BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
A construction contract for the Caddington Area 9 ADA Access Improvements Project
was awarded by the City Council on April 20, 2021, in the amount of $113,850 to NR
Development, Inc.

The project installed Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb cut ramps at
11 locations within the Caddington Drive neighborhood, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure
2 below. Prior to completion of this project, raised curbs created a barrier that impeded
access for the mobility impaired. The project was f unded from the City’s Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation.

Construction was completed on August 19, 2021. Staff subsequently requested a
construction contract compliance file review from the Los Angeles County Development
Authority (LACDA) for the CDBG funds. The purpose of the review was to determine if
the City complied with federal, state, and local regulations that applied to this project and
to ensure that the participating construction contractor complied with federal contract
requirements. The City received a clearance letter from LACDA stating that the City and
the contractor met all applicable regulations and contract requirements.
The contract includes a 12-month warranty period requiring the contractor to remedy any
defective work. The project area will be monitored for the duration of the warranty period.

CONCLUSION:
The construction contractor, NR Development Inc., has completed all work in accordance
with the specifications and construction contract. Therefore, Staff recommends accepting
the project as complete and filing a Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County
Registrar-Recorder’s Office. If no claims are filed within 35 days after recordation, the City
will release the 5% retention, and upon the contractor posting an acceptable warranty
bond, notify the surety company to exonerate the Performance Bond.

City Council’s consideration:
