AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Kettleman Lane Bus Stop Improvements
MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:
April 1, 2015
Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for Kettleman Lane Bus Stop
Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc.,
of Lodi, in the amount of $45,874, on June 4, 2014. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
The project consisted of constructing improvements at four bus stop locations along Kettleman Lane
(Highway 12) on the GrapeLine's fixed -route bus system. One stop received new concrete and
three locations received new concrete and shelters. Each new shelter included a bench and a trash can.
The original contract completion date was October 15, 2014, and the actual completion date was
February 27, 2015. Most of the work was completed by the original contract date with a few minor items,
such as sign relocations and a mailbox replacement, delaying the final completion until February. The final
contract price was $46,229. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to
City requested increases in concrete quantities.
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 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.
