BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction, of Lodi, in the amount of $238,877.65. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. This project consisted of reconstructing the City Hall parking lot with asphalt concrete, constructing a trash enclosure, installing handicap -accessible parking stalls, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project. The project also included the removal of four existing Arizona ash trees in the parking lot. The trees were in poor condition, and their roots were raising the concrete curb and asphalt pavement. Three new Chinese Pistache trees were planted as their replacement. The completion date was March 5, 2013. The final contract price was $290,740.19. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to the following: • Change Order No. 1 included the addition of an ADA path of travel from the parking area to Elm Street, adding a sump at the Carnegie Forum basement entrance and additional landscaping at the median strip ($18,270.30). • Change Order No. 2 added stiffeners at the trash enclosure gates and screening of grinding materials so they could be used at other City projects ($14,096.91). • Change Order No. 3 is for the contractor to return to seal the parking lot asphalt concrete during hot weather ($13,415.33). • There was an increase in unit quantities installed for concrete curbs, ADA parking stalls and asphalt concrete ($6,080.00). 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. FISCAL IMPACT: The project will decrease maintenance costs and implement additional elements of the City's ADA Transition Plan. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Street Fund (320123) and General Fund (1211785). F.
