BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of constructing improvements to 19 bus stop locations on Lodi's fixed -route bus system, as shown on Exhibit A. Bus shelters with benches will be installed at six locations, and 10 additional locations will receive new benches. There are also three locations where new concrete will be placed behind the sidewalk so that existing benches can be moved to provide for a wider pedestrian path of travel. Exhibit B lists the locations of these improvements. Locations were selected based on the new routes that took effect in September 2009 and on bus drivers' observations of the most frequently used stops. One of the stops —the only one requiring negotiations with a private property owner, as well as a permit from Caltrans — addresses concerns raised with the lack of a bus stop at 2420 West Kettleman Lane. Staff expects those negotiations to be successfully completed before project construction is scheduled to begin. Staff is recommending that City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for this project. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is March 10, 2010. The approximate project completion date will be at the end of May 2010. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated with the installation of these new improvements.
