RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
“Acceptance” of a construction contract is a legal event recognized by State law when the City verifies the contractor has satisfactorily completed a public project. Once accepted, the work on the public project is complete, and other actions occur, such as final payment to the contractor and the release of bonds obtained by the contractor that ensure completion of the project.
Following acceptance, the City becomes responsible for maintenance of the public project.
On June 22, 2021, the City Council approved plans and specifications for Calderon Avenue Bike Lanes, Mercy to El Camino Real, Project 20 -47, and authorized award of a construction contract if the low bid was within the project budget. The contract was awarded to VSS International, Inc., of Sacramento at the low -bid price of $318,000, including a $ 30,000 construction contingency.
The project included 79,135 square feet of microsurfacing, 1,390 square feet of new Class II green bicycle lanes, new high -visibility crosswalks at the Church Street and Calderon Avenue intersection, new traffic signal detection loops, new signs, and new striping.
The final construction cost of $293,022 is within the construction contract amount of $ 318,000 and included a final quantity adjustment change order resulting in contract savings of $ 24,978.
All work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
