higher than our usual cost for performing this work
with public Works crews. The lateness of the season and other
commitments prevented us from using Public Works to perform the
work, and necessitated the acceptance of the high bid. The
original estimate of ledge was 100 cubic yards, and the actual
quantity removed was 438 cubic yards, resulting in an overrun
of $135520.00.
Based upon the actual completed cost, which is normally
50Y assessable, the front foot assessment would be $8.47 per
foot as opposed to assessments of between $3.75 and $4.00 per
foot for similar projects performed by Public Works. For this
reason, it is recommended that the assessable amount be limited
to $75,000.00,with the overrun to be charged to the Sewer Fund.
This Will still result in assessment overcome of approximately
1996 to the people on Renduakeag Avenue.
The following list indicates the assessments based upon
(1) the original estimate given to the property owners, (2)
assessments basad on the actual total coat, and (3) assessments
based upon a project cost of $759000-00-

It should be noted that the assessment as recommended is
approximately $6.78 per foot, which is still substantially
higher than all other recently campleted sewer projects. It
should also be noted that only 61% o£ the property owners were
originally in favor of the sewer installation, including the
Orphanage, and it is doubtful that even a majority would have
been in favor if the higher cost had been known.
It is recommended that theassessmentsbe levied as noted
above for a project cost of $75,000.00.
Plans showing the actual sewer installation are on file
is the office of the City Engineer.
