Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

This item accepts the Sterling Falls Wedding Venue Waterline Improvements Project (the "Project") and authorizes the commencement of Agusta Kelly & Company, LLC's (the "Contractor" ) one-year maintenance period. City staff inspected the Project and found it to be built in compliance with the contract specifications and City requirements. As such, the City accepts the project and allows for the commencement of the Contractor's maintenance period. During this time, the City will hold the Contractor's one-year maintenance bond until such time as any and all project deficiencies are remedied per staff directions. Upon the completion of this period, the City will take full ownership of the project and the remaining bond will be released to the Contractor.
