COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
FROM: City Manager
DATE- February 2, 1981
SUBJECT: Salas Park Sprinkler and Turfing Contract
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize a payment of $29,031.52
to Nor Mac Inc. for materials being held for this project,
BACKGROUND INFOPH ATION: The City Council awarded the contract for the above
project to B S V Landscape of Sacramento in October of 1980. At that time,
work was expected to commence shortly and be completed before the first of the
year. As of this date, work has not commenced on the contract through no
fault of the contractor. Due to the necessary regrading being slower than
expected by Claude C. Wood Co., and unanticipated compaction problems being
encountered by Granite Construction, the contractors responsible for the on-
site drainage, the work being contracted to B b V Landscaping is still unable
to start. Their suppliers, Nor Mac Inc. has warehoused the material for them
but is requesting, at this time, payment in order to hold the price tendered
in October. We feel this is a reasonable request, and in order to not have
to negotiate a higher price for the work, or a rebid, would appreciate the
Council's approval.
The payment would be directly to the supplier, and they would be holding the
material in the name of the City of Lodi, The City Attorney has reviewed
this matter and agrees with the proposal, We have reviewed the proposal
with the contractor u.:1 he is also in agreement.
