A. Accept the work by Capital Industrial Coatings, LLC regarding City Contract No. LP-0584; and B. Authorize the General Manager of Public Utilities to execute and submit the Notice of Completion to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
Background
On March 2, 2021, City Council awarded City Contract No. LP-0584 – Rehabilitation of Reservoirs 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 (Project) to Capital Industrial Coatings, LLC, in the amount of $1,747,100. The Project consisted of removal of the existing interior and exterior reservoir paintings and coatings, installation of a new three-stage epoxy interior coating and painting of the exterior. Three change orders were issued during the project due to unforeseen conditions that modified the scope of work to include: installation of lateral braces, additional square footage to be painted/coated, steel fabrications, and structural repairs.
The change orders issued added $277,856.10 to the Project, resulting in a contract total of $2,024,956.10. Upon completion of the project, the total amount expended was $2,018,550.60.
The Project was completed on May 8, 2023, in accordance with the Project specifications and City Staff expectations. The Project was funded with bond proceeds from the Water System Revenue Bonds, 2020 Series A.
Filing a Notice of Completion is standard practice to close out projects as it shortens the time for contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and equipment lessors to record a lien, serve a stop payment notice, or make a payment bond claim. Therefore, staff recommends accepting the completed work for the Rehabilitation of Reservoirs 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 by Capital Industrial Coatings, LLC. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 8180(b), completion occurs on acceptance for work subject to acceptance by a public entity. The recordation of this work will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk with an official Notice of Completion dated June 6, 2023.
The Notice of Completion has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
