RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/6 accepting as complete the construction contract work performed by SMC Construction, Inc., for the Hemme Station Park, 1193 Danville Boulevard, Alamo, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director. (District II)


DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to file with the County Recorder a certified copy of Resolution No. 2018/6 and the attached Notice of Completion no later than fifteen (15) days after adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County Service Area R-7A.

BACKGROUND:

The project consists of construction of a new neighborhood park on a formerly vacant County-owned lot at the corner of Danville Boulevard and Hemme Avenue and adjacent to the Iron Horse Trail. The park includes restrooms, drinking fountains and a water station, bike racks, benches, picnic tables, a shade structure, trash and recycling cans, a pet waste disposal station, a decomposed granite walking path, a central turf area, seat walls, landscaping, irrigation, fencing, and a train-themed play structure for tots. The constructed facilities are accessible, per the American Disabilities Act guidelines.

On July 12, 2016, the County entered into a construction contract with SMC Construction, Inc., for the Hemme Station Park Project. The contract work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and Change Orders Nos. 1 through 5, at a cost of $1,186,281.97. The park was opened to the public on September 23, 2017. The project acceptance includes a withholding amount in the amount of the retention ($59,314.10) to ensure completion of project closeout items, plus $5,250 for the remaining 9 months until September 23, 2018, of the landscape and irrigation maintenance period.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Accepting a contract as complete is standard procedure, is required by law following substantial completion and public use of the project, and allows for proper closeout of the project. If the contract is not accepted as complete, the period for filing stop payment notices and bond claims on the contract may be extended.
