SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Completion of the Construction Contract for hopper Street
Pavement Rehabilitation Project
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council Adopt the Attached Resolution Accepting Completion
of the Construction Contract for Hopper Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
BACKGROUND
During the storm events of December 17, 2005 to January 3, 2006, record-setting heavy rains
resulted in prolonged surface runoff, roadway flooding and soil saturation which caused sections
of Hopper Street to subside. The subject project, among others, was approved for Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding to mitigate flood damage. The project
included reconstructing Hopper Street from Jefferson Street to the Corp Yard gates, including
baserock, paving, striping, pavement markers, and providing traffic control.
On September 15, 2008, the City Council awarded a construction contract for the Hopper Street
Pavement Rehabilitation Project to North Bay Construction in the amount of $496,651.05.
Subsequent to the award, the City applied for an encroachment permit with Sonoma Marin Area
Rail Transit (SMART) because an affected portion of Ilopper Street is in the SMART right -or -
way. As a condition of the permit, SMART required certain drainage improvements along the
railroad tracks that were outside of the work scope approved by FEMA. Staff appealed FEMA's
decision but on August 31, 2012, FEMA issued a final response denying the request to include
SMART's drainage improvements.
During the ongoing process with FEMA, the City Council terminated the contract with North,
Bay Construction on January 24, 2010 since the project had not progressed for two years and
they were in the process of closing and selling their business.
City staff continued to work with SMART to seek the encroachment permit and came to
agreement with SMART in the fall of 2013. Staff revised the design to remove all non -FEMA
approved storm drainage work from the plans. SMART approved an encroachment permit
application in February 2014 clearing the path for construction. The City recently received
approval of a time extension from FEMA, which was necessary to assure reimbursement for
construction costs. The contract was rebid and awarded to Team Ghilotti, Inc. on July 7, 2014 for
an estimated construction cost of $479,476.
The final construction contract cost is $504,803.87, which includes change orders for delays due
to unmarked PG&E utilities; additional work performed for potholing, unmarked PG&E high-
pressure gas mains, bid item overages, working around SMART stockpile materials and
abandoning an unused and unmarked existing manhole.
There are no disputed claims and the project was completed without any other significant
incidents.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The approved FY 14/15 budget for the Hopper Street Rehabilitation Project (F00228506) was
$669,776.00. With the construction contract, final quantities, change order work, construction
management and inspection, the total cost for the project, tabulated below, came in
approximately $29,000 less. It is anticipated that the work at Hopper Street will be reimbursed
by FEMA and Cal/Office of Emergency Services for actual costs of design, construction
management/inspection, and construction.
