AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for 2012 Streets Crack Sealing Project
MEETING DATE: November21,2012
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2012 streets crack sealing
project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Graham Contractors, Inc., of
San Jose, in the amount of $79,216.02, on June 20,2012. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
plans and specifications approved by City Council.
The project consisted of crack sealing approximately 2,300,000 square feet of various City streets to
prevent asphalt failure due to water infiltration into the street sub -grade. Crack sealing is one of the most
cost-effective preventative maintenance practices for the City's roadway system, but the work can only
be performed during the warm summer months. The project was completed on September 13, 2012.
There were no change orders and the final contract price was $79,216.02. Representative pictures of the
project are included as Exhibit A.
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: Crack sealing extends the useful life of City streets.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This projectwas funded by Measure K Maintenance Funds (325028).
