COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 8/2/2022 ITEM NO: 12
DATE: July 8, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Certificate of Acceptance and
Notice of Completion for the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk
Maintenance Project (CIP No. 813-9921), Completed by Spencon
Construction, and Authorize the Town Clerk to File for Recordation
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Certificate of Acceptance and Notice of Completion
for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Maintenance Project (CIP No. 813-
9921), completed by Spencon Construction, and authorize the Town Clerk to file for
recordation.
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2021/22 Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Maintenance Project focused on replacing or
retrofitting curb ramps in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other
accessibility requirements. Title II of the ADA obligates jurisdictions to upgrade non-conforming
curb ramps when streets are resurfaced from one intersection to another. The United States
Department of Justice has determined that roadway resurfacing work such as asphalt overlay
and rubber cape seal prompts curb ramps on associated streets to be installed or upgraded per
the latest ADA requirements and standards.
At the February 15, 2022 Town Council meeting, Council approved the plans and specifications
for the Annual (FY 2021/22) Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Maintenance Project, approved
advertising for bid, and authorized the Town Manager to award a construction contract in an
amount not to exceed $588,500, including contingencies.

BACKGROUND (continued):
On March 10, 2022, the Town received twelve bids ranging from $367,145 to $723,600. The
Town entered into an agreement with Spencon Construction for the work for the lowest
responsible bid of $367,145. Bidding the projects early in the year helped the Town receive
favorable bids.
DISCUSSION:
With the timely execution of the contract, the construction project started in April 2022.
Spencon Construction has since satisfactorily completed all contracted work items, including
Town requested change order work, for a final construction cost of $387,225. Per the original
scope, a total of 57 curb ramps were made ADA compliant, and 250 square feet of sidewalk and
65 linear feet of curb and gutter which were uplifted and damaged were replaced. The Town
requested change order work that resulted in an additional 90 square feet of sidewalk and 84
linear feet of curb and gutter being replaced as needed prior to the street resurfacing
scheduled this year. Staff recommends accepting the project.
Five percent of the faithful performance bonds will remain in effect for a period of two years as
a guarantee for any needed repair or replacement caused by defective materials and/or
workmanship for the project. The execution and recordation of the Certificate of Acceptance is
required to finalize the Town's acceptance and to release the retention funds withheld from the
contractor.
CONCLUSION:
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Certificate of Acceptance and Notice of Completion
for the FY 2021/22 Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Maintenance Project (CIP No. 813-9921),
completed by Spencon Construction, and authorize the Town Clerk to file the certificate with
the County Clerk-Recorder’s Office for recordation.
