vandalism. The Director of Engineering was authorized to approve and execute any required contract changes orders up to an amount equal to the new contingency. Work on the project began August 2018 and the locker rooms were reopened to the public on April 23, 2019. The pool facility remained open during construction with use of temporary trailer-contained locker rooms and shower facilities. Final punch list repairs that require the closure of the facility were delayed due to scheduled summer programs. These repairs are scheduled for fall 2019 when the entire aquatic facility is closed for annual maintenance. The one-year warranty bond in place will ensure this work is complete. DISCUSSION The work completed by Saboo, Inc. consisted of renovating the existing 2,600 square- foot locker rooms, installation of exterior showers and replacement of exterior fencing and gates for a total of $2,199,760.93. The project had eight change orders for a total of $209,760.93 of the approved $212,485 contingency. The final project funding and expenditures are summarized in Attachment 1, indicating a total project expenditure of $2,332,839 and a remaining balance of$83,662. Staff recommends the transfer of the remaining balance back to the CIP General Fund Reserve. The project designer Arch Pac, Inc. completed shop drawing reviews, RFIs and site inspections throughout the project construction. Carlson Management, Inc. provided project management support during the first couple months of the project. ENGEO, Inc. provided specialty inspections for the project, including concrete and soil density testing. Bay Area Security provided fire alarm modifications and updates excluded from the project contract. Due to heavy use of the pool in summer, some punch list work remains. The punch list work will occur when the entire pool facility closes in the fall. Despite the outstanding punch list work, it is recommended that the project be accepted as complete and the Notice of Completion be filed with the County Recorder. The one-year warranty bond will ensure completion of the punch list work. There is a "Stop Payment" claim on the project due to a dispute between Saboo, Inc. and the claimant regarding the amount of money the claimant was paid compared to what they believe they are owed for their work on the project. While the City is not involved with the claim itself, the City is required to withhold further payment to Saboo, Inc. until the issue is resolved, which, as of the writing of this report, appears to be heading to a court for a final resolution. Filing the Notice of Completion will start the 30-day period during which other subcontractors or material suppliers must file a "Stop Payment" claim if they have a payment dispute. If they fail to file within the 30-day period, they forfeit their right to do so. From the City's perspective, filing the Notice of Completion now will ensure there are no unknown additional debts associated with the Saboo, Inc. contract. Assuming no other "Stop Payment" claims are filed within the 30-day period, final payment and retention release will be released to Saboo, Inc. a minimum 30 days after the Notice of Completion is recorded, and the existing claim is Page 3 of 4
