DISCUSSION:
On May 27, 2003, the City Council authorized the award of the Irvine Avenue Median
Landscape Phase II, Dover Drive to Holiday Road contract to DMA Greencare, Inc.
The contract provided the construction of integrally colored stamped median concrete
along the length of the medians and the installation of moisture barrier, mulch, ground
cover, and an irrigation system. Due to the existing shallow storm drain below the
medians, no trees were proposed for this project. The ground cover is the same as that
recently installed within the medians between Westcliff Drive and Dover Drive.
The contract has now been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works
Department. A summary of the contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $189,995.56
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 189,991.56
Total amount of change orders: 30,048.12
Final contract cost: $220,039.68
