AGENDA TITLE:Adopt Resolution Awarding Contract for Church Street Bike and Pedestrian
lmprovement Project to A.M. Stephens Construction Co., lnc., of Lodi
($1,220,878), and Authorizing City Manager to Execute Change Orders ($250,000)
MEETING DATE: October 7,2020
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution awarding contract for Church Street Bike and
Pedestrian lmprovement Project to A.M. Stephens Construction Co.,
lnc., of Lodi, in the amount of $1,220,878, and authorizing City
Manager to execute change orders in an amount not to exceed $250,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project is located on Church Street, from Chestnut Street 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, modifying the signal equipment to provide bike detection at
intersections, and installing other pedestrian accessibility enhancements.
This project was originally approved for bidding on October 2,2019. After receiving bids that far
exceeded the funding available, Staff recommended Council reject all bids to allow Staff to modify the
plans to reduce costs. The modifications eliminated project elements that do not impact the original
project goals, such as using existing signal poles and simplifying traffic striping. The resulting cost
savings is approximately $750,000.
Specifications for this project were approved on June 3, 2020. The City received the following three bids
for this project on September 9,2020:

General Fund.

Agenda ltem C-7 Church Street Project Oct7,2020 blue sheet.
This is the third request for making traffic flow changes on Oak and Walnut
Streets as previously outlined. These two streets are too narrow for 2way traffic
with parking on both sides of the street. Long wheel based vehicles parked on
both sides of the street leave only enough room for one car at a time to travel
through. My original request was first of all in consideration of the City to make
economical additions to the mentioned project on Church St, at the time of
construction and not have to spend a more excessive amount at a later date.
Since this request has been ignored, I assume the City does not want to study or
reach out to the Citizens of Lodi to pursue this change. This is unfortunate, as it
will continue to be a burden on the Citizens of Lodi to struggle with this
bottleneck. I assume bicycle clearance safety is more important than vehicle
safety clearance.
