DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors consider approving the Notice of Completion for the Surplus Yard/Ag Facility Access Driveway Improvement Project by Lamon Construction Company, Inc. for a final cost of $396,027.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On October 25, 2016, the Board authorized the Department of Resource Management to advertise for bids, and to award and execute a contract with the lowest responsible bidder for driveway improvements at the Cordelia Campus Facility. A contract was executed with Lamon Construction for $294,857. The project consisted of widening and overlay of the existing driveway, extending and placing RSP at existing culverts, relocation of chain link fencing, signs, and keypad, and installation of new wood guardrail and edge line striping. The project encountered numerous wet weather conditions at the site which added $49,070 in additional work costs involving subgrade repairs and additional aggregate base rock.
During last winter’s flooding events, the Department requested assistance from Lamon Construction Company after the County’s emergency declaration. Lamon Construction responded, and the Department authorized an additional $52,100 in project contracted extra work to perform levee repairs where homes were threatened with flooding along Suisun Creek. Lamon Construction Company was very responsive during the emergency, and provided quality levee repair work that was vital to protection from further flood damage during that time.
All construction work on the project has been completed in compliance with the contract plans and specifications. Approval of the Notice of Completion allows the Department of Resource Management to make the final payment to the contractor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The driveway improvement work was funded with $343,937 from the General Fund which was budgeted for these improvements. The $52,100 in emergency storm response extra work was also paid from the General Fund that was budgeted for storm damage repairs. The total contract cost is $396,027.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose to not approve the Notice of Completion for Project. This is not recommended, since it would delay the final payment to the contractor and all construction work has been completed.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has reviewed and approved this item as to form.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
