BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Salas Park is Lodi’s primary sports facility for youth baseball, softball, soccer and football. The initial phase of work (Phase 1) was accepted by City Council on March 16, 2016, and included the replacement of 8 wood light poles with 8 steel poles along with MUSCO lighting fixtures and components. Phase 2 improvements will include relocation of two of the eight steel poles set in 2016 for better illumination, installation of thirteen (13) new 70' high galvanized steel poles with LED light fixtures, all wiring and integration with the existing Musco Control-Link® Control & Monitoring System and existing switchboard panel, and other incidental and related work, as shown on the plans and specifications for the above project.
On January 15, 2025, Council approved plans and specifications and authorized the City Manager or designee to award the contract to lowest responsive bidder in an amount not-to-exceed $290,000; pre-purchase the sports lighting components from Musco Corporation of Oskaloosa, Iowa for an amount not-to-exceed $960,000; authorize City Manager or designee to execute change orders in an amount not-to-exceed $107,000; and appropriate funds in the amount of $257,628. The bid opening was held April 2, 2025. The City received the following eight bids:

As noted above, the lowest bid by SCC Electric, Inc. exceeded the amount authorized to award by the City Manager by $7,500. To account for the additional $7,500 cost and to provide change order authority to account for unforeseen construction related costs, staff is recommending increasing the change order authority request to $132,500. The pre-purchase of sports lighting components will not be initiated until the contract is executed.
Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution awarding the contract for Salas Park Sports Lighting Improvements (Phase 2) to SCC Electric, Inc. of Novato, California in the amount of $297,500, authorizing City Manager or Designee to execute change orders in an amount not-to-exceed $132,500, and appropriate funds in the amount of $32,420.
