REQUEST FOR COUNCII, ACTION DATE: 12/ 1 1/O 1 ITEM NO.: �-2 Dep me Approval: 1�Tanager Reviewed: Agenda Section: � `� +��?.�' CohSen f Item Description: Final contract acceptance for City Project M-00-20: Cleveland Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Background: The Cleveland Avenue Storm Sewer Improvement Project includes installation of 875 feet of RCP pipe and associated storm sewer structures along the east side of Cleveland Avenue from Twin Lakes Regional Pond to Wilson Pond. The project also includes site restoration to the project area and bituminous patching and curb and gutter repair where the pipe crosses County Road C2. The contract for this work was awarded to F.M Frattalone Excavating on November 13, 2000. Most of the work was completed late fa11 of 2000, final punch list items were recently completed and the contractor has requested final payment. Policy objectives: City policy requires that the following items be completed to finalize a construction contract: • Certification from the City Engineer verifying that all of the work has been completed in accordance with plans and specifications. . A resolution by the City Council accepting the contract and beginning the one-year warranty. Financial implications: This contract has been funded through the Storm Utility Fund. The final contract amount, $77,966.99 is $9,966.99 greater than the awarded amount of $68,000.00. This represents an overrun of appro�mately 14.6%. The overrun is due to additional bituminous and concrete paving. The e�sting storm pipe, which we connected to, was shallower than indicated on record drawings. This required the installation of concrete aprons on the driveways to structurally protect the new pipe from the semi truck traffic passing over it. Even with the overrun, we are within the budgeted project amount of $80,000. Staff recommendation: All necessary items have been completed in accordance with proj ect plans and specifications. Since a11 items ha�e been completed as outlined in the policy regarding final contract acceptance, staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution accepting the work completed as the Cleveland Avenue Storm Sewer Improvement Project and authorize final payment of $22,867.74. The total amount paid for this contract is $77,966.99.
