AGENDA TITLE: Accept improvements under Installation of Utility Conduits under the Woodbridge Irrigation
District's Canal
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2001
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the Installation of Utility
Conduits under the Woodbridge Irrigation District's Canal contract and direct
the Electric Utility Director to file a notice of completion with the County
Recorder's Office.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Clayborn Contracting Group, Inc., Auburn, CA
on January 17, 2001, in the amount of $42,587.00. During the construction
period one Contract Change Order was issued, making the final contract
price $44,178.00. The contract has been completed in substantial
conformance with the plans and specifications approved by the City Council. The contract completion date was March
8, 2001. This project was designed and bid as a joint project between three utilities, namely: PacBell, AT&T
Broadband and the Electric Utility Department (EUD) with the EUD being the lead agency. Project costs were to be
shared between these utilities with approximately 1/3 of the cost to each utility. Following award of the contract AT&T
Broadband decided not to participate in the project. This action left two options available to the remaining parties.
The most beneficial option was for the EUD to pick up the conduit originally planned for use by AT&T Broadband and
reroute this conduit into electrical facilities for future use. This action was not the cause of the Contract Change
Order. The final cost to each of the participating utilities is $31,103.13 for EUD and $13,074.96 for PacBell. EUD's
additional cost for the 3" conduit is $8,116.82. PacBell will be reimbursing the City for their share of the project.
FUNDING: This project was funded through the Department's 1999-2001 Financial Plan and Budget, Distribution
System Improvement (pages E-26).
