ADOPT the recommendation of the Director of General Services to consent to the substitution of

listed in the bid proposal by the prime contractor, ValleyCrest Landscape Development, Inc. for the
Ironhorse Greenspace/Respite Area Project, Pleasant Hill, as requested by the prime contractor, and

None.
BACKGROUND
On December 16, 2003, the Board awarded a construction contract for the subject project to the
prime contractor, ValleyCrest Landscape Development, Inc., Pleasanton.
In a letter dated August 17, 2004, the prime contractor requested approval to substitute Diamond
Services, Inc. for Common Ground Electric, Inc. The reason given for the requested substitution was
Common Ground's failure to perform.
Common Ground protested the substitution and a hearing was held on September 9, 2004. It was
determined at that hearing that Common Ground contractor's license had expired and Common
Ground also lacked the required worker's compensation insurance. County staff has determined that
the prime contractor's substitution request is reasonable and merits approval.
