AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for 2014 GrapeLine Bus Stop Improvements
MEETING DATE: April 1, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept improvements under contract for 2014 GrapeLine Bus Stop
Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction Company, Inc.,
of Lodi, on June 4, 2014, in the amount of $277,083.90. The contract has
been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications approved by City Council.
The project consisted of constructing improvements at 29 bus stop locations on the GrapeLine's fixed -route
bus system. Six bus stops received new concrete pads, 11 received benches on existing concrete pads, three
received relocated shelters, and nine received new concrete and shelters. Each new shelter included a bench
and a trash can.
The contract completion date was October 15, 2014, and the actual completion date was February 27, 2015.
The scope of work expanded during construction to address ADA compliance issues. The majority of the work
was completed by the original contract date with a few minor items such as sign relocations and screen
installations, delaying the completion until February.
The final contract price was $ 342,143.01. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract
price is mainly due to removing and replacing additional concrete at a number of the stops in order to comply
with current ADA slope requirements.
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.
