AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 2016 Cherokee
Lane Accessibility Improvement Project
MEETING DATE: June 1, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
2016 Cherokee Lane Accessibility Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of removing Americans with Disabilities (ADA)
accessibility barriers at 12 locations along Cherokee Lane. The
improvements consist of constructing 10 curb ramps and
constructing sidewalk at four "gap" locations.
The proposed locations of the improvements are listed below and shown on Exhibit A.
1) Northwest corner of Railroad Avenue and Cherokee Lane, extending up to Lockeford
Street (ramp and sidewalk)
2) Southwest corner of Oak Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
3a) Northwest corner of Walnut Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
3b) Southwest corner of Walnut Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
4a) Northwest corner of Eden Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
4b) Southwest corner of Eden Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
5a) Northwest corner of Harold Street and Cherokee Lane, extending up to the alley (ramp
and sidewalk)
5b) Southwest corner of Harold Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
6) 815 South Cherokee Lane (sidewalk)
7a) Northwest corner of Vine Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
7b) Southwest corner of Vine Street and Cherokee Lane (ramp)
8) 917 South Cherokee Lane (sidewalk)
These locations were selected based on discussions with the Lodi Improvement Committee and a field
survey conducted by staff along the Cherokee Lane corridor.
Location 5a is notable since it includes the removal of two City -owned London plane trees that are
approximately 32 inches in diameter (see Exhibit B), and are currently located 30 inches from an adjacent
front yard fence. The tree removals are necessary to obtain the minimum -required ADA sidewalk width
of 48 inches. Inspection of both trees by a certified arborist determined that various deformities and
infectious diseases are present in the trees. Abnormal branch growth is present due to many years of
utility line clearance pruning.

An alternative to removing the trees would be to eliminate this portion of the sidewalk from the scope of
work, however, an accessibility barrier along this portion of Cherokee Lane would remain. This area is
undesirable for replanting because there is no irrigation present and the trees are located directly under
the utility lines.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
June 29, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on total maintenance cost but will
reduce the City's liability associated with accessibility barriers and continue
our effort to increase accessibility citywide.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
