DISCUSSION:
On February 27, 2024, the City Council authorized the award of a construction contract to SNZ Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $232,155.00 and authorized a contingency amount of $23,215.50 for a total contract authorization of $255,370.50 for the Sidewalk Reconstruction Project #1 (Grids 29, 35, 36, and 42).
Construction began in July 2024 and was completed in December 2024. The project was successfully completed for the final amount of $233,788.00, an increase of less than 1% from the original contract amount of $232,155.00 and $21,582.50 under the total authorized budget. The proposed improvements for Sidewalk Reconstruction Project #1 consisted of the rehabilitation of existing sidewalk, eliminating severely damaged conditions. The project improved sidewalk walkability, increased sidewalk service life, and enhanced the safety of pedestrian traffic.
A stop payment notice was filed by a subcontractor during construction, which temporarily delayed project acceptance. This issue has since been resolved, allowing the project to proceed to final acceptance.
