| | | | | | | | Executive Summary:
Approval is requested for the City Manager to enter into a tender agreement with the Surety, North American Specialty Insurance Company, to hire the Completion Contractor, Lineaweaver Construction, and pay the additional costs for the Completion Contractor to construct the Walnut Gardens Phase 2 Stormwater Improvements (project number 131809). |
| | | | | | | | Background:
In July 2020, the Walnut Gardens Phase 2 Stormwater Improvements project (project number 131809) was bid, and the lowest bidder was awarded the contract in August 2020. In January 2021, the Original Contractor notified the City that they were unable to perform all necessary construction for the Walnut Gardens Phase 2 Stormwater Improvements. In February 2021, the Original Contractor defaulted on the contract, resulting in the Surety, North American Specialty Insurance Company, being responsible for finding another contractor, a Completion Contractor, to complete the construction. At the time of default, there was no work completed at the time by the Original Contractor.
The Surety has proposed the tender agreement to set forth Lineaweaver Construction as the Completion Contractor. Under this agreement, the Surety finds the Completion Contractor and is financially responsible for any costs above the original construction contract costs. Lineaweaver Construction was originally the second lowest bidder in the original July 2020 bids. This will require the Surety to make payment for the additional costs of the Completion Contractor, a total of $15,189.78, and release the Surety and the Original Contractor from all claims and liabilities following the execution of this agreement. |
