That the City Council approve the Notice of Completion for the Child Development Playground Renovations project at the City-owned and operated Child Development Center (CDC) located at 401 South Euclid Street and the Claire Brown Center (CBC) located at 305 South Euclid Street, City Project No. CSJN-24-01, and authorize staff to submit the Notice of Completion for recordation.

On March 18, 2024, City Council awarded a purchase and installation contract to Great Western Installations, Inc. in the amount of $401,296.68, which included a five percent (5%) contingency, for the renovations of the playground areas at the City-owned and operated Child Development Center (CDC) and Claire Brown Center (CBC), City Project No. CSJN-24-01 ("Project"). The project consisted of the removal and replacement of the play equipment and soft surfacing to fit within the existing footprint at each location.  

Staff conducted a final inspection and found that the work was completed in accordance to manufacturer's specifications and City standards. Upon acceptance of the Project by the City Council, staff will file the Notice of Completion (Attachment 1) for recordation at the Orange County Clerk-Recorders Office.

The total construction cost for the project was $382,187.31, which is five percent, or $19,109.37 less than the approved purchase order of $401,296.68.  Therefore, there are sufficient funds to release the retention payment and file the Notice of Completion.
