Title
Acceptance of completion and release of retainage for Battleground Golf Course 48” Storm Sewer Pipe Rehabilitation Project.
Body
Summary:
On the 07/07/2015 council meeting, City Council authorized the purchase of services from Fuquay, Inc. through the Buyboard for the 48” Storm Sewer Pipe Outfall Rehabilitation at Battleground Golf Course. This is a FEMA grant project.
The project consisted of the installation of two 48” HDPE drainage pipes that outfall into a Harris County Flood Control ditch. These Pipes are under several pipelines and were replaced to prevent failure to those lines.
The total cost of this project is $249,979.00. The city has already made payments to the contractor with a sum total of $224,981.10. As part of the agreement, the City retained final payment of $24,997.90 until the project reached completion. The work has now been completed and it is the Engineer’s recommendation that council move to release the retainage and approve the final payment to the contractor.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Funds for the Final Payment of $24,997.90 shall be drawn from Fund 22.
Recommended action
Engineering is recommending council’s acceptance of completion of project and release of retainage to the contractor.
