6.2A Page 1 R.E:PO'RT To the Honora.ble M.yor and City C.pu.neU F.ror,n the :.Ci :.M.apa .er July 13, 2009 SUBJECT Final Acceptance - Lower Stulsaft Park Prefabricated Restroom Building Replacement Project ReCOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Lower Stulsaft Park Prefabricated Restroom Building Replacement Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to city procedu res. BACKGROUND On January 12, 2009, Council awarded the construction contract for the Lower Stulsaft Park Prefabricated Restroom Building Replacement Project to McNabb Construction, Inc. The work of this project replaced the existing timeworn restroom facility with a new prefabricated structure. The new facility is compliant with the accessibility provisions of the American with Disabilities Act ("ADA") The prefabricated restroom structure was built at the manufacturer's warehouse and trucked to the site as three separate modules. The modules were set in place by crane and the structure was fully assembled within three days. The cost of any construction project is largely driven by the time involved to complete the construction. Both the use of a prefabricated unit and the method of on-site assembly significantly reduced the time required to construct and commission the restroom facility. The project was awarded for a base bid of $144,200.00. Construction began in January, 2009. The project has been successfully completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. One (1) change order in the amount of $2,670.00 .was issued to provide a drinking fountain compliant with ADA requirements. The final contract amount is $146,870.00 which is 1.850/0 more than the initially awarded contract amount. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to accept the project and/or not to authorize the release of bonds and retention which would be contrary to the terms of the contract, prior Council action, and the pUblic contracting code. FISCAL IMPACT The project fund balances of $6,496.29 ("Capital Projects Fund - Restroom Replacement Program") and -$1,250.00 ("Capital Projects Fund - Stulsaft Grant New Restroom") as of May 31, 2009 are sufficient to satisfy the expense generated by the change order activity.
