AGENDA TITLE: Professional Engineering Service Contracts for Central City Revitalization
Improvement Project for Cherokee Lane Construction ($78,010)
MEETING DATE: March 5, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with
CHEC Engineering Consultants and Baumbach & Piazza for the purpose of
providing construction engineering services for the Cherokee Lane portion of
the Central City Revitalization Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its February 5, 1997 meeting, City Council awarded the
Cherokee Lane portion of the Central City Revitalization
Improvement Project to Granite Construction. One of the critical
aspects of this project will be the construction of the rubberized
asphalt surfacing as it is a fairly new process and has not been used in Lodi. The advantages of the
rubberized asphalt are that it will help to prevent cracks in the existing pavement from reflecting through
to the surface and it is supposed to provide a quieter riding surface. CHEC Engineering Consultants
has advised the City of Lodi on previous paving projects and has expertise in the use, installation and
performance of rubberized asphalt concrete surfacing. We have received a quote from
CHEC Engineering Consultants of $22,213 to review the submitted mix designs and to provide a field
engineer/lead inspector to ensure quality control and specification compliance during the placement of
the rubberized asphalt.
We have also received a quote from Baumbach & Piazza to perform the construction staking on the
Cherokee Lane portion of the Central City Revitalization project. The City survey crew will be occupied
with the School Street phase of the Central City project and with other City projects. Baumbach &
Piazza performed the survey work for the design as a subcontractor to Freedman Tung & Bottomley.
We recommend hiring them directly to improve coordination and reduce our cost. Their price for
performing the construction staking is $55,800.
Staff has reviewed the proposals from both firms and we feel their prices are reasonable. Staff is
recommending the funding for these services come from the Public Works Engineering budget and
from the contingency fund of the Central City Revitalization Improvement Project.
FUNDING: Public Works Engineering Budget $44,000
Central City Project (already appropriated) $3 ,000
