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). _J I, Jw4,-L_ F.
