COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Lodi Avenue Overlay
(Lower Sacramento Road to Ham Lane)/Pacific Avenue Extension
(Walnut Street to Lodi Avenue) Project
MEETING DATE: April 19,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council accept the improvements under the
"Lodi Avenue Overlay (Lower Sacramento Road to Ham Laney
Pacific Avenue Extension (Walnut Street to Lodi Avenue) Project"
contract.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to Granite Construction, of French Camp,
on July 20, 2005, in the amount of $729,985.00. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformancewith the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
This project is comprised of two separate but contiguous elements of work paid for by separate funding
sources.
The first element of work consisted of installing a 0. 1 5-footthick asphalt pavement overlay on
Lodi Avenue, between Lower Sacramento Road and Ham Lane, which included approximately
3,700 tons of asphalt concrete and 35,400 square yards of pavement reinforcement fabric; pavement
grinding; pavement striping; wheelchair ramps; installing 1,100 linear feet of 15 -inch diameter storm drain
pipeline; and other incidental and related work. This portion of the work was funded by Measure K
Maintenance and Wastewater funds. The storm drain improvements were performed priorto the overlay
to address deficiencies associated with the local drainage system serving Leland Court.
The second element of work consisted of constructing a roadway extension of PacificAvenue between
Walnut Street and Lodi Avenue. This work was performed in cooperation with the Lodi Unified School
District and included approximately 450 linear feet of roadway improvements that will facilitate traffic flow
(including school buses) during school operations. The roadway extension was constructed on
School District property and will remain a District -owned and -maintained facility.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on March 16, 2005. The City received the
following two bids for this project:
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $726,364.00
Granite Construction French Camp $729,985.00

The final contract price was $785,480.10. The difference between the contract amount and the final
contract price is mainly due to contract change orders which compensated the contractor for signal
modifications at Lodi Avenue and Mills Avenue, adjusted the quantity of pavement reinforcing fabric,
made crosswalk modifications, modified a manhole and chain link fence in the Pacific Avenue portion of
the project, and included other minor miscellaneous items of work.
Following acceptance by the City Council, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's office.
FISCAL IMPACT: The project is anticipated to reduce storm drain and pavement maintenance
costs along the Lodi Avenue corridor between Lower Sacramento Road
and Ham Lane. No fiscal impact is associated with the Pacific Avenue
extension since the facility will continue to be owned and maintained by the
Lodi Unified School District.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Measure K Maintenance: $ 490,480.10
Wastewater Fund: $ 175,000.00
Safe Routes to School Grant: $ 108,000.00
Lodi Unified School District $ 12,000.00
