BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Diede Construction, Inc., of Woodbridge, in the amount of $307,357.44, on April 17, 2013. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. This project consisted of constructing 180 lineal feet of concrete masonry unit security wall north of the Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility (TVMF) between the Municipal Service Center 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 lighting improvements at the Lodi Station bus parking area included 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 contract completion date was October 8, 2013. The final contract price was $328,246.44. The difference between the original contract amount and final contract amount is due to two contract change orders. Change Order No. 1 was for additional engineering to redesign the security wall footings to work around existing unknown utilities and additional underground investigation at Lodi Station to determine locations of existing underground utilities ($9,304). Change Order No. 2 was for extra labor and materials related to revised footing details and additional electrical boring ($11,585). Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete 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.
