6.2.D. - Page 1 To the Honorable Mayor and City Cou nci I From the City Manager J u ne 13, 2011 SUBJECT Final Acceptance — Maddux and Stafford Parks Sand Play Area Renovation RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Maddux and Stafford Parks Sand Play Area Renovation Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to city procedures. BAC KG RO U N D On October 11, 2010, Council awarded the construction contract for the Maddux and Stafford Parks Sand Play Area Renovation Project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Silicon Valley Builders of San Jose, for their bid of $82,659.00. This project removed the sand from the sand play areas and replaced it with ADA compliant rubberized play surfacing and added water features with new frog sculptures at Maddux Park and a new snail sculpture at Stafford Park. The work at Maddux Park was substantially completed and was re-opened for use on January 22, 2011. The tot area was re-opened at Stafford on January 29, 2011. The Maddux and Stafford Parks Sand Play Area Renovation Project was successfully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications for a total contract cost of $84,801.00. Change orders were issued for the sum total of $2,142.00, which is 2.6% more than the contract amount originally awarded. The sole change order was issued to substitute a spring-loaded actuator for an air-loaded one on the supply to the water feature at Stafford Park to conserve water. It is much easier to temporarily modify a spring-loaded actuator which may allow water to remain on past the period of time it is needed. Formal acceptance of this project was delayed until the preferred device was received and installed. The city did not charge the contractor for liquidated damages nor did the contractor file a delay claim as a result. The contract allowed 60 days for project completion and substantial completion was achieved at both sites within the time allowed by contract. Construction at Maddux Park started November 18, 2010 and substantial completion was achieved on January 22, 2011. Construction at Stafford Park started on November 29, 2010 and substantial completion was achieved on January 29, 2011.
