AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Transit
Station Security Fencing Project
MEETING DATE: August 2, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Transit Station Security Fencing Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi was recently awarded $399,000 in grant funding
from the Proposition 1B Transit System Safety, Security and
Disaster Response Account (TSSSDRA) program for security
fencing and cameras. The Council approved the grant submittal on December 16, 2015 and the City
received funds in June 2016 that will provide funding for various safety related Transit projects.
Currently, all 24 of the City's buses park in an unsecured area located south of the Transit Station. The
buses range in value between $200,000 and $500,000 each, depending on the model. Over the past few
years, Transit has experienced vandalism and break-ins at the currently unsecured parking area.
This project will enhance the security of the transit buses and consists of installing 630 lineal feet of 8 -
foot high wrought iron security fencing, two automated driveway sliding gates, and pedestrian gate
equipped with an employee access card reader to secure the Transit Station bus parking area, as shown
on Exhibit A. The entry access control has video recording, phone, and speaker capabilities. This
project also includes replacing concrete sidewalk and miscellaneous improvements required to facilitate
the fence installation. This project also provides for resetting or replacing approximately 900 square feet
of damaged or sunken driveway pavers.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is August 16, 2017. The project estimate is $450,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be an increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated
with the installation of the security and safety equipment that will be funded
by Transit operations.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
