AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Lockeford Street Water Main
(Church Street to Sacramento Street) and Olive Court Water Main Replacement
(Pleasant Avenue to Church Street) Project
MEETINS DATE: May 3, 2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the
"Lockeford Street Water Main (Church Street to Sacramento Street)
and Olive Court Water Main Replacement (Pleasant Avenue to
Church Street) Project" contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Arrow Construction, of Ceres, on
October 19, 2005, in the amount of $337,760.00. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
This project continued the City's Infrastructure Replacement Program to rehabilitate existing water
infrastructure in the oldest parts of the City. This project integrated two smaller projects (Lockeford Street
Water Main and Olive Court Water Main Replacement), both budgeted in the 2005106 fiscal year. The project
included the installation of approximately 1,500 linear feet of 6 -inch and 8 -inch diameter water main and the
abandonment of approximately 1,200 linear feet of existing 2 -inch and 3 -inch water main, including
miscellaneous storm drain and surface improvements.
The contract completion date was April 12, 2006, and the actual completion date was March 24, 2006. The final
contract price was $358,926.15. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is
mainly due to two contract change orders which compensated the contractor for miscellaneous items of work,
including adding 1 -inch unions on the new water services; repairing an existing trench patch; additional work to
remove concrete found under the School Street pavement; extra storm drain lateral and catch basin work; and
the addition of truncated domes on the new handicap ramps. The two contract change orders added
$26,701.15 to this contract. There were also minor adjustments made to the original contract quantities, so the
final contract price does not equal the sum of the original contract price and the contract change orders.
Following acceptance by the City Council, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's office.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed improvements will increase water system performance and
reliability, thereby reducing operations and maintenance costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Water Utility Capital Outlay Fund $333,802.15
Wastewater Utility Capital Outlay Fund $ 25,124.00
Contract Amount: $358,926.15
