6.2.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er May 20, 2013 SUBJECT Final Acceptance — Belmont Slough Maintenance Dredging Project RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the Belmont Slough Maintenance Dredging Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to city procedures. BACKGROUND On June 25, 2012 Council awarded the construction contract for the Belmont Slough Maintenance Dredging Project. Silt deposits in the Belmont Slough had accumulated over the years which prevented the flap gates from opening. Water from the lagoon was unable to discharge into the slough creating water quality issues. The project was designed to improve the water quality and serviceability of the Redwood Shores storm drainage system that includes the lagoons. The work consisted of removing and disposing of the silt from two 60-inch discharge pipelines under Marine Parkway and dredging approximately 2,000 cubic yards of silt within Belmont Slough. ANALYSIS The contract was awarded for a base bid of $318,691.50. The project was successfully completed in accordance with the plans and specifications. Credit change order was issued totaling $658.09. The final contract amount is $318,033.41. Construction started in mid October 2012 and was completed in mid-December 2012. Acceptance was delayed due to receipt of a complaint letter from Foundation of Fair Contracting. The complaint has been resolved satisfactorily. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to accept the project and/or 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 Sufficient funding for this construction agreement was previously approved under GID 1-64 Maintenance and Operation Fund— Marine Parkway Pump Station.
