DISCUSSION: Overall Contract Cost/Time Summary Awarded Final Cost at Contingency Actual % Due to % Due to Contract Amount Completion Allowance Contract Directed Unforeseen Change Change Change $501,089.61 $506,532.91 10% or less 1.1% 0.48% 0.53% Allowed Contract Time + 74 Actual Time -7 Approved Extensions (days) = Under (-) or Over (+) During the recent drought, state regulations were enacted prohibiting use of potable water to irrigate medians planted with turf grass. To comply with this new requirement as well as reduce water demand, the irrigation on this median was turned off and staff proposed this project to remove the existing turf grass and replace it with a new California friendly drought tolerant landscape palette. The work necessary for the completion of this contract consisted of clearing and grubbing, landscape replacement and maintenance, irrigation system improvements, and all other incidental items of work necessary to complete the work in place. The contracted work has been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. A summary of the construction cost is as follows: Original bid amount: $501,089.61 Actual Cost of Bid Items Constructed: $494,688.15 Total Change Orders: $11,844.76 Final Contract Cost: $506,532.91 Less plants were needed than originally estimated, resulting in a $6,401.46 cost reduction. In an effort to reduce initial project cost, the project strived to reuse the majority of the existing irrigation system rather than installing a completely new system. However, additional minor modifications to the irrigation system were required once construction began to insure the system was sound and operated within expectations. Four change orders totaling $11,844.76 were approved that were related to modifications to the existing irrigation system. With the completion of the project, the final contract cost is approximately 1.1 percent above the original bid amount. A summary of the project schedule is as follows: Estimated Start of Construction per Annual Baseline Schedule November 26, 2018 Actual Start of Construction Per Notice to Proceed December 3, 2018 Extended Contract Completion Date Inclusive of Extra Work March 18, 2019 Actual Substantial Construction Completion Date March 11, 2019 5-2 Jamboree Road Median Landscape Turf Replacement Project — Notice of Completion for Contract No. 8151-2 (16L02) May 14, 2019 Page 3 The project was substantially complete on March 11, 2019 with all landscaping improvements completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. Due to several rainy days during the project construction, the original contract completion date was extended to March 18, 2019. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: On November 13, 2018, City Council found this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302(c) Class 2 (reconstruction of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
