Department Recommendation:
Authorize staff to file a Notice of Completion for the Fleet Maintenance Settlement Repair Project.
Background Discussion:
The Fleet Maintenance Building is located near the Ben Maddox entrance to the City’s Public Works Corporation Yard. More than 4-inches of settlement had occurred at the westerly end of the Fleet Maintenance Building. The settlement had contributed to damage to the building causing the need for multiple building repairs including door jams, damage to floors, plumbing, footings, building slab, stairs, stairwells, roof, and metal siding. The excessive settlement had occurred as a direct result of poor soil compaction, excessive moisture content, and the presence of organic material in the subgrade as noted in the Geotechnical Investigation report conducted in 2020. The completion of the project consolidated the underlying soils and raised the building slab back to its original floor elevation, through a push pier and polymer injection method.
Change Orders:
The Fleet Maintenance Building Settlement repair project had one zero-cost change order that extended the original contract from January 6th, 2023 until April 30th, 2023. The contract was extended due to weather conditions. The Valley saw unforeseen historic inclement weather conditions from November 2022 through March 2023, which caused the rescheduling of critical path works for this project. This change order approved the additional contract time that was required to correctly complete the work established in the contract with Caliber Contracting INC including exterior concrete and stair replacement.
Fiscal Impact:
This project was funded by the Measure N Building Maintenance Fund 142, (No. 1420-72000/CP0250-999)

The cost to complete construction was less than the original estimated amount of $261,658. This was a result of no change orders processed that increased the contract amount, therefore, the amount budgeted for construction contingency and the plumbing continency was not expended. In addition, the project budget included budget for material testing which was deemed not necessary following the completion of the project.
Any unused monies will return to the fund from which they originated.
Prior Council Action:
August 1st, 2022
