COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Municipal Service Center Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility Security Wall and
Solar Power Phase 2 and Lodi Station Lighting Improvement Projects
MEETING DATE: December 19,2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Municipal Service Center Transit Vehicle Maintenance
Facility security wall and solar power Phase 2 and Lodi Station
lighting improvement projects.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of constructing 180 lineal feet of concrete
masonry unit (CMU) security wall north of the Transit Vehicle
Maintenance Facility (TVMF) between the Municipal Service Center
(MSC) yard and Kofu Park, adding solar panels and associated system to the south -facing roof of the
TVMF and adding site lighting at the Lodi Station bus parking area.
The CMU security wall will be ten feet tall to match the CMU height of the TVMF and act to deter
vandalism that is occurring in the area. The solar power system will be similar to the system recently
installed at the MSC and take advantage of the south -facing TVMF roof area.
The lighting improvements at the Lodi Station bus parking area include replacement of two existing light
poles and installation of three additional light poles to provide additional security lighting in the area
where the buses are parked overnight.
The planned bid opening date is January 29, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT: The solar power portion of the projectwill develop incometo offset utility
costs at the MSC TVMF facility. Failure to award the contract could result
in the loss of the funding of approximately $577,000 for construction of the
project.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding is available from:
American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (1251)
