The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council on April 2, 2014.

The Public Works Department took advantage of the project timing to perform necessary improvements to portions of Oak Street, Cherokee Lane, and various underground utilities. The contract duration was 450 calendar days and the contract was completed within 450 calendar days. The project was substantially completed on December 31, 2015 with the Fire Department taking occupancy on January 12, 2016. The final contract cost was $4,373,803.24. The difference between the original contract amount and final contract was due to two change orders totaling $146,063.24, or 3 percent of the original contract amount. The changes included: Change Order No. 1 included additional curb, gutter, and sidewalk; replacement of traffic signal loops and pedestrian push button at the intersection of Pine Street and Cherokee Lane, and some minor fire hydrant and storm drain work ($83,045.78).

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 inform vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and to initiate the 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.
