RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/208 accepting as complete the construction contract work performed by Hess Construction Co., Inc., (Hess) for the El Sobrante Mini Park Improvements, 4191 Appian Way, El Sobrante, as recommended by the Public Works Director. (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

Voter-approved Measure WW allocated grant funds to local parks for improvements. Special Districts, in conjunction with Supervisor Gioia’s Staff, El Sobrante Library Staff, and members of San Pablo Watershed Neighbors Education and Restoration Society (SPAWNERS), developed improvements for El Sobrante Mini Park, which included rehabilitation the existing parking lot and renovation of the existing landscape and recreational facilities on the County land adjacent to the Library. On September 13, 2016, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Public Works Director to execute a construction contract with Hess for the improvements. The work included the removal of the deteriorating parking lot surface and replacement with pervious concrete to meet County C.3 Clean Water requirements, renovation of the existing landscaping along all the above-mentioned landscaped walkways, and improvement of landscaping around the reading garden. An existing open space located at the rear of the library was also converted into a plaza with a raised podium for events.

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.
