Bond to Release Funds Withheld on Stop Notice
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
The Board exercises its discretion, pursuant to Civil Code Sec. 3196 to
permit Walsh Construction Company to file with the County of Contra Costa
the bond issued by Insurance Company of North America, number 48UK500302
dated October 13, 1989.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Bond is in the amount of $444,805, which is 125% of the $355.843.97
stop notice claim, which is consistent with Civil Code. There is no cost
to the County related to this action.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Resulting from a dispute between one of the West County Justice Center
subcontractors (Thorn Automated Systems, Inc. ) and their third tier
subcontractor (Jensen Electric Co. ) , Jensen Electric Co. filed a Stop
Notice with the County. As a result, $444,805 has been retained from the
General Contractor's progress payment. Absent a settlement of this dispute
and release of the Stop Notice, Thorn Automated Systems filed a bond
pursuant to Sec. 3196 of the Civil Code. The bond protects the County' s
financial interests while permitting normal progress payments to the
Contractor.
