The project <br />budget has sufficient allocation to fund the increased cost. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Downtown Parking Garage exterior was designed to complement and fit in with existing <br />downtown building architecture and not appear as a typical parking structure. The garage <br />construction contract included only minimal signage. To increase parking usage, improved <br />and attractive signage was desired to make the facility more inviting and to make the <br />entrances easier to find. Subsequently, the City entered into a construction contract with A <br />Good Sign and Graphics Co. to install signage at three locations at the Downtown Parking <br />Garage. Authorization was not included in the awarding resolution for change orders on this <br />project and therefore this action provides for this ability. <br />Analysis <br />Site conditions encountered during installation were different from those anticipated during the <br />design phase, electrical conduits thought to have room for new wires were found to be full. <br />Additional work to install new electrical conduits and complete the project is required. <br />Previous Actions <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 1/26/2016
