Fernwood lighting RFP. At the same time, the Village should
consider entering into an agreement with FPL to provide lighting
throughout the Village. FPL does not assess capital costs for
the standard lighting installation but does charge a CIAC for the
associated conduit installation. The operating costs will be paid
for under the existing separate Village operating budget for street
lighting. Existing decorative street lighting that is already served with
underground infrastructure is assumed to remain in service.
 Construction cost contingency has been estimated at a rate
of 10%.
 An allowance for restoration of private property after service
installation and utility demolition is included. Our OPC also includes
an allowance for equipment screening.
 All construction projects carry inherent risk for construction claims,
litigation, or other such legal action against the Village for personal
or property damages. This OPC does not include costs associated
with contractor termination, re-mobilization, construction claims,
litigation, or other such legal action.
 It can be expected that cost variations may occur throughout
the life of the program based on market conditions, labor and
material price fluctuations, and other factors. Kimley-Horn has no

contractor’s methods of determining prices or over competitive
bidding or market conditions. The OPC provided herein is based

only Kimley-Horn’s judgment as a design professional familiar
with the construction industry. Kimley-Horn cannot and does not
guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual construction costs will not
vary from its OPC.
 Costs related to the abandoning of rear yard easements has not
been considered or included in the OPC at this time.
