AGENDA TITLE: Acceptance of Improvements Under Legion Park Improvements,
835 South Hutchins Street Contract
MEETING DATE: August 20, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the "Legion Park
Improvements, 835 South Hutchins Street" 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 A. M. Stephens Construction Company,
of Lodi, on September 18, 1996, in the amount of $213,679. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
plans and specifications approved by the City Council.
The contract completion date was April 25, 1997. In most projects, the City will accept a parks project
before the completion of the 90 -day landscape maintenance period. However, on this particular project,
the City had concerns about areas in the Park with sparse stands of grass growth and delayed the
acceptance until the completion of the landscape maintenance period. A. M. Stephens has resodded all
of the problem areas and the Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments are now willing to
accept the project.
The final contract price was $217,811. The difference between the contract amount and the final
contract price is mainly due to an upgrade in the irrigation controller which will make it compatible with
the Parks Department's Maxicom system, additional conduit to the tennis court lights so they can be
remotely controlled, and an upgrade on the frame type for the swings.
