DESCRIPTION:
On June 17, 2014 the City Council awarded Contract Number 14-04, Positano Hills Park
Playground to Suarez and Munoz Construction, Incorporated. Work included expanding the
size of the play area designed for children ages five to twelve. The enlarged space includes two
additional swings and a deck system play structure, as well as the relocated rope bridge, the
planting of four larger trees and replacement landscaping. 'Before' and 'After' photos are shown
in Attachment#1.
The play area was opened on October 15, 2014. Temporary fencing is currently up to protect
the newly planted sod until it is established. Staff subsequently completed a walkthrough and
found that only minor punch list items remain. With that in mind, 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 $131,000 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 $13,238 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. Staff will release the remaining retention on the project 35-days after
filing the Notice of Completion provided there are no claims.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of the Staff Report was sent to Suarez and Munoz Construction, Incorporated.
