MEETING DATE: February 1,2012
PREPARED B Y Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2011 disabled access
improvements, 100 block of West Elm Street and
111 North Stockton Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The projectwas awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction Company,
Inc,, of Lodi, in the amount of $59,572.30, The contract has been
completed in substantial conformancewith the plans and
specifications approved by the City Council.
This project was part of the City of Lodi's 2009 Community Development Block Grant — Recovery (CDBG-R)
allocation and consisted of the modification of existing parking stalls for the purpose of constructing
Americanswith Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant accessible parking stalls. These CDBG-Rfunds were a
supplement to the City's 2008109 CDBG allocation that was received through the Urban County, as part of
the American Recoveryand ReinvestmentAct of 2009 (ARRA).
The project was completed on the contract completion date of December 20, 2011. The final contract price
was $135,222.35. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to a
contract change order to utilize the remainder of the CDBG-R funding for installing additional wheelchair
ramps at PleasantAvenue/Louie Avenue and at Pine Street/Main Street, as approved by the City Council on
August 17,2011.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors
that the project is comptete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: There could be a slight increase in long-term maintenance costs due to the
additional signage and striping.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by 2009 American Recoveryand ReinvestmentAct
CDBG-R Funds.
