BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
There are approximately 400 miles of sidewalk within the City of Lodi. The State of California Streets and Highways code establishes that it is a property owner’s responsibility to maintain the abutting sidewalk in a condition that will not endanger persons or property nor interfere with public use.
On October 5, 2005, Council adopted a Sidewalk Maintenance Policy (Resolution 2005-218) which identifies certain sidewalk defects that will be remedied by the City at no cost to the adjacent property owner. The sidewalk defects remedied by the City primarily include offsets that range between ¾” to 1 ½” or minor irregularities. The overarching goals of the policy are to encourage walking and improve safety by reducing the number of defects in the sidewalk, improve the sidewalk system for persons with disabilities and reduce the City’s liability exposure.
This project consists of grinding approximately 9,000 total lineal feet of 5-Ft. wide sidewalk to address 1,600 offsets at various locations throughout the City. While additional offsets are identified in the latest sidewalk survey, the project scope was limited to funding availability.
On August 7, 2024, Council approved the specifications and authorized advertisement for bids. The City received the following three bids for this project on September 11, 2024:
