AGENDA TITLE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Phase II of the
Train Station Project
MEETING DATE: February 1, 1995
SUBMITTED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council concur with staff negotiating an
agreement for engineering services for Phase II of the
Train Station Project. If such an agreement is
reached, it will be brought back to City Council for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council will recall it appointed two citizens, Jack
Fiori and Ken Boyd to a committee to review the
proposals for Phase II of the Train Station Project.
That committee, which consisted of Ken Boyd, Jack Fiori, Richard Prima, City of
Lodi Staff; and Stacy Mortensen, County Department of Public Works; and Bob van
Rooyan, CalTrans Division of Rail. They reviewed a total of seven proposals
and interviewed four.
The procedure from this point on is to make an effort to work out a
satisfactory agreement with the number one selection - Wilbur Smith and
Associates (WSA). WSA did the first phase of the study and is familiar with
the City of Lodi, its staff and we are comfortable with again working with them.
Their bid cost was $272,930. This is within $3,100 of the entire budget and
leaves little or nothing for contingencies. We are reviewing their proposal to
determine if the scope of work outlined can in anyway be reduced in order to
reduce the cost of the project.
We have notified WSA they were the number one selection of the committee and
have asked them for some suggestions to reduce the cost of the project. That
action was taken on Thursday, January 19, 1995. We have received some
preliminary ideas; however, the principal is away from the office this week,
but has indicated their delight in their selection and expressed a willingness
to work with us in coming to a satisfactory agreement.

Staff is requesting that Council direction to continue working with Wilbur
Smith and Associates until we either come to a satisfactory agreement or feel
there is not a place where both parties are comfortable. In either case, we
will continue to keep Council abreast of what is developing and no definitive
agreement will be signed off by City Staff until we have received Council
approval.
Funding: None at this time
