ITEM EXPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO X)
T. B. Penick and Sons, Inc. has completed the construction
of public improvements, except for the ornamental street
lights, on Third Avenue between "E" Street and "F" Street,
Phase One. The contract dated March 19, 1979, was awarded
by City Council Resolution 9505 on February ?_0, 1979.
The City Council has granted three extensions of time to the
contract changing the completion date to January, 9, 1980.
The original contract completion date was September 7, 1979.
The purpose of the time extensions was to allow for delivery
of the ornamental street lights. The .lights have been
delivered and installed, except for 14 light standards. Of
these 14 standards, 3 were broken in transit and have been
reordered, but will require up to 1.?_ weeks for manufacturing
and delivery. Two light standards are in the contractor's
yard and 9 light standards have not been delivered by the
manufacturer. The 9 lig hts were shipped by Consolidated
Freight on December 10, 1979. Tracers have been sent out,
but to date the location of the 9 standards is unknown.

Supplemental Page Two
T. B. Penick and Sons, Inc. has requested that the City
accept the public improvements of Third Avenue, between "E"
Street and "F" Street, Phase One. All work except the
street lights has been completed in accordance with the
plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the City
Eng ineer .
The foundations and wiring for the street light standards
not in place are adequately protected and not considered a
hazard. T. B. Penick and Sons, Inc. have agreed to promptly
place the missing lig ht standards immediately on the arrival
of the shipment.
Engineering staff has reviewed the request of T. B. Penick
and agrees that to withhold acceptance of the project would
be an unreasonable burden to the contractor for a problem
beyond his control. T. B. Penick and Sons has made every
effort to complete the work within the specified time frame
and has expended considerable unplanned time and money in an
attempt to fulfill his obligation to the City.
I am recommending that the City Co uncil accept the public
improvements and that the City withhold the amount of
$68,618.14 (10 percent retention) until all the street light
standards have been installed.
The final construction cost of $686,181.35 is 9.8~ under the
contract cost. This reduction is due to the fact that the
water company made connections to the domestic service lines
when the water meters were relocated thus saving the City
approximately 53,000. The remainder of the savings is due
to changes made to the landscaping, root barriers and
imported base material.
