AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Transit Station Security Fencing
Project
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2019
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Accept improvements under contract for Transit Station Security
Fencing Project.
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.
