AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional
Services Agreement with NJ Associates, Inc., of Lodi, for Conceptual
Architectural Design Services for Affordable Housing, Access Center, and other
Community Development Projects as Needed, in an Amount Not to Exceed
$125,000
MEETING DATE: December 1, 2021
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Professional Services Agreement with NJ Associates, Inc., of
Lodi, for conceptual architectural design services for affordable
housing, Access Center, and other Community Development
projects as needed, in an amount not to exceed $125,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi Community Development Department (CDD) is
tasked with directing the growth and development of the City
through policies adopted in the General Plan. Moreover, the
Neighborhood Services Division under CDD administers federal and state grant resources in support
of programs and services for unsheltered, low -to -moderate income citizens and neighborhoods to
meet the needs of the community. To meet these initiatives effectively and the various projects
underway, there is a need for Architectural Design Services.
Currently CDD is utilizing NJ Associates, Inc. (NJA) for related services. NJA has been utilized on
several projects involving homelessness and affordability. These initiatives are not only high priority at
the local and county levels, but also at the State and Federal levels. It is imperative that these projects
move forward timely and NJA Architecture understands the time sensitive nature and is able to
provide a work product that meets our needs within the timelines provided.
On October 6, 2021, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a purchase agreement in
a form acceptable to the City attorney to complete the purchase 710 North Sacramento to develop the
Lodi Access Center. On October 27, 2021, the purchase of 710 North Sacramento Street closed
escrow and the grant deed transferred and recorded to the City of Lodi. Since NJA has been involved
in the Lodi Access Center from its inception, staff believes their familiarity will enhance the completion
of the project's first phase, programming and space planning.
Additionally, the City will have the opportunity to apply for County, Federal, and State grant resources
for Affordable Housing and other projects for those experiencing homelessness. As stated above for
the same reason staff would like to continue to retain services with NJA to develop conceptual plans
for future affordable housing projects. Due to timing of application deadlines for grant resources and
request for proposals, staff can utilize conceptual design services for future projects with shorter
turnaround times.
The Community Development Department has completed its due diligence and received three quotes
of comparable services including one from NJA Architecture. Based on the quotes received, NJA
Architecture is competitive in its pricing and meets the procurement guidelines of fiscal responsibility.

and endorsements are to be received and approved by the City before work commences. However, failure to obtain the required
documents prior to the work beginning shall not waive the Consultant's obligation to provide them. The City reserves the right to
require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, including endorsements required by these specifications, at
any time. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to exercise after the effective
date.
