AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for the Residential Water Meter Installation
Project
MEETING DATE: September 7, 2011
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Accept improvements under contract for the residential water meter
installation project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded at the February 20,2008 Council meeting
to Petersen Construction, Inc., of Reno, Nevada, in the amount of
$13,048.
This project included the installation of approximately 542 domestic water meters with remote -read
capabilities and 396 electronic radio transponders (ERTs) and other incidental and related work, all as
shown on the plans and specifications for the project.
The project was completed in September 2009, but formal acceptance of the project was inadvertently
overlooked. The final contract price was $10,569. The difference between the contract amount and the
final contract price was due to minor differences between the engineer's estimate of work and the actual
measured quantities.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will 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 payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in long-term maintenance and replacement
costs, which will be covered under the metered water rate.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project utilized Water Capital Funds (181462).
