AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Station
Improvements Project
MEETING DATE: January 16, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Compress Natural Gas Fueling
Station Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project was awarded to TNT Industrial Contractors, Inc., of
Sacramento, on November 2, 2016, in the amount of $232,999. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans
and specifications approved by City Council on August 3, 2016.
This project consisted of replacing failed components and various improvements and upgrades to the
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station that was originally constructed in 2002. The improvements
included upgrading or replacing the compressor control panel for lead lag operation and remote monitoring
of the two compressors, installation of a second natural gas dryer, replacing the dispenser on the Fuel
Island, and repairs necessary to bring the slow fill system back in operation.
The project completion date was December 31, 2018. The final cost of the project was $259,385. The
difference between the original contract amount and final contract amount is due to two change orders
needed to address additional repairs requested by the City.
Change Order No. 1 included the installation of staff -requested, CNG nozzles that are more compatible with
the City's newer Transit vehicles. This was a safety-related request ($7,990).
Change Order No. 2 included updated compressor monitoring system components needed to replace the
existing, outdated system that lacked sufficient computer memory to function properly with the upgrades
($17,740).
The work was substantially complete in early 2018. The reason for the delay in Council acceptance is
related to delayed project submittals by the contractor and permitting issues.
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 decrease in annual maintenance costs associated with these
upgrades.
