BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consisted of installing bullet resistant service windows and public service counters on the first floor, retrofitting existing interior windows and doorways with bullet resistant panels, security card access and hardware on the second floor, and other incidental and related work. These improvements allow Staff more time to safely exit the premises during an active shooter event. This project was awarded to Diede Construction Inc., of Woodbridge on April 7. 2021 in the amount of $243,602.00. The final contract amount was $259,729.00. The cost increase was due to Change Order No.1 ($16,127.00) to add a bullet proof service counter at the Administration office. The original contract completion date was June 30, 2021, and the actual contract completion date was January 13, 2022. The completion delay was due to the bullet proof material suppliers delay in getting the material fabricated, shipped and installed; and the extra work on the change order. 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 building maintenance cost associated with the installed improvements. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by General Fund Capital. Charles E.
