BACKGROUND:
The Ygnacio Valley Library parking lot was assessed and it was determined that the parking lot required extensive repair and necessary American Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. The City of Walnut Creek awarded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the ADA improvements associated with the Ygnacio Valley Library parking lot repair project. The work consisted of removal of asphalt concrete surface paving, base material compaction, hot mix asphalt overlay, ADA ramp and crosswalk installation, and parking lot restriping. The Public Works Department formally solicited the project and GradeTech Inc., was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder awarded for this project.
A construction contract in the amount of $111,988 for the Ygnacio Valley Library Parking Lot and ADA Improvement Project was awarded on September 7, 2021, to GradeTech Inc., of Castro Valley. Change Order No. 1 was approved to increase the contract amount to $169,454.08 for additional costs incurred during the completion of the project.
The project has now been completed and the Public Works Director recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 2020/332 accepting the contract work as complete.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Acceptance of a contract as complete is standard procedure and allows for proper closeout of the contract. If the contract is not accepted as complete, the period for filing stop payment notices and bond claims may be extended and then Contra Costa County will incur expenses for additional contract administration.
