SUBJECT: FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS DRILLING OF MAIN STREET
WELL NO. 4 (Project No. 6103)
SUMMARY
This action consists of the acceptance of work and authorization of recordation of the notice of
completion for the drilling of Main Street Well No. 4 (Project No. 6103).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Tustin City Council adopt Resolution No. 00-20 accepting said work
and authorizing the recordation of the Notice of Completion and direct the City Clerk to:
o
Release the Labor and Materials Bond not sooner than thirty-five (35) days after the
date of recordation of the Notice of Completion; and
,
Release the Faithful Performance Bond not sooner that one year after the date of
recordation of the Notice of Completion; and
Assuming no other claims or stop payment notices are filed, it is further recommended that the
City Council authorize payment of the retention amount, minus any amount due the
Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), thirty-five days after the date of recordation of the
Notice of Completion. The amount of retention currently being held is 10% of the total contract
and equals $27,470.20. This amount together with previous payments of $246,761.64
represents 100% of the final contract cost.
The City is currently waiting for a determination from the State Division of Industrial Relations
regarding the contractor's possible failure to pay prevailing wages. The City reviewed certified
payroll records from the contractor and found a discrepancy. In October 1999, the City
requested that the DIR determine if the contractor had paid the current prevailing wages to a
well driller. In accordance with Sections 1730-1734 of the California Labor Code, the City is
required to withhold the disputed amount and turn it over to the DIR. The amount in dispute
is approximately $8,100.
