ITEM NO. 4.6 Page 1 of 2 Submitted By Reviewed By Reviewed By Parks and Community Administrative Assistant City Manager Services Director Services Director DESCRIPTION: The 2012-2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Civic Center Modification Design and Construction Project (Project No. 930006). The work undertaken with this project included Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades to the public counters in City Hall and Police Services, and reconfiguration of several office and cubicle areas to create additional work spaces without expanding the building footprint. The project also included outfitting several conference rooms and the Regional Meeting Room with modern audio-visual equipment. This has provided for more flexibility and productive meetings with resources readily available such as GIS data and City information systems and databases, as well as expanded video conferencing abilities. Since the new equipment is built-in, the City will no longer have to spend staff time setting up portable equipment in various rooms. Contract No. 12-12 was awarded by the City Council to Agbayani Corporation on October 16, 2012. Subsequently, at the January 15, 2013 meeting, the City Council approved several change orders including an expanded flooring scope to re-carpet the public areas of City Hall and Police Services. Construction is substantially complete with the exception of final modifications at the Police Services Counter. This area is due to be installed the first week of June. Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept the improvements. The City presently holds a performance bond 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 $37,704, which is 10% of the final contract amount ($377,035), and is sufficient to cover the one-year warranty period. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: Upon final acceptance a Notice of Completion will be filed with Alameda County. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
