BACKGROUND:
The project consists of construction of two (2) hexagonal pre-fabricated steel shade structures that will be installed over two of the three existing picnic areas. Construction related activities included the installation of electrical outlets, excavation of structure footings, minor grading, and turf repairs.
On November 14, 2016, the County entered into a contract with McNabb Construction, Inc. for the Slifer Park Improvements. The contract work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and Change Orders Nos. 1 and 2, at a cost of $225,430.69. The park was opened to the public on March 30, 2018. The project acceptance includes a withholding amount in the amount of the retention ($11,271.53) to insure completion of the project closeout items.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Accepting a contract as complete is a 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.
