Accept the project improvements as constructed by John Deere Green Tech in accordance with the plans and specifications for the Centralized Irrigation Project; 2. Direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: $135,000 was originally budgeted through the Capital Improvement Program for the Centralized Irrigation Project. The project budget was later amended to $93,550. The actual total construction cost for the subject project, including authorized construction changes, was $93,305. The total cost of the project, including all design, construction, contract administration and testing costs, was $93,540. BACKGROUND: On September 13, 2011, the Council awarded a construction contract to perform the Centralized Irrigation Project for $89,599.97 and authorized the City Manager to approve change orders up to 15% of the amount of contract. The project scope of work was to install a satellite based centralized irrigation system in most of the City's major parks and landscaped areas, including: • Rancho Grande Park, 500 James Way • Strother Park, 1150 Huasna Road • Heritage Square Park, 205 Nelson Street • City Hall / Olohan Alley area, including Kiwanis Park, Centennial Park, 214 East Branch, 300 East Branch, and 100 Olohan Alley • Kingo Park, Courtland and Loganberry Streets • Parkside Park, 401 N. Bakeman • Hart - Collett Memorial Park, 201 Traffic Way Item 8.c. - Page 1 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE NT LI D IRRIGATION J CT MAY 14, 2013 PAGE 2 ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The contractor has completed the work and constructed all project improvements in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. There are no outstanding issues. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration: - Approve staff's recommendations; - Do not accept the project improvements; or - Provide direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: The project is complete. Accepting the improvements will allow staff to close out the project and return any remaining funds to the fund balance. This system will allow the City to manage its irrigation system more efficiently. Of particular importance, it will now be more feasible for staff to shut off sprinklers during wet weather. DISADVANTAGES: The disadvantage of accepting the improvements would be if subsequent deficiencies in the work are identified. However, the contract documents include a one -year warranty period for the contractor to address any construction defects that may arise. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: No environmental review was required for this item. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted in front of City Hall on Thursday, May 9, 2013. The Agenda and report were posted on the City's website on Friday, May 10, 2013. No public comments were received. Attachment: 1.
