AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Electric Utility Office Remodel Project
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director and Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Electric Utility Office Remodel
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract for the Electric Utility Office Remodel Project was awarded
to Diede Construction, Inc., of Woodbridge, in the amount of $2,922,000
on May 19, 2021.
The project included the remodeling of offices, public lobbies, public counters, Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) access, ADA staff bathroom facilities, new accessible locker rooms, an enlarged training room, lighting,
communications, space conditioning, and associated staff support areas. The project also included a
transformer storage building, a covered wire reel storage structure and upgrades to the interior finishes of
Public Works Municipal Utilities Service (MUS) Center that was also constructed in the mid-1970s.
On April 6, 2022, Council adopted a Resolution authorizing the City Manager $500,000 of additional Change
Order authority for a total not -to -exceed amount of $1,020,000. The additional Change Order authority was
requested to replace the Electric Utility Warehouse roof that was not included in the original remodel contract.
The original contract completion was 240 calendar days. One hundred and six (106) calendar days were
added by change orders to accommodate extra work requested by the City. The contract work was completed
within the 346 calendar day contract duration on July 14, 2022. The final contract price was $3,799,736.06.
The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to seven (7) change orders,
totaling $899,083 and unused bid item allowance funds totaling ($21,346.94) as credit. The seven Change
orders include major items previously authorized by City Council: new roof on the Electric Utility Building, new
office furniture for the Electric Utility remodel area and a new roof on the Warehouse.
This contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by
City Council on March 18, 2020
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: This project will reduce costs associated with unplanned and emergency
maintenance and repair work for these deteriorating facilities; and ADA and
security improvements will increase safety and reduce risk of injury for
employees and the public. The addition of covered storage will extend the life of
inventory and assets and reduce the risk of damage. This project will not impact
the General Fund.
APPROVED
