Accept the project improvements as constructed by Insituform Technologies, LLC in accordance with the plans and specifications for the Arroyo Grande Creek Sewer Rehabilitation Project; 2. Direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and 3. Authorize release of retention, thirty-five (35) days after the Notice of Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: The amended Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $246,900 for the subject project. The total project cost (design, construction, administration, inspection, etc.) is estimated at $173,000. The contractor’s final construction cost is $146,516.46. The remaining funds will be returned to the Sewer Fund balance. The recommended action will not result in any impact on staff resources. BACKGROUND: On August 23, 2016, Council awarded a construction contract to perform the Arroyo Grande Creek Sewer Rehabilitation project to Insituform Technologies, LLC for $145,334 and authorized the City Manager to approve change orders in the amount of $14,533. The project involved the rehabilitation of approximately 2,435 linear feet of sewer pipe along Arroyo Grande creek east of Clarence Avenue to Paulding Circle, and for a section of pipe between North Mason Street and Crown Terrace, north of East Branch Street. Item 9.d. - Page 1 CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE ARROYO GRANDE CREEK SEWER REHABILITATION PROJECT, PW 2016-05 JANUARY 10, 2017 PAGE 2 ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The contractor completed the work in accordance with the approved plans and specifications ahead of contract timelines and within budget. There are no outstanding issues. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration: 1. Accept the Arroyo Grande Creek Sewer Rehabilitation project; 2. Do not accept the project; 3. Accept the project but do not authorize release of retention; or 4. Provide direction to staff. ADVANTAGES: The project is complete. Accepting the improvements will allow staff to close out the project. Remaining funds in this project account will be returned to the Sewer Fund balance. The project is consistent with the Council goal to support City infrastructure. 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: The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guideline Section 15301(b) for existing sewer facilities. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. Attachment: 1.
