E., Principal Engineer • Engineering and Transportation Departure t SUBJECT PROJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE WORK FOR THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) RAMP PROJECT 09 -10, PROJECT NO. 09- 165 -43 -216. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends acceptance of the work, filing • of the Notice of Completion, and upon completion to the satisfaction of the City Engineer of the one -year maintenance period, hereby authorizes the City Manager to release the Maintenance Bond for the subject project. BACKGROUND The City has approximately 2,000 sidewalk curb returns citywide that do not have wheelchair ramps and do not meet current Federal standards. To meet these requirements, the City has a transition plan and a budgeted goal of installing 30 ramps each year. Analysis A contract was awarded to Spencon Construction, Inc. on September 21, 2009 in the amount of 5298.700. Construction and punch list work was completed on October 29, 2010. The project constructed 239 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps citywide. To efficiently use our funding, ramp installations were coordinated with other CIP projects, including: the East 14` Street Striping Project, the West Broadmoor Roundabout Project, the I3ancroft Avenue Rehabilitation, and the Park Pathways Project. The contractor's bid for the work was below the engineer's estimate so the City Manager authorized change orders to use all budgeted funds to increase the amount of work done, and as a result the change order amount exceeded the 25% change order limit.
