COMPLETION OF LOWER PIER AVENUE PROJECT

Recommendation:

That the City Council receive this report and ratify actions taken by the City Manager.

Background:

As you know, the contract was terminated on December 3, 1997. Staff is now working with the bonding company (Redlands Insurance) to complete the project in accordance with the original design.

An agreement between the City and bonding company is being completed that holds the City harmless from all claims, including the former contractor and sub-contractors, and covers the City's costs for completing the project.

A construction coordinator has been retained by the City to assist staff in completing the work in accordance with the approved design and specifications. The cost of the coordinator will be covered as part of the settlement with the bond company.

The construction coordinator is now obtaining cost estimates for the remaining items of work to be completed as well as those items that were determined to be unacceptable and either must be redone or replaced. Once all of the work is estimated, a work plan will be developed to get these items done as quickly as possible.
