Staff requests the Board accept the project, release the retainage in the amount of $19,298.37, compensate
the contractor for the remainder of work completed in the amount of $8,557.00, deduct $63.00 from the
contract for failed laboratory tests, and make final payment in the amount of $27,792.37 to the contractor.
This project was not closed earlier due to contractor delays in obtaining the final release of liens and
certification packages for our grant agencies.
