The contracted work has been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works
Department. A summary of the construction cost is as follows:

Final Contract Cost:
$ 1,026,120.96
$ 1,026,120.96
$ 35,072.90
$ 1,061,193.86
The final total contract amount was $1,061,193.86, which was approximately 3.42%
higher than the original bid amount. This cost increase was primarily due to change order
requests from City of Newport Beach staff for additional planting south of Hospital Road
and installing improved irrigation boxes, and dealing with unanticipated conditions during
construction, such as discovering asphalt underneath the soil in both areas of the project
and fixing vandalized irrigation boxes.
A summary of the project schedule milestones is as follows:
Estimated Start of Construction per Annual Baseline Schedule February 12, 2024
Actual Start of Construction Per Notice to Proceed March 11,2024
Estimated Contract Completion Date per Annual Baseline August 30,2024
Schedule
Actual Substantial Construction Completion Date July 23, 2024
Due to rain impacts in the spring, the start of the construction was delayed, and additional
days were added due to increased grow/kill time and for the landscape work that was
added south of Hospital Road. The beginning of the maintenance period marks the start
of the substantially complete date, which was still ahead of the contract completion date.

Highway) and West Coast Highway Landscaping Improvements (West City Limits to
Highland St.) project was included within the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program
