Projectata
Originally Budgeted: 1989/1988
Budgeted Fund: Transportation Dev. Act/
Utility Reserve Fund
Amount Budgeted: $51,000
Total Project Estimate: $41,000

AGENDA TITLE: Contract Award for Lodi Avenge and Ham Lane Intersection
Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council award the contract for the above
project to Copenhagen Utilities in the amount of $85,901.00 and authorize the
appropriation of an additional $28,000 from Transportation Development Act
funds and $7,725 from available funds in the Electric Utility System
Improvement account to complete the project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of installing three
City -furnished vaults, two cable TV -furnished boxes, and conduit of various
types and diameters. Electrical and cable TV wiring will be installed at a
future date as a separate project.
This project alsa includes an asphalt overlay of the Lodi Avenue/Ham Lane
intersection. The overlay project had been originally budgeted in 1988 but
was postponed until the underground conduit was installed.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on May 16, 1990.
The City received the following six bids for this project:
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $ 52,929.50
Copenhagen Utilities Sacramento $ 85,901.00
Claude C. Wood Company Lodi $ 86,992.30
Teichert Construction Stockton $ 93,332.90
Moreno Trenching Co. Rio Vista $ 99,986.07
Ford Construction Lodi $110,426.00
McCourt-West West Sacramento $114,751.50
Based on the number of bids and range of prices, staff feels the low bid is
reasonable and the Engineer's estimate was too Tow.
The Public Works Department has designed relatively few contract conduit
installation projects in the past. The estimates for the Lodi and Ham
project were based on the similar underground projects dating back to 1980.
