City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work as complete for the Carlson
Park Restroom Project, P-814.
BACKGROUND:
On November 10, 2003 the City Council awarded a construction contract to Cohen
Construction, Inc., in the amount of $202,000 for the construction of the subject
project. The work consisted of the demolition and construction of a new restroom
facility, re-roofing the existing picnic shelter, and site furnishings.
DISCUSSION:
The construction of the Restroom began in February 2004 and was scheduled for
completion in May 2004. The construction progress was slow due to delayed
delivery of materials. Also, rain and change order delays revised the completion
date to September 2004. In October 2004, the contractor declared bankruptcy.
After several months of legal work from the City Attorney’s office and Cohen’s surety
bonding company, work commenced again in April 2005 with a new contractor. The
project completion was managed by the Engineering Division. (The original
construction contract was managed by the Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Department utilizing a consultant to oversee the construction work.) The work was
successfully completed to the satisfaction of the Building Maintenance Division,
Parks, Recreation, and Community Services staff, Building and Safety Division, and
Engineering Division staff.
