| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
On April 6, 2021 the Board approved the plans and specification for the Waste Management Unit 6H Subgrade project, which is the first phase of the next module at the landfill. The project was advertised for competitive bidding and a total of six bids were received on May 20, 2021. The construction contract was awarded to Ford Construction as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Construction began in July and was completed in early October. Accepting and recording the Notice of completion will allow final project close-out.
In accordance with the project specifications, following approval of the Notice of Completion, County staff will issue a proposed final pay estimate to the contractor. The contractor will then have 30 days to approve said pay estimate or provide a written statement of all claims. The overall project, including change orders, was within budget and staff does not anticipate any claims or issues with the proposed final pay estimate and project close-out. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| California regulations require an independent third party to perform construction quality assurance oversight. In this case, Geologic Associates (County agreement 20-303) provided this oversight. |
