DATE: March 12, 2024
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Consider accepting the 191 Tally Ho Road Frontage Improvements Project and beginning
the one-year warranty period for defects that may arise.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The final contract cost of $84,212 and change orders from contingency of $1,764 resulted
in a total construction cost of $85,976 to the City.
This project was identified in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program budget and
funded from sales tax in the amount of $110,000. The $85,976 in construction costs is
within the funding available for this project. The remaining budget is being applied to the
asphalt repair in front of 191 Tally Ho Road, which is assoc iated with the 2022 Streets
Repair Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Accept the project improvements as constructed by JJ Fisher Construction, Inc. in
accordance with the plans and specifications for the 191 Tally Ho Road Frontage
Improvements Project, PW 2023-09;
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.

At its August 8, 2023 meeting, the City Council awarded a construction contract to JJ
Fisher Construction, Inc., to complete the 191 Tally Ho Road Frontage Improvements

cost) for unanticipated costs during the construction phase of this project. The contractor’s
final construction cost for the project, including contingency, is $85,976.
The 191 Tally Ho Road Frontage Improvements Project consisted of acquisition of private
property that protruded into the vehicle travel way in exchange for street Right of Way,
grading, replacement of retaining walls, and a fence, drainage, utility relocation, and site
cleanup. The installation of concrete curb and gutter and the resurfacing of the street
were completed as part of the annual Pavement Management Program.
This project was deemed substantially complete on January 26, 2024, at which time City
staff and the contractor documented a punch list of minor items that needed to be
addressed prior to considering the project fully complete. Those items include epoxying
wall caps, removing debris, placing topsoil, finishing elements to the fence posts , and
resolution to the western gap between the fence and sidewall. The last of these items
was completed on February 2, 2024.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The contractor has completed the work in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications within the contract time frame, under the available budget, and there are
no deficiencies that have been noted by city staff and no complaints have been received .
It is, therefore, recommended that the City Council accept the 191 Tally Ho Road
Frontage Improvement Project and begin the one-year warranty period for defects that
may arise.
Shown below are a before and after view of the project.
