CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Water Meter Installation Project
MEETING DATE: April 19,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the "Water
Meter Installation Project" contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Arrow Construction, of Modesto, on
January 4, 2006, in the amount of $52,831. The contract has been
completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
The Water Meter Installation Project is a pilot project intended to initiate compliance with Assembly Bill 2572
to install meters on all of the approximately 17,000 unmetered services within the City by January 1, 2025.
The project included the installation of 394 domesticwater meters with remote -read capabilities. The meters
were installed in existing water meter boxes within the project area, as shown on the attached map.
The contract completion date was May 3, 2006, and the actual completion date was March 24, 2006.
The final contract price was $48,462. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract
price is mainly due to the contract item to perform meter alignment adjustments. Arrow Construction was
able to install all of the water meters without needing to reset or replace any meter box installations. The
contract included a $4,000 item to pay the contractor for any necessary work on the meter boxes and this
contract item was not used.
Following acceptance by the City Council, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's office.
FISCAL IMPACT: In addition to the initial capital costs, it is anticipated that operation and
maintenance costs will increase over time to repair and maintain the water
meters.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Water Utility Capital Outlay Fund
(Installation Only): $48,462
