AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for DeBenedetti Park ADA Access
Improvement Project, 2150 South Lower Sacramento Road
MEETING DATE: September 4, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for DeBenedetti Park ADA
Access Improvement Project, 2150 South Lower Sacramento Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to A.M. Stephens Construction, Inc., of
Lodi, in the amount of $126,736.50, on April 17, 2013. The contract
has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
This project improved accessibility to DeBenedetti Park. The improvements consisted of a paved parking
lot entrance, two concrete ADA -compliant parking stalls, accessible paths to the bottom of the north and
south basins, sidewalk completion along Century Boulevard and other incidental and related work. The
proposed improvements are shown in Exhibit A.
The contract completion date was August 23, 2013. The final contract price was $142,539. The
difference between the original contract amount and final contract amount is due to the contractor
providing additional grading and sod placement to soften the transition slopes at the request of the City.
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: There will be a small increase in the park's maintenance cost associated
with the addition of asphalt, concrete, signs and striping.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Parks Impact Fees (1217043).
