Regrading swale from north property line of 475 31st <br />Avenue to south property line of 535 31st Avenue. Remove <br />spoil pile from swale area. <br />Remove excess fill, and regrade swale where temporary <br />driveway was installed and removed at 510 33rd Avenue. <br />Overlay driveway swale at 430 38th Avenue to provide <br />runoff. <br />' Clean up and remove all excess materials and equipment <br />from the temporary project storage yard. - <br />The contractor has planned, through coordination with our <br />consultant, McQueen and Associates, to correct these items by the <br />weekend, December 11 and 12. <br />Restoration has been accepted by the Public Works Department, except <br />for the requirement above and for removal of one piece of equipment <br />which apparently belongs to the contractor. <br />Final clearance has been received from the Department of <br />Environmental Protection. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval <br />of Change Order --No. 1 and approval of the final pay request in the <br />amount of $52,612.65 as payment in full. <br />Commissioner Eggert understood the Board already approved <br />payment of one-half of their final pay request, but Utilities <br />Director Terry Pinto explained that there are some areas that the <br />contractor needs to restore before receiving payment. Our <br />inspectors and the contractor went out to the site and found some <br />areas that still need restoration. There is nothing major, but as <br />of this date, the contractor has not taken care of them. Director <br />Pinto explained what he would like to do, to bring this to <br />resolution. Not all of the people were notified because some of <br />them were not home, so we want to notify everyone on the street. <br />We are going to put little mail hangers on their doors so they will <br />contact us. We will give them several days to respond and then <br />compile a final list and give the contractor 3 days to get those <br />things done. If he doesn't, we are going to have our people go in <br />and do the work and charge those costs back to him. Hopefully, it <br />will all be resolved within the next couple of weeks. <br />Director Pinto felt that people should have the responsibility <br />of watering the sod after it is laid. What happened on this <br />project is that the residents got angry at the contractor and began <br />to find other objectionable things. <br />Commissioner Adams felt it truly points out that we need to <br />communicate better with the contractors and the people involved, <br />39 <br />Bou 91 F -AG F.349 <br />
