The City Council accepted the improvements for "Well
Drilling, Well 10R, East Side of Central California
Traction Line at Lime Street off of Guild Avenue" and
directed the Public Works Director to file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's Office.
Council was apprised that the contract was awarded to
Hennings Brothers Drilling Co., Inc. of Modesto on W 6,
1987 in the amount of $48,270.00. The contract has been
completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications, approved by the City Council, except as
noted bel ow.
The contract completion date was August 3, 1987 and the
actual completion date was September 4, 1987. The final
contract price was $37,472.26. The difference between the
contract amount and the final contract price is mainly due
to a deduction penalty for failure to meet the plumbness
and alignment criteria of the specifications. The delay i n
acceptance of this project was due to allowances made by
the City so that the contractor could verify the plurnbness
and alignment results independently and consult with their
attorneys on the legal aspects of future liability of the
contract nonconformance.
The penalty amount is the difference between the cost of a
deep -well turbine pump (which the City planned to install)
and a submersible pump which can handle the misalignment.
