Recordation of the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) will start legal time frames for guarantees, a lien period and return of retention monies. If there are no construction defects or warrantee claims during the one-year guarantee period, the Department will notify the Acting Clerk of the Board to release the Payment and Performance bonds one year after the NOA is recorded.
The construction budget for this Project, as reflected in the Department of Transportation's (Department) 2012 Capital Improvement Program, was $250,000. The total completed construction cost of the Project is listed below:

Construction Contract Item Cost $272,734.00
Contract Change Orders $ 4,614.30
Final Cost of Construction Contract $277,348.30
The Contract Change Orders on this Project dealt with working days contract extension due to utility conflicts and adjusting the unit price for tackifier application.
