• A number of bathroom sinks in Inglenook did not have detachable aerators, such that only a <br />percentage of the sinks could be retrofit. Surplus faucet aerators are being used by the City in <br />other programs. <br />• The waterless urinals were not acceptable to the City's maintenance staff, such that no <br />waterless urinals were installed in the City's facilities. <br />Also note that the showertimers which were installed in the Recreation Center were vandalized and as <br />such were removed after only 3 months. Water savings after this time were only associated with the <br />low flow showerheads. <br />Finally, the number of audits conducted during the project was different from the number contained in <br />the grant application, chiefly due to the lack of interest in the local community for audits. For this <br />reason, the number of residential and HOA audits was less than expected; however the number and <br />complexity of the commercial audits was greater than expected. Therefore the cost of doing the <br />additional commercial audits offset any cost savings associated with doing fewer residential and HOA <br />audits. For this reason, there are no budget implications associated with the revised number of audits. <br />Due to these "in field" conditions, a portion of the project funding was not spent by the City. A full <br />accounting of the revised project costs are provided below. <br />Budget Impacts <br />As noted above, there were a number of changes to the project scope during the installation phase as a <br />result of encountered field conditions. The result of the field changes impacted project budget. In <br />addition, the project budget was impacted by City procurement requirements that were unforeseen <br />during preparation of the grant application. A listing of the budget and incurred costs is summarized in <br />the table below. <br />Task <br />Grant Defined <br />Actual <br />Comment <br />Budget <br />Great Western <br />$ 25,602.50 <br />$ 31,223.75 <br />Apply difference to <br />Difference is associated with supporting City <br />Institute <br />City match and <br />procurement efforts and performing more <br />Grant <br />complicated commercial audits <br />Plumbing Support <br />8 <br />5,761.00 <br />Apply difference to <br />Difference is associated with reduced number <br />City match <br />of urinal installations <br />Printing <br />1,100.00 <br />1,297.18 <br />Apply difference to <br />City match <br />Fixtures <br />24,788.00 <br />22,630.68 <br />Apply difference to <br />Difference is associated with more toilets but <br />Grant <br />fewer urinals <br />The impact of these changes will be that the overall project will have a slightly lower cost of $73,447.61 <br />(down from $73,643.10) but the total grant request will remain the same as $49,613.00. The percent <br />match from the City will be about 32% of the project, including a cash contribution of $11,299.61. <br />
