HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - October 20, 1999 H-01AGENDA TITLE: Plans, Specifications, and Advertising of Bids for Constructing Portions of Lodi Lake
Beach and West Side (Undeveloped Area) Trail Improvements
MEETING DATE: October 20, 1999
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council approve Option 3 (Exhibit B) of the above project and
authorize advertising of bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project, Phase I, was first presented to Council at the
September 16h meeting. The project at that time proposed the
removal of 14 remaining trees. With a lot of public concern over
removal of trees, Council set an on-site shirtsleeve session on
October 51A and
directed staff to redesign the trail and present alternatives at that time. At the shirtsleeve session, staff
presented four alternatives with all but the "do nothing" alternative requiring removal of at least four
trees.
Subsequent to the shirtsleeve session, staff looked at two additional options specifically looking at what
could be done to preserve all the trees. One option would require the transplanting of the four trees in
question at a cost of approximately $8,000 each or $32,000 total. The survival rate for digging up and
transplanting is 50%. The other option is to allow a gap in the levee whereby the grade of the existing
trees can remain, push the trail further toward the water, remove the proposed wall and be willing to
sandbag the gap in the levee. Being presented to Council are three options as follows:
Option 1 (No Project)
This option does not eliminate or effect any trees. It does not address or resolve issues of unsafe
bicycling on the west side including dangerous exit of bicycles into traffic on Turner Road. This option
does not address the hazardous sidewalk or sinking retaining wall on Turner Road. This option does not
create a trail system to utilize the park and enjoy its amenities.
Option 2 (Exhibit A)
This option requires the transplanting of four trees at a cost of $8,000 per tree for a total of $32,00. The
survival rate for transplanting is 50%. It does eliminate all unsafe conditions by building the new trail as
originally proposed and presented at the on-site Council shirtsleeve session.

Option 3 (Exhibit B — Preferred Option)
This option would not effect any trees or require their relocation. The differences between this option and
Option 2 are:
a. It requires the trail to move out around the trees toward the beach more.
b. It requires the beach to move out into the water another 20 feet.
c. It eliminates the use of a retaining wall to maintain the flood control elevation and instead will
require sandbagging the opening of the trail at the Mills Avenue crossing at flood stages.
A total saving with this option over Option 2 is approximately $67,000. It will create a very pleasing opening in
the levee at the Mills intersection to actually view into the lake by eliminating the wall and lowering the levee in
this area
Staff has consulted with the Community Development Director and Public Works Director as to Option 3 and its
viability and workability. They have concurred that Option 3 is the best option.
The Job Corps/Operating Engineers will be doing the removal of the Turner Road wall and sidewalk, all the
grading, and preparation work for the new trail. Their work will start the week of November 1 e.
Advertisement of bids is for the following work: trail and park lighting, new PA system for lifeguards, electrical,
asphalt trail, wrought iron fence, covered shelter, concrete walkways, and new bulkhead and railing along the
lake.
