CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Water
Meter Program Phase 2
MEETING DATE: December 21, 2011
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Water Meter Program Phase 2.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 2, 2007 City Council meeting, the Water Meter Retrofit
Policy was adopted. The primary objectives of the Water Meter
Retrofit Policy were to accelerate the installation of residential water
meters and shorten the time period during which customers would be paying for water on flat rate versus
on usage base.
At the October 20, 2010 City Council meeting, a seven-year construction phasing was approved and the
property owner meter payment was capped at $300 per parcel. The first of seven construction projects
was awarded by Council in March 2011 and included the installation of 3,698 meters and the
replacement of 4,220 feet of water main. The project area for Phase 2 is presented in ExhibitA and
includes the installation of 2,111 meters and the replacement of 26,350 feet (five miles) of water main.
The estimated construction cost of $6.553 million (including the cost of the water meters and ERTs) is in
line with previous estimates. Construction is expected to begin in April and conclude in October 2012.
Plans and specifications for the project are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid
opening date is February 8, 2012.
FISCAL IMPACT: Water main leak and service repairs will be reduced. No additional costs
will be incurred for reading of the meters as they are automatically read
concurrent with the reading of the electric meters.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding for the construction and procurement of water meters and ERTs is
in the Water Capital Fund (181).
