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 p roject.
Following acceptance, the City becomes responsible for maintenance of the public project.
On December 1, 2020, the City Council approved plans and specifications for Mora Park, Project 17-46, and authorized award of a construction contract if the low bid was within the project budget. The contract was awarded to Galeb Paving, Inc of Saratoga, California, at the low-bid price of $1,116,020, including a $120,000 construction contingency. The 0.45-acre park located at Mora Place and Ortega Avenue features a lawn area, a loop pathway , fitness equipment, benches, picnic tables, and a play area.
The final construction cost of $1,032,076 is within the construction contract amount of $1,116,020 and included three contract change orders for the total amount of $48,022 and a final quantity adjustment change order resulting in contract savings of $ 83,944. All work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

Parking Restrictions
During construction of the park, two-hour parking restriction signs were installed along the park frontages to ensure there would be on-street parking available for the Mora Park users. In order to keep these signs installed and enforce the parking restriction, staff recommends Council adopt the resolution, included as Attachment 1, which establishes a two -hour parking zone along the park frontage, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except Sundays and public holidays. The two-hour parking zone would be along Mora Park ’s full public street frontages on Ortega Avenue and Mora Place (see Figure 1).
