DESCRIPTION:
At its meeting of April 17, 2012, the Dublin City Council awarded Contract No. 12-03, Positano
Hills Park, to Blossom Valley Construction.
Work under the Contract included the construction of a 4.6 acre park including basketball court,
restrooms, play areas, picnic areas as well as turf and landscaping. Staff, along with
representatives from Blossom Valley Construction, completed a walkthrough of the project on
April 8, 2013 and found only minor punch-list items that remain to be completed. Therefore,
Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept all final
improvements on the project and allow remaining punch list items to be completed as part of the
one-year warranty period.
The City presently holds a performance bond in the amount of $1,286,548 to provide the
necessary security for the performance of the work involved. As the work is now complete, the
performance security requirement can be reduced, in accordance with authority contained in
Section 66499.7 of the Government Code, to an amount necessary to guarantee warranty of the
work for a one-year period following acceptance of the work. The Contractor will provide a new
maintenance bond in the amount of $133,980 which is 10% of the final contract amount, and is
sufficient to cover the one-year guarantee period.
Upon City Council acceptance of the project, Staff will file a notice of completion with the
Alameda County Clerk.
