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