AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for 2015 GrapeLine Bus Stop Accessibility and
Shelter Improvements
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2015 GrapeLine Bus Stop
Accessibility and Shelter Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Sierra National Construction, Inc., of
Carmichael, on February 4, 2015, in the amount of $282,692. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans
and specifications approved by City Council.
This project consisted of removing accessibility barriers near eight GrapeLine bus stops and installing shelters
at nine bus stop locations. Curb ramps were installed at 11 locations and alley approaches were reconstructed
at two locations to meet ADA guidelines. Each new shelter included lighting, a bench, and a trash can.
The contract completion date was May 30, 2015, and the actual completion date was May 18, 2015. The final
contract price was $ 293,690. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due
to minor modifications to the project scope due to unforeseen underground conditions.
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: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated
with these improvements, which will be absorbed in the Transit Operations
budget.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) /
Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds (60199000).
