DESCRIPTION: In February, 1985, the City Council
awarded Contract 84-9, Village Parkway Sidewalk and Landscaping
to MCE Corporation. The project provided for the installation of
sidewalk and landscaping adjacent to the soundwall on the~ west
side of Village Parkway between Amador Valley Boulevard and
Kimball Avenue.
The improvements consisted of concrete sidewalk between the
existing curb and sidewalk with trees spaced at 34 feet and shrub
and vines planted against the soundwall. Staff recommended that
concrete be substituted for the quarry waste behind the sidewalk
which was originally designed to keep the project within budget.
A budget transfer or $29, 500 was authorized from the substantial
savings on the three (3) signals project to accomplish this
substitution.
During the construction phase, the City Engineer authorized
removal of an additional 500 square feet of depressed sidewalk.
Upon acceptance by the City Council, a 90-day maintenance period
will begin, during which time the contractor is responsible for
the condition of the landscaping. Final payment will be made at
the end of this period if all landscaping is in order.
The City Engineer has reviewed the improvements and found them to
be in accordance with the approved plans, specifications and
modifications. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the
improvements and authorize the partial retention payment of
$11,591.10.
During the formulation of the 1985-86 Budget it was anticipated
that this project would be completed by June 30, 1985. This did
not occur and therefore the City will incur approximately $6,000
in inspection and improvement costs during Fiscal Year 1985-86,
which were not budgeted for. Thus it is necessary to appropriate
additional funds from the Street Improvement Reserve for this
project in Fiscal Year 1985-86.
