Background:
The Contract for the Angora Creek Stream Environment Zone Restoration Project (Project) was executed by the Board on January 25, 2005. The Project was constructed in two phases under one Contract. Phase 1 was completed on November 30, 2005. In accordance with the Contract Documents, the Transportation Department (Department) transmitted a Notice of Completion letter to Hanford Applied Restoration & Conservation (Contractor) for Phase 1, which also started the first year of the two-year vegetation establishment period for Phase 1.
Reason for Recommendation:
Phase 2 construction began in June 2006 and was suspended for the winter/spring season in December 2006 with a number of outstanding punch list items and unresolved Contractor claims. The Contractor performed vegetation establishment work in the summer and fall of 2007.
Negotiations regarding the Contractor's claims resulted in the Board authorizing the Chairman to sign the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release during Closed Session at the December 11, 2007 Board meeting. This Agreement settled all claims, released the Contractor from all punch list work, provided for the release of the retention monies as part of the Final Pay Estimate, and documented the Contractor's obligation to complete and the County's obligation to pay for one more year of vegetation establishment work in 2008. Therefore, Phase 2 of the Project was substantially completed on December 11, 2007.
The Board actions above will start legal time frames for guarantees and a lien period. Hanford Applied Restoration & Conservation acceptance of the final Contract cost for Phase 2 is attached and summarized below:
Original Bid Price: $609,999.06
Construction Contract Item Cost: $477,947.18
Contract Change Orders: $637,674.96
Final Cost of Construction: $1,115,622.14
Major Contract Change Orders on Phase 2 of this Project dealt with extra work associated with dewatering and backfilling the old creek channel.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) The Chairman will sign the Notice of Completion.
2) The Board Clerk will send the Notice of Completion to the Recorder/Clerk's Office for recordation and forward a copy of the recorded Notice of Completion to the Department.
