AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for the
Lodi Transit Station and Parking Structure Security and Safety System Project
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for the Lodi Transit Station and parking structure security and
safety system project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the February 1, 2012 meeting, Council authorized the City Manager
to execute a professional service agreement with Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc., of Sacramento, for design of the security and safety
system for the Lodi Transit Station and parking structure.
Since then, the designers have met with the security guards, police officers, transit operation staff and
various City staff members to determine the most appropriate safety and security system. The project
includes a sophisticated electronic protective security system for the Lodi Transit Station and parking
structure. At the Lodi Transit Station, the proposed equipment will provide cameras to monitor the fare
collection activity and the buses parked overnight in a non -secured area. Past incidents have primarily
involved vandalism (graffiti) of the parked buses. At the parking structure, the proposed equipmentwill
provide cameras to monitor each floor, all access points and elevator activities. The majority of the
incidents at the parking structure involved vandalism of the elevator and structure walls and vehicle
break-ins.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is September 5, 2012. The approximate project completion date will be March 2013.
Staff is recommending that City Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be an increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated
with the installation of the security and safety equipment that will be funded
by Transit operations.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
