with the soils report recommendations. On September 30, 2014, the Executive Director approved
Optimus' change order request for removal of an existing septic tank. This was an unknown site
condition and Optimus has requested $10,194.53 for this work.
Fiscal Analysis
The initial contract amount was $15,423,351.39. The costs associated with Change Order No. 1
total $10,194.53 and will increase the contract amount to $15,433,545.92. The funding for this
change order is available in the project contingency ($1,542,335.13) and requires a transfer of
contingency to base.
The estimated costs for the project are listed on ROPS lines 171 and 186. Although the Housing
Authority will initially advance the funds for this work, the SARDA may reimburse the Authority for
the costs from bond proceeds. The 2007 Housing Set-Aside bond issuance included the Carlos
Ortega Villas as a project in the bond covenants.
As a requirement of the State Department of Finance, a Bond Proceeds Funding Agreement was
approved to facilitate this purpose by the Oversight Board on October 7, 2013, and by the
Authority Board on October 10, 2013.
Additionally, staff has been working with the California Advanced Homes Program to secure
financial incentives for energy efficiencies currently designed into the project. The CAHP is a
statewide, residential new construction energy-efficiency program, funded by utility customers
through the Public Purpose Programs surcharge. The potential incentive for this project is
upwards of$125,000.00. Staff will provide updates on reserved funding as available.
