COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Group 1 of Countywide Improvement Standards
MEETING DATE: March 17, 1993
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt Group 1 of the Countywide
Improvement Standards and authorize the Public Works Director,
to adopt and revise future Improvement Standards (Standard
Plans).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Countywide Improvement Standards Committee was formed
by the Public Works•Directors of the jurisdictions within
San Joaquin County for the purpose of developing uniform
improvement standards that would be used throughout San
Joaquin County. The City of Lodi refers to these improvement standards as Standard
Plans. The Committee started meeting in October 1991 and has held monthly meetings
since that time. To date, the Committee has reviewed various types of curb, gutter
and sidewalk details and driveway details.
The first group of Improvement Standards (attached) includes concrete construction
notes, expansion joints, weakened plane joints and score lines, roll curb, gutter
and sidewalk, and vertical curb, gutter and sidewalk and is now ready for adoption.
The Committee solicited comments from engineers, contractors and concrete plants in
the County; however, the response from the private sector was minimal. All comments
were reviewed and were incorporated into the drawings where possible.
Adoption of these Standard Plans will benefit all communities as well as the
building industry in that having a uniform set of standards within the County should
have a positive effect on lowering construction costs. Contractors will know that
the construction standards will be the same throughout the County and they will no
longer need to check each jurisdiction's Standard Plans. The Countywide Improvement
Standards will be drawn in a different format than Lodi's Standard Plans so that
contractors will know the difference between the two.
The Commitee is continuing to meet to prepare additional Standard Plans for
countywide adoption.

Ord. No. 1568, -Public Hearing to consider adoption of uniform

Representatives of the BIA of the Delta are scheduled to meet with
Larry Test, a member of the Countywide Improvement Standards Task
Force, in the late afternoon on Wednesday, March 17, for purposes
of discussing and clarifying certain important elements of the Task
Force proposal. As this new countywide policy represents
potentially significant impacts on our industry, we would
appreciate -tie opportunity to offer informed comments at the
Council's public hearing on this item, and March 17 will be the
first opportunity provided to the BIA to exchange information on
this issue with a member of the Task Force.
we appreciate your thoughtful consideration of our request.
very truly yours,
Linda J. Melton
