Notice of Completion for Contract No. LP-0655 – Rehabilitation of Reservoirs 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 Recommendation
A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities and equipment and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; B. Accept the work by Capital Industrial Coatings, LLC regarding City Contract No. LP-0655; and C. 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 April 5, 2022, the City Council awarded City Contract No. LP-0655 – Rehabilitation of Reservoirs 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 (Project) to Capital Industrial Coatings, LLC, in the amount of $2,033,308. The Project consisted of removing existing interior and exterior reservoir paintings and coatings, installing a new three-stage epoxy interior coating, and painting the exterior. One change order was issued during the project that modified the scope of work to include holiday testing, as-needed repairs, disinfection of the three reservoirs, and installation of two-level indicators, one each on Reservoirs 2-1 and 2-3. No additional funds were requested for the change order, as the Project was under budget, and the remaining funds were sufficient to cover the change order.
The total amount spent on the Project was $1,988,889, $44,419 less than the budgeted amount.
The Project was completed on January 24, 2024, in accordance with the Project specifications and City staff requirements. The Project was funded with bond proceeds from the Water System Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A.
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 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 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 May 7, 2024. The Notice of Completion has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.
