The contract was awarded to Soracco, Inc., of Lodi, in the amount of $63,630, on March 17, 2021. All work was completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. The final contract price was $73,559.20 with one change order in the amount of $9,929 to supply and replace stair treads with extra stability. Photos showing the completed work are shown in Exhibit A. 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 an insignificant increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated with these improvements, while reducing the City's legal exposure resulting from an unstable stairway. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Parks Capital fund. ("0 Charles E.
