Report Title: Resolution of Acceptant and Notice of Completion for Elevator Modernization at Pittsburg Health Center, located at 2311 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg (WH514A) here to enter text.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Resolution accepting as complete the contracted work performed by Matrix HG Inc. (Matrix), a California Corporation, for the Elevator Modernization Project, 2311 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact associated with accepting completion of contracted work.
BACKGROUND:
On July 9, 2019, the Board awarded a contract in the amount of $1,867,975 to Matrix to modernize three traction elevators and one hydraulic elevator at the Pittsburg Health Clinic in Pittsburg.
After further site investigations and scoping discussions, it was determined that the approved construction budget in the amount of $1,867,975 would be insufficient to facilitate the work to modernize the traction elevators and one hydraulic elevator. Additional work performed by Matrix included the performance of electrical systems surveys and load tests, miscellaneous electrical changes and upgrades, and installation of an alternate smoke detection system in each elevator shaft. Per site operations requirements weekend crane work was performed to lift the new elevator gear up to the existing roof penthouse. As such, change orders of $416,140.25 were required over the course of the project raising the final construction cost to $2,284,115.25 to complete the project.
All required permit inspections have been completed and approved. Furthermore, the Public Works Department has reviewed the work and found it to be complete. Therefore, Contra Costa County Public Works Department recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution accepting the contract work as complete.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Accepting the contract as complete is standard procedure and allows for proper closeout of the contract. If the contract is not accepted as complete, the period for filing stop payment notices and bond claims may be extended and then Contra Costa County will incur expenses for additional contract administration.
