AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for 2021 Downtown Paver Maintenance
Project
MEETING DATE: December 1, 2021
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Accept improvements under contract for 2021 Downtown Paver
Maintenance Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1998, the Central City Revitalization Improvement Project
installed brick pavers on School Street from Lodi Avenue to
Locust Street. The pavers were installed in the street and in the
middle of the sidewalk (with concrete bands on both sides). Over time, the pavers sink, and/or in many
places, the adjacent concrete or tree roots lift the pavers. The uneven pavers at these locations create
potential tripping hazards all along the corridor, exposing the City to potential liability.
The project was awarded to Earth Shelter Developers, of Lodi, in the amount of $117,898. The contract
has been completed in substantial conformance with the specifications approved by City Council. There
was one change order in the amount of $7,538 to add an additional repair area to the scope of work
requested by staff.
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: By performing periodic paver maintenance, the City reduces its exposure
to trip and fall related claims.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by the Street Fund (30099000.77020).
