Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids
for the Church Street Bike and Pedestrian lmprovement Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 6,2019, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a
cooperative agreement with the San Joaquin Council of Governments
to utilize Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to School
Competitive Measure K funding for this project. A public meeting was held at the Lodi Chamber of
Commerce on February 27 ,2019 and a project presentation was given at a shirtsleeve meeting on April 30,
2019.
The project is located on Church Street, from Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street and includes resurfacing
the roadway, reducing the existing four travel lanes to two travel lanes, installing a two-way left-turn lane,
installing Class ll bike lanes, modiñ7ing the signal equipment to provide bike detection at intersections,
and installing other pedestrian accessibility enhancements.
On October 2,2019, Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for bids.
The bids received on October 2,2019 were substantially higher than estimated and exceeded the
available grant and localfunding. On November 20,2019, Council rejected all bids and directed Staff to
revisit the project in 2020.
To reduce costs, Staff revised the original design by eliminating project elements that do not impact the
original project goals to include Class ll bike lanes and video detection equipment for bike detection. The
project savings will mainly come from using existing traffic signal poles instead of purchasing new poles
and simpliffing the traffic striping on Church Street, while still meeting California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices requirements. The redesign of the project is estimated to save $750,000 on
project cost.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
June 24,2020. Project award is anticipated to be July 22,2020.
FISCAL IMPACT There will be a slight increase in traffic signal and striping maintenance
costs and a minimal long-term cost-savings related to the pavement
resurfacing and pedestrian improvements
