The up-slope side of <br />an existing access road has experienced erosion. This road serves park maintenance <br />vehicles, fire trucks and hikers. The project added a new retaining wall to mitigate the <br />erosion and stabilize the steep slope. <br /> <br />On August 24, 2015, Council awarded the construction contract for the Stulsaft Park <br />Retaining Wall to Condon-Johnson & Associates, Inc. of Oakland. The project was <br />awarded for a base bid of $374,964.00. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />The project was successfully completed in accordance with City specifications. Three <br />contract change orders totaling (-$3,852.72) were issued for final quantity adjustments <br />and minor changes to the project scope. The final contract amount is $371,111.28, <br />approximately 1% less than the initial contract amount. <br /> <br />Improvements completed as part of the project include: <br />1) Construction of steel soldier pile retaining wall with shotcrete facing and concrete <br />lined drainage behind wall. <br />2) Construction of storm drainage improvements and realign existing unlined V- <br />ditch. <br />3) Final grading behind new wall. <br />4) Dust alleviation and control; and site cleanup. <br /> <br />Construction began in November 2015 and concluded slightly ahead of schedule in <br />April 2016. The project area has reopened and is available for use by park visitors. A <br />photo of the completed project is also attached to this report. <br />6.2.A. - Page 1
