CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT AS COMPLETE PROJECT NO. 1444: AVALON BOULEVARD PAVEMENT RESTORATION FROM DOMINGUEZ STREET TO VICTORIA STREET
Body
I. SUMMARY
Project No. 1444: Avalon Boulevard Pavement Restoration from Dominguez Street to Victoria Street has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications (Exhibit No. 1). On September 22, 2014, the City of Carson (City) and Sialic Contractors Corporation dba Shawnan Construction (Shawnan) entered into a public works contract for the repaving of Avalon Boulevard from Dominguez Street to Victoria Street. Shawnan performed additional work to complete the project, including but not limited to, the removal of petromat found below the pavement's surface. A dispute arose between the City and Shawnan regarding the authorization, or lack thereof, for Shawnan's performance of additional work, and the amount owed for said work. Shawnan filed a lawsuit against the City for breach of contract, seeking damages in excess of $479,447.01, in addition to the release of the retention proceeds. As a result of mediation, the parties have reached a settlement. The City agrees to pay Shawnan $325,000.00 as the settlement amount for the lawsuit, and will release the retention proceeds upon the acceptance of the project by the City Council.
It is requested that the City Council accept the work as complete and authorize staff to file the Notice of Completion.
