BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project was awarded to A. M. Stephens Construction Co., Inc., of Lodi, on November 18, 2020, in the amount of $467,578. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications. This project consisted of removing accessibility barriers near seven GrapeLine bus stops, installing 27 curb ramps, and associated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant paths of travel to the bus stop locations that lack accessibility. The project also installed an advertisement compatible shelter, including lighting, a bench, and a trash can. The locations of the completed improvements are shown on Exhibit A. The original contract completion date was April 23, 2021 and the actual contract completion date was July 1, 2021. The delay was needed to determine if project funding could support additional (spare) bus shelter parts. The final cost of the project was $508,915. The difference between the original contract amount and the final contract amount was due to two change orders. Change Order 1 ($18,878.50) was to perform additional storm drainage piping to accommodate an unknown line conflict and to repair landscape and irrigation due to a change in sidewalk grade. Change Order 2 ($22,458.80) was to reconcile changes in unit bid items actually installed. 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 new shelter, which will be absorbed in the Transit Operations budget. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Transit Capital (60199000.77020). CEZ�; Charles E.
