BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 15, 2020, City Council awarded a Contract to Stephen Doreck Equipment Rental, Inc. ("Stephen Doreck") in the amount of $339,857.10 for Moorpark Water Main Replacement, CIP Project No. 7458 ("Project") and approve a 10% construction contingency for a total approved construction budget of $373,842.70. Project replaced approximately 1,455 linear feet of water main and associated water services on Moorpark Drive between Brittany Lane and Larkstone Lane, and on Brittany Lane between Moorpark Drive and Ravencrest Drive. In addition, Project also included slurry sealing Moorpark Drive, Brittany Lane, Larkstone Lane, and Ravencrest Drive to latest City standard which includes removing old slurry from gutter pan. 

Notice-to-Proceed with construction was issued on February 22, 2021 with a completion date of April 2, 2021 per the allotted number of working days in the contract. However, due to contractor deficiencies and added scope, Project was substantially completed on September 24, 2021. Amount of change orders approved for this Project is $84,963.90. Change orders were primarily due to additional water main and services requested by City. In addition, as part of the change order negotiations, City was able to extend limits of slurry seal to include Ravencrest Drive and Brittany Lane at no cost.  

Final total Contract cost is $424,821.00. Improvements have been completed and staff is recommending City Council approve Acceptance of Work performed by Stephen Doreck.
