Report Title: Resolution of Acceptance and Notice of Completion for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Cooling Tower Replacement Project, located at 2500 Alhambra Avenue, Martinez
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Resolution accepting as complete the contracted work performed by Dowdle & Sons Mechanical, Inc. (DSM), a California Corporation, for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center Cooling Tower Replacement Project, 2500 Alhambra Avenue, Martinez.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact associated with accepting completion of contracted work.
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2023, the Board awarded a contract in the amount of $3,167,000 to DSM to replace the cooling towers at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center hospital building in Martinez.
Mutually agreed change orders, totaling $1,039,947.20, brought the construction contract amount to a final sum of $4,206,947.20. Change Orders were primarily required due to either unforeseen conditions, or value-added changes requested by the Health Services Department, including Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $325,835.09, required due to unforeseen conditions, and approved by the Board on December 17, 2024.
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 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.
