Discussion:
In December 2022, the City was required to pay a deposit in the amount of $75,190.75 to secure 2022 pricing and begin the manufacturing process on the play structure. Onsite work began on October 12, 2023, with the demolition of the existing play equipment, expansion of the play area and installation of the new play structure and amenities. The project was finalized on November 15, 2023. A payment in the amount of $290,460.12 was issued to the contractor on November 21, 2023, representing the balance due less the five percent retention withholding ($15,287.36).
Per California Public Contract Code §7107(c), within 60 days after the recordation of the Notice of Completion, the City can release the final retention monies withheld on this project, provided there are no claims or unreleased liens against the contract.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept as complete and approve the Notice of Completion for the Eva Dell Park Playground Replacement project and authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion.
Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have.
