DESCRIPTION:
In April of 1988, the City Council awarded Contract 88-1A to B & B Concrete. The
"Major Arterials Soundwalls" project combines two contracts, one consisting of the
masonry wall along the east side of San Ramon Road, on Amador Valley Boulevard
between Village Parkway and Stagecoach Road, and along Dougherty Road at the Arroyo
Vista housing project, and the second being the replacement of wooden fences along
San Ramon Road.
During construction on San Ramon Road, considerable delay was caused by the
existence of an underground telephone cable near the proposed footing for the new
wall. Agreement was eventually reached that Pacific Bell would pay for the removal
of the existing fence north and south of Shannon Avenue so that the block wall could
be constructed on the property line rather than in the right-of-way. This decision
entailed acquiring easements from the affected homeowners.
The wall along Arroyo Vista, which is funded by CDBG monies, has been completed for
several months, and the County staff which oversees the CDBG program has requested
that the project be finaled. For this reason, and also in recognition of the
contractor's timely completion of the portions unaffected by the utility conflict,
the project is being divided into two phases for the purpose of acceptance. This
first phase includes walls on Amador Valley, Dougherty Road, and on San Ramon Road
between Bellina Street and the first house south of Vomac Road. The second phase
includes the work near Shannon Avenue which is scheduled for completion by
September.
The contr&c~or has signed a chanse order to e~tend t. is Frices; however, he has
requested release of his retention on the work done to date. The total design and
construction costs will be included in Phase II of the masonry soundwall project and
in the wood soundwall project; those costs will be delineated during the acceptance
of the final project. This financial statement shows construction costs only for
the Phase I work.
The City Engineer has reviewed work completed under Phase I of Contract 88-1A and
determined that it is complete and in accordance with approved plans, specifications
and modifications. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements
and anthorize payment of retention in the amount of $39,039.69 to B & B Concrete.
