BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi was 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. Council approved the grant submittal on December 16, 2015 and the City received funds in June 2016. This project consisted of installing wrought iron security fencing, automated sliding gates, gate access control systems, and a pedestrian swing gate to secure the transit station bus parking area. The work also included replacing a damaged driveway, installing a concrete accessible path of travel, replacing damaged and uneven driveway pavers, resetting pavers that have settled, and other incidental and related work. Plans and specifications for this project were approved on July 19, 2017. The contract was awarded on November 1, 2017, to Diede Construction, Inc., of Woodbridge, in the amount of $296,329. The contract was completed within the contract requirements. Photos of the completed work are shown in Exhibit A. The final contract amount was $326,627. The difference between the original contract amount and the final contract amount was due to two change orders, totaling $30,299. Change Order No. 1 included additional concrete and paver work, gate reader devices for each bus to operate the vehicle gate, and safety training of contractor staff required by Union Pacific Railroad ($26,545). Change Order No. 2 was for repairs to the new fence resulting from a vehicle accident ($3,754). The City will seek restitution form the vehicle owner for the damages. 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 the security fencing installation funded by Transit operations. Staff anticipates a decrease in vehicle repair costs associated with vandalized vehicles in an unprotected area.
