Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Progress Payment #3 and Change Order #1 to Martinez Landscape Co. Inc. of Sylmar, CA.

The work for the project includes adequate parking spaces for large and regular vehicles, a two-story building, a fuel-pumping station for gas and diesel vehicles, an above-ground propane tank, a mechanic station, wash down bays, hazardous material storage, welding area, general storage, employee restroom, and storage space for large city vehicles. Vehicle parking spaces will have a photovoltaic canopy above, as well as on all building rooftops. The two-story administration building will contain ground-level storage, public-facing entrance/vestibule, elevator, office, restrooms, and elevator equipment room. The second story will include City offices, training rooms, conference rooms, mail intake and sorting, and staff restrooms. The roof of the administration building will also hold a new radio tower and drone pad. Additionally, new sidewalks will be installed that are ADA-compliant, along with driveways that provide entrance and exit to the facility. This project also consists of multiple trades, from low voltage electrical work to fueling station designing & construction. This requires the awarding contractor to have multiple subcontractors for various works which include, but not limited to: low-voltage electrical work for communication/security system, elevator construction and installation, mechanical lifts and pressure systems, fueling station design and installation, hazardous material storage construction, fire suppression system, standard plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems, ADA sidewalk construction, landscaping, etc. Any and all other additional, reduced or removed work will be made through negotiated change orders after the project's contract has been awarded in accordance with the bid documents.

The scope of work covered in Change Order #1 is for the redesign of the metal-roofed parking stalls in the north portion of the project site. The City requested the 4-post-metal-roofed parking stalls to be redesigned as roofed single pole parking stalls with solar panels and with the capability for single or dual EV charging stations.
