AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Stockton Street
Reconstruction (Tokay Street to Lodi Avenue and Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street)
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Stockton Street Reconstruction project is the result of several years
of planning and research that considered many alternatives. The
project design selection was collaboratively made with input from the
City residents in the area. Aside from the restoration of the surface
improvements (sidewalks, parkways, lighting, and asphalt), a significant element of this project is the
reconstruction of major water and wastewater pipes. These pipes are integral to upgrading the level of
service for water and wastewater utilities on the East Side of the City.
These two projects consist of reconstructing Stockton Street from Tokay Street to Lockeford Street. The
reconstruction includes removing and replacing asphalt concrete payment; repairing damaged curb,
gutter, and sidewalks; installing new street lights; installing new water mains; replacing old wastewater
pipes; upgrading storm drain facilities, and other miscellaneous and related work, all as shown on the
plans and specifications for "Stockton Street Reconstruction, Tokay Street to Lodi Avenue" and
"Stockton Street Reconstruction, Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street."
In order to reduce the construction time for the projects, staff recommends dividing the Stockton Street
reconstruction project from Tokay Street to Lockeford Street into two separate projects. The staging of
work in one project area will not impact the work in the other area. This allows the opportunity for two
separate prime contractors to bid the jobs and hence reduce the necessary number of working days to
complete the project.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FUNDING: The money for these projects will be coming primarily from federal funds. A request for
appropriation of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate $ 657,000 (Tokay Street to Lodi Avenue)
$1,300,000 (Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street)
