Recommendation to Authorize the Interim City Manager to Accept the Work of G & G Builders, Inc. for the Maintenance Service Center Interior Improvements, No. P.W. 02-21-10. (Public Works 60341591)
Body
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Public Works Maintenance Service Center (MSC) building located at 1616 Fortmann Way was designed and constructed in 1984. Built specifically to serve the operations of Public Works' maintenance service staff, equipment, and vehicles, the building has had routine maintenance and upkeep, but had not been remodeled or renovated in nearly 40 years.

These spaces and amenities now meet or exceed current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and have improved overall usability. The improvements executed under the subject contract are complete and acceptable to staff. Staff is now recommending that the City Council accept the work.
