interests or demands, which CITY has, had, or may ever be entitled to assert against Former
Contractor subject to the foregoing limitation and in connection with the Contract or Project, and

Surety Takeover of Contract PWS18-89GS, Senio enter Floor Renovation
Staff recommends the city enter into a Takeover Agreement with the Ohio Casualty Insurance
Company, owned by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (Surety), in response to the cancelation of the
Senior Center Floor Renovation Contract, PWS18-89GS. The Surety is obligated to correct the failed
work performed by the contractor. The amount of the Takeover Agreement matches the original bond
issued against the contract, $103,522.50. Staff recommendation is based on the following summary:
Summary
• On June 6, 2018, Coastal Flooring Surfaces, Inc. (Contractor) was awarded a contract to replace
flooring in various portions of the Senior Center.
• The Contractor failed to install the flooring in conformance with the plans and specifications,
which created a nuisance and impacted routine use of the rooms.
• Staff, with authority granted by the City Manager, canceled Contract PWS18-89GS on June 13,
2019, and confirmed via letter to the Surety of its bond obligation to complete the Contract.
• Negotiations with the Surety, Public Works staff and the Deputy City Attorney took place and
all parties agreed to the terms of the Takeover Agreement.
Next Steps
Upon signature execution of the Takeover Agreement by the City Manager (anticipated Nov. 26,
2019), Public Works staff will engage the Surety's contractor to coordinate completion ofthe
contracted floor work at the Senior Center.
Staff will participate in the coordination of the corrective work with the Senior Center staff and
patrons of the Senior Center.
