DESCRIPTION:
In April, 1985, the City Council awarded Contract 85-2 (Landscaping
and Irrigation of Dublin Blvd., Amador Valley Blvd., and village Parkway) to
Valley Crest Landscaping, Inc. The project provided for the installation of
landscaping (trees, shrubs, and ground cover), irrigation, and interlocking
paving stones in the medians of the abovementioned streets. During the
construction phase, the City Engineer authorized additional drains under the
trees in the medians on Dublin Blvd. to insure a healthy growing period and
the installation of additional pull boxes for the future traffic
interconnect on village Parkway.
In addition to the standard one-year contractor's construction
warranty, the agreement also provides for a one-year guarantee for all
Yrees, shrubs, and ground cover, dating from the final acceptance by the
City Council.
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 retention payment of $36,376.91.
During the preparation of the 1985/86 Budget, it was anticipated
that more of this project would be completed during 1984/85 than actually
occurred. This resulted in budgeting of insufficient funds during 1985/86
to cover the cost of the project. In the 1985/86 Budget, $250,682.00 was
allocated to this project, while the City's actual costs during 1985/86 are
$280,862.33. Since the City underspent during 1984/85, there are sufficient
reserves set up in this project account to cover the difference, but it is
necessary for the City Council to authorize an additional appropriation from
this reserve. It is therefore recommended that the City Council make an
additional appropriation from the Reserve for Authorized Projects to this
project in the amount of $30,200.00.
