BACKGROUND
On March 8, 2016, Council awarded the Sewer Pump Station, Lift Station and Well Site Equipment Upgrades Project to Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc. for a not-to-exceed amount of $548,900.00. The Project included the replacement of the existing motor control centers (MCCs) and installation of new variable frequency drives (VFDs) at the Northside Sewer Pump Station and Rabello Sewer Pump Station; installation of new electrical utility services at the Northside Sewer Pump Station and Guadalupe Chart Recording Station; a new SCADA control panel equipment at Guadalupe Chart Recording Station; and new automatic transfer switches and controls at De La Cruz Sewer Lift Station and four groundwater water well sites.
The acceptance of a Project and filing of a Notice of Completion is one of the final steps in a public works project. The attached Notice of Completion contains the required elements set forth in Civil Code ? 8102. Recording the Notice is authorized by statute, Civ.
