Staffreport
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the work and filing of the Notice of Completion for the subject project.
BACKGROUND
On June 6, 2011, the City Council awarded the construction contract for the subject project to Innovative Construction Solutions - Norcal. Construction which entailed the remediation of the contaminated soil is now complete and is in compliance with the contract documents.
The site is a vacant lot located in the industrial section of the city, adjacent to the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). In 2006, the City purchased the property for the rehabilitation of the WPCP. The property is approximately 450 feet by 120 feet.
Prior to 1989, an automobile wrecking yard operated there, and then the site was used for storage of stockpiled soil. The stockpiled soil was removed in February. Environmental regulations required that the ground be re-tested once the soil was removed. Tests of the remaining soil revealed that the soil was contaminated and required remediation.
Analysis
Project construction is complete.
