TITLE: Resolution /O6~~Accepting Contract Work, Memorial
Park, Division IV
ITTED BY: City Engineer l~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes No x )
G orge Wimpey of California, Inc. has completed the contract
w rk, Division IV, for the improvement of Memorial Park. The
tract dated March 23, 1981, was awarded by Council Resolution
1 402 on February 24, 1981. This is one of four contracts
a arded for the improvement of Memorial Park and consisted of
e rthwork, concrete flatwork and other miscellaneous
c nstruction. It is my
R~COM MENDATION: That Council accept the contract work for
D vision IV, Memorial Park Improvements.
BpARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DXSCUSSION:
T e project has been completed and a final inspection was made on
0 tober 14, 1981. All work has been completed in accordance with
t e contract plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of
t e City Engineer.
A though all work was completed within the total approved
c ntract cost amount (original contract cost - approved change
o ders), there was extra work performed in the amount of
$ ,759.27 that did not change the scope of the project. It
c nsisted of importing additional fill material, recompacting,
r forming and placing new column footings already constructed.
T ere was a discrepancy on the plans of the difference in
e evation between the building and the shuffle board courts. The
L ndscape Architect, the Pekarek Group, worked from a topographic
m p prepared for the City by Phillips-Reynolds Association. The
b ilding was shown 1/2 foot high a..d the shuffle board court was
1 2 foot low creating a discrepancy of 1 foot. This discrepancy
w s not discovered in the field by our inspection personnel until
a ter the original work mentioned above had been nearly completed.
A you will recall this project was bid twice as one contract and
t en broken into four contracts and rebid. By doing that, we
s ved approximately $100,000 in the contract costs. If the

project had been done by one contractor, the discrepancy probably
ould have been discovered in time. There is risk involved in
a ting as the general contractor, however, in this case the
trade-off was that we saved $100,000 opposed to the error of
$ ,759.27.
T e extra work was not the fault of the contractor and the extra
w rk should be approved. We believe there may be some liability
o the part of the consultant, however, we will investigate that
m tter further and return with a report.
