2360 West Century Boulevard
MEETING DATE: January 18,2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Well 27 on-site improvements,
2360 West Century Boulevard.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to A.M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc.,
of Lodi, in the amount of $172,106, on August 4, 2010. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
The project consisted of the contractor furnishing and installing a 1 50 -horsepower deep well turbine pump
and motor, 384 linear feet of 8 -foot chain link fence with gates, miscellaneous site improvements, and other
incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specificationsfor the project.
The contract completion date was February 15, 2011 (120 working days) and the actual completion date was
October 24, 2011 (127 working days). Work on the project was suspended due to the abnormal rain
received in fall and winter of 2010 and additional time was needed for City -requested extra work. The final
contract price was $253,262.28. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is
due to five contract change orders. Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $20,820.84, was for the
installation of a new radio receivertower and associated equipment at Well 28 for use by the Police and Fire
Departments. Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $27,054.46, was for the installation of a new 10 -inch
water line for future park use. Change Order No. 3, in the amount of $14,272.40, was for the removal of the
temporary plug in the 72 -inch storm drain line and fueling of the City's temporary storm drain pump during
rain periods to maintain 24-hour operation. Change Order No. 4, in the amount of $9,919.98, was for the
fueling of the City's temporary storm drain pump during rain periods to maintain 24-hour operation. Change
Order No. 5, in the amount of $9,088.60, was for electrical work that was originally to be performed by City
staff, but due to staff availability, the contractor was requested to perform the work. The total contract
change order amount is $81,156.28.
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
payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: Operation and maintenance costs within the Water Utility will slightly increase
and will be covered by water rates.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project utilized Water Capital (181), Streets and drainage (170),
Police (101) and Fire (102) fS.
