INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution is to correct the retainage amount for the acceptance of the
construction contract for the 429 Rhomberg Building Stabilization Project.
DISCUSSION
Resolution No. 219-15, dated July 6, 2015, provided for the acceptance of the
construction project and to pay the contractor the balance of the retainage. However, it
has been determined that the retainage amount was incorrect. Thus, the acceptance
resolution needs to be amended.
The final construction project cost of$177,208.00 remains the same. There was a
computation error in the final retainage amount due. The acceptance resolution stated
the contractor was paid $168,347.60, leaving a retainage balance of$8,860.40. The
correct amount paid was $176,388.00, leaving a retainage balance of $820.00. The
enclosed resolution has been changed to reflect the corrected retainage amount.
Consulting Engineers IIW, P.C. and the contractor R&W Restoration have been notified
and concur with the final corrected retainage amount of $820.00.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Resolution No. 219-15, dated July 6, 2015, be rescinded and that a
resolution be adopted with the correct retainage amount.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
It is recommended that the attached resolution be adopted that authorizes the correct
retainage amount due to R & W Restoration.
