NO. 3252 - COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS:

DISCUSSION:
On April 11, 2000, the City Council authorized the award of the Grant Howald Athletic
Field Rehabilitation contract to Ecology Construction, Inc., of Canoga Park, California.
The contract provided for hydroseeding the field, a new irrigation system, new
landscaping, new fencing, a new storm drain system, parking lot pavement and other
miscellaneous work. The contract has now been completed to the satisfaction of the
Public Works Department. A summary of the contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $124,497.00
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 131,474.41
Total amount of change orders: 18,059.03
Final contract cost: $149,533.44
The increase in the amount of actual bid items constructed over the original bid amount
resulted from laying additional storm drain pipes and wall construction exceeding the
bid item quantities. The final overall construction cost including change orders was
20.1 percent over the original bid amount. All change orders exceeding the 10 percent
original bid cost had City Manager approval.

A total of two change orders were issued to complete the project. They were as
follows:
1. A change order in the amount of $8,313.53 provided for the increase in height
of a 160 -foot long retaining wall, exporting excess dirt and other minor
miscellaneous work.
2. A change order in the amount of $9,745.50 provided for the replacement of a
deteriorated chain link fence between the park and parking lot, the installation
of a bottom rail to the existing fence along 5t' Street and the placement of 180
feet of redwood headers.
Funds for the project were budgeted in the following account:

The scheduled completion date was June 19, 2000. Due to lack of full water coverage
because of low water pressure, hydroseeding had to be delayed until a booster pump
had been installed. This, coupled with added days given for extra work, extended the
project until August 15, 2000. Since the Community Services Department has
scheduled recreational programs starting in October 2000, the City relieved the
Contractor from the 90 -day establishment and maintenance period by deleting that item
from the contract. The City's Parks & Parkways Division has assumed the maintenance
of the park.
