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 the maintenance of the public project.
Magical Bridge All-Inclusive Playground, Project 18-36, and Rengstorff Park Maintenance/ Tennis Building Replacement, Project 21-48
Due to the timing and proximity of overlapping areas of work and the interdependence of the two projects, both Magical Bridge All -Inclusive Playground, Project 18 -36, and Rengstorff Park Maintenance and Tennis Building Replacement, Project 21 -48, were packaged as a combined construction contract for bidding purposes. This approach allowed a single contractor to manage the sequencing and order of work between the playground and maintenance and tennis building projects and avoid potential conflicts.
City Council took numerous actions related to both projects, with those actions specific to the construction contract for the two projects as follows:
