Commission seeks clarification on proposed deducts for City Hall contract
Summary
Commissioners and the project architect asked the contractor to clarify several proposed deducts — including generator, landscaping/irrigation, door/window installation, pergola and slab items and spalling repairs — before finalizing the City Hall contract award.
Commissioner Tom Harding raised questions about multiple line‑item deducts submitted by the lowest bidder, saying they needed clarification before staff could finalize contract language. Commissioners agreed additional detail was necessary to determine which items would remain in scope and which could be removed as deducts.
Brandan DeCaro, the CPH architect on the project, identified specific deduct candidates discussed during the meeting: the generator, landscaping and irrigation, door and window installation, potential pergola and slab items, and spalling repair allowances. The Commission instructed staff to obtain clarification from Pedro Falcon Contractors and to address these items during upcoming contract negotiations.
