BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: May 7, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Budget Transfer Request - Old Antioch Road Project
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Roads Division has a need to replace three batwing mowers
that have aged to the point of no longer being practically repairable. Mowing season has begun
and immediate replacement of the mowers is needed to meet service levels. Staff is requesting a
budget transfer in the amount of $50,000 from the savings realized in the Old Antioch Road
Project for the purchase of the three mowers.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: For FY12 we budgeted $1M in 3201 and $500,000 in
3202 for Antioch based on cost estimates developed when road construction costs were elevated.
Because the actual project bid was significantly lower than previously anticipated and
construction was not fully completed in FY12, we asked that $900,000 be budgeted in FY13 for
the project. Antioch Road final cost in 3201-563486 is $618,166.29 which is a recognized
savings for the FY13 budgeted amount of $281,833.71. It is a total savings, based on the FY12
budget, of $881,833.71.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove transfer of $50,000 in funds from the Old Antioch Road
Improvements Project to a created capital equipment line item in account 3201.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve budget transfer as requested for the purchase of the batwing
mowers.
