6.2.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er September 10, 2012 SUBJECT Final Acceptance — Marlin Park Play Area Renovation Project RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Marlin Park Play Area Renovation Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to city procedures. BACKGROUND On February 27, 2012, Council awarded the construction contract for the Marlin Park Play Area Renovation Project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Suarez & Munoz Construction Inc. of Hayward, for $182,470. ANALYSIS The project, located in Redwood Shores, included a new concrete walkway, new shade trees and irrigation, new play equipment, upgraded subsurface drainage, a new enclosed toddler play area, new drinking fountain, new trash and recycling enclosures, new benches and two new ADA accessible picnic areas. The accessible parking area near the playground was also updated. The sand in the play areas was replaced with certified playground wood chips to provide fall protection and wheelchair accessibility throughout the play areas. Unlike previous renovation park projects that removed and discarded existing structures and play equipment, this project reused posts, footings, and other reusable parts. This generated a cost savings of approximately $30,000 and reduced the amount of material for disposal into a landfill. The Marlin Park Play Area Renovation Project was successfully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and within the time allowed for a total contract cost of $199,681.01. Change orders were issued for the sum total of $17,211.01, which is 9.4% more than the awarded contract amount. Change orders were issued to remove and dispose of unforeseen concrete footings, modifying the top and bottom rails for the chain link fencing, and quantity adjustments for concrete paving and sod. Marlin Park was re-opened to the public on Saturday, August 4, 2012.
