HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - May 6, 1998 (82)CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONLL 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. ,fid Richard C. Prima, r.
