The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. This project consisted of developing four and one-half acres of park land.

The contract completion date was October 14, 2012. The actual completion date was February 4, 2013. The final contract price was $559,680.34. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to the following: • Change Order No. 1 included contractor remobilization costs and ADA drinking fountain ($2,102.94). • Change Order No. 2 included costs for remobilization of demolition contractor related to biological survey bird nesting delays ($3,540.74). • Change Order No. 3 included electrical work required by the Electric Utility Department to provide power to the park that was not included in the original bid ($8,835.57). • Change Order No. 4 included a City -requested change to a mow -free turf along the Tienda Drive frontage ($250.00). • Change Order No. 5 included changing the transformer at the Rainbird booster pump per the manufacturer's recommendation ($1,455.59). • Increase in contract unit quantities installed for the concrete walkways ($288.00). 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.
