C.Accept Completed Improvements and Authorize Filing of a Notice of Completion for City Project No. 41026 – Rosemead Park Restroom Renovations On November 12, 2024, the City Council approved the award of a construction contract to Bridgerock Construction, Inc. The total construction budget for the project, which included a 10% construction contingency, was $284,680.00. The project involved the renovation of deteriorated structures including installation of ADA-compliant fixtures, restroom stalls, plumbing upgrades, interior surface modifications, and lighting improvements. During construction, several change orders were necessary due to unforeseen adjustments to an existing concrete masonry wall and the actual thickness of the existing concrete slab flooring that were not shown on the project plans. All contractual items, including the unforeseen change order, have been completed and accepted by city staff as substantially complete and the restrooms have been reopened to the public. However, after reopening, staff requested additional work to address a couple of maintenance concerns. These include closing an opening above the main gates that allows unauthorized access to the restrooms and modifying the flooring surface to reduce slipping. Notably, these additional tasks do not impact the project’s completion date. Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1.Accept the substantial project completion for the Rosemead Park Restroom Renovation Adjacent to Aquatic Center – City Project No. 41026 as performed by Bridgerock Construction, Inc. with the final contract amount of $275,890.44; and 2.Authorize the recordation of Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Recorder and the release of retention funds 35 days thereafter. 4 Rosemead City Council Special & Regular Joint Meeting Agenda April 8, 2025 D.
