This payment is in the amount of $26,946.68 for the release of retainage due to project completion. The enclosed Closeout Change Order results in a reduction in the project cost from the adjusted contract amount of $1,372,335.76 to the final contract amount of $1,347,335.78, for a decrease of $25,000.00. The changes in quantities could not, in our opinion, have reasonably been effectuated by a separately bid contract without unduly disrupting work and imposing adverse consequences on the Borough and will provide an improved level of service to residents. Enclosed is the two (2) year Maintenance Bond in the amount of $269,467.16, twenty percent (20%) of the Final Contract Amount. By copy of the bond to the Borough Attorney, we request that same is reviewed and approved. Certified Payroll Records and Manning Reports shall be submitted by the Contractor under separate cover.
