BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Soracco & Sons, of Sutter Creek, in the amount of $188,091.11, on March 6, 2013. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. The master plan for DeBenedetti Park includes a maintenance yard consisting of park maintenance facilities, a storm drainage pump station and a municipal well at the southwest corner of Century Boulevard and Heavenly Way. The pump station and well projects have been completed by the Public Works Department. The City received several critical comments regarding the appearance of the Public Works facilities and requests were made to advance the construction of the maintenance yard enclosure. This project consisted of constructing a 7 -foot high masonry wall surrounding the maintenance yard and Public Works facilities, as called for in the original master plan. An objective of the project was to screen the existing pump station and well from public view. The enclosure looks similar to the existing reverse frontage wall and landscaping located on the southeasterly corner of the Century Boulevard and Heavenly Way intersection. The contract completion date was September 11, 2013. The final contract price was $193,903.11. The difference between the original contract amount and final contract amount is due to extra work to add more crushed rock to the interior of the site. 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: Not applicable. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Storm Impact Mitigation Fees (175043), Water Capital (18104.3), and Parks Capital (1212043). Jbi F.
