6.2.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er June 10, 2013 SUBJECT Final Acceptance — 2012-2013 Watermain Replacement Project RECOMMENDATION Accept, by motion, the 2012-2013 Watermain Replacement Project and authorize the release of bonds and retention according to City procedures. BACKGROUND The City systematically replaces sections of aging watermain infrastructure to ensure the continued reliability of the system and to provide for improved fire protection. Annually, Community Development Department staff identifies and targets for replacement pipeline sections that have experienced service disruptions, excessive maintenance requirements, or capacity limitations due to age and size. ANALYSIS On September 24, 2012 the City Council awarded the construction contract for the 2012-2013 Watermain Replacement Project to Casey Construction, Inc. of Redwood City in the amount of $838,170. Approximately 4,900 linear feet of deteriorated and undersized cast iron water pipeline was replaced with more durable PVC pipe. Improvements also included replacement of residential services, fire hydrants, and water valves to improve the quality, performance and reliability of the water system for customers. The project area included Encina Avenue, West Oakwood Boulevard, Oregon Avenue, Oliver Street, McKinley Street, Gordon Street and Johnson Street as shown on the attached map. The project has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and within the timeframe allowed by contract. Final walkthrough with the contractor and Public Works Services was performed April 06, 2013. The project was completed for a total cost of $844,436 which is 0.75% more than the original bid amount. One change order was issued for the amount of $6,266 resulting from quantity adjustments and modifications to the design due to unforeseen field conditions. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to accept the project or authorize the release of bonds and retention which would be contrary to the terms of the contract, prior Council action, and public contracting code.
