AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Alley Improvement Project — Phase 4
MEETING DATE: May 21, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Alley Improvement Project —
Phase 4.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction Company,
Inc., of Lodi, in the amount of $151,356.75, on June 5, 2013. The
contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the
plans and specifications approved by City Council.
This project consisted of reconstructing the alleys north of Lodi Avenue and west of Church Street; and
north of Elm Street from Central Avenue to Garfield Street, as shown on Exhibit A. The work included
installing approximately 500 tons of asphalt concrete, 2,000 square feet of concrete alley gutter, 1,700
square feet of alley approach concrete, and other incidental and related work.
These alleys were selected based on field review of the City's alleys. They appeared to have the most
severe drainage and/or pothole problems from the site survey. Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds were used to reconstruct the alleys with new asphalt concrete pavement and pervious
concrete alley gutter. The pervious alley concrete gutter was used in previous alley reconstruction
projects and has proven to enhance the alley storm water drainage.
The contract completion date was April 25, 2014. The final contract price was $162,282.18. The
difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to additional time working
through wet conditions and working around utilities that were shallower than shown on the plans.
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.
FISCAL IMPACT: The project will reduce maintenance costs in the reconstructed alleys.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by 2012 Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds made available 7gh San Joaquin County.
