AGENDA TITLE: Acceptance of Improvements Under Contract for Central City Revitalization
Improvement Project, Downtown
MEETING DATE: May 6, 1998
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the "Central City
Revitalization Improvement Project, Downtown" contract and direct the
City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Diede Construction, of Woodbridge,
on February 5, 1997, in the amount of $4,114,160.48. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
plans and specifications approved by the City Council.
The contract amount is currently $4,364,241.35. Diede Construction has submitted a request for
payment for additional manhole work which was done on School Street. This request totals
$45,618.52. City staff is negotiating these costs with Diede Construction and will be issuing a contract
change order for this work. A report will be made to Council regarding this change order when it is
completed. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to higher
quantities of some bid items actually installed and contract change orders which have been reviewed by
Council at previous meetings.
FUNDING: This project is appropriated with the Cherokee Lane Project; the total appropriation for
both projects will need to be increased approximately 2 1/2% to cover cost increases.
A final accounting and recommendation for appropriation of additional funds will be made
at the acceptance of the Cherokee Lane Project. The additional funds are due to street
and utility work and will not affect the General Fund.
