Reason for Recommendation:
The Contract for the Green Valley Road Intersection Improvements at Silva Valley Parkway Project (Project) on Green Valley Road in the El Dorado Hills area was executed by the Board on June 20, 2006. Construction was completed on February 20, 2007. Issuance of the first Proposed Final Pay Estimate was delayed due to negotiations between Granite Construction Company (Contractor) and the Transportation Department (Department) regarding billings for extra work and subsequent delays to the submittal of the billings by the Contractor once the negotiations were complete.
The Contractor signed and returned the Notice of Completion on September 26, 2007, but also made exceptions to the Proposed Final Pay Estimate. Negotiations to resolve these exceptions involved a subcontractor and took several months to complete. Once resolved, the Department issued a second Proposed Final Pay Estimate to the Contractor, and after 30 days, the Contractor had not returned it. Per State of California Standard Specifications Section 9-1.07B, "On the Contractor's approval, or if the Contractor files no claim within the specified period of 30 days, the Engineer will issue a final estimate in writing in accordance with the proposed final estimate submitted to the Contractor."
The Board actions above will start legal time frames for guarantees, a lien period, and return of retention monies. The final Contract cost is summarized below:
Original Bid Price $1,131,829.16
Construction Contract Item Cost $1,237,400.51
Contract Change Orders $ 128,151.73
Final Cost of Construction $1,365,552.24
Major Contract Change Orders on this Project dealt with dust control, traffic control, water pollution control, and modification of a storm drain.
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.
