AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for 2013 GrapeLine Bus Stop Improvements
Project
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2013 GrapeLine Bus Stop
Improvements project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to A.M. Stephens Construction Company,
Inc., of Lodi, in the amount of $117,396.25, on March 20, 2013. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
specifications approved by City Council on January 16, 2013.
This project consisted of constructing improvements at seven of the eight contracted bus stop locations on
the GrapeLine's fixed -route bus system. One bus stop improvement, located on Calaveras Street south of
Murray Street, was removed from this contract because we were unable to obtain permission to install the
improvements on County property. A credit for installation of this bus stop is included in the final cost. The
shelter equipment for this bus stop was purchased and remains stored on City property for a future bus
stop location.
The final cost of the project was $129,080.70. The difference between the original contract amount and
final contract amount is due to changes in unit quantities actually installed, credit for the bus stop removed
from the project, and a contract change order. The change order included additional asphalt needed at the
Kettleman Lane and Church Street bus stop, additional work to stabilize saturated subgrade at the
Turner Road and California Street bus stop, and additional asphalt patching at bus stops located on
Central Avenue, Kettleman Lane, and Church Street.
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 inform vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and to initiate the 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 will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs
associated with these improvements, which will be absorbed in the Transit
Operations budget.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Federal Transit Administration (CA-90-YZ094
grant) and Transportation Development Act funds.
