AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for the Elm Street Overlay 2007 Project
MEETING DATE: November21,2007
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept the improvements under the Elm Street Overlay 2007
contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The projectwas awarded at the May 2,2007 Council meeting to
DSS Engineering Company, of Stockton, in the amount of $374,833.
This project consisted of furnishing and installing approximately 3,650 tons of asphalt concrete, furnishing
and installing pavement fabric, performing pavement and edge grinding, adjusting manhole and water
valve frames to grade, furnishing and installing traffic detection loops, performing striping, furnishing and
installing approximately 455 linearfeet of 2 -inch waterline (for the landscaped median irrigation system),
and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the above project.
The final contract price was $393,691. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract
price was due to adjustments in the contract quantities. The final pay quantityfor the asphalt concretewas
278 tons more than the engineer's estimate of 3,368 tons. This additional tonnage increased the contract
by $15,846. The final pay quantitiesfor adjusting manhole frames and covers to grade and for adjusting
water valve frames and covers to grade were also more than what was originally estimated (two more
manhole frames and covers and three more water valve frames and covers) and there were also 148 more
reflective pavement markers installed. The additional utilityframe and cover adjustments and the
additional reflective pavement markers added another $3,014 to the total cost of the project.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold paymentsfrom the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: In the near term, maintenance costs will be reduced. As the pavement
ages, pavement maintenance steps will be initiated.
