BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Lodi Lake North restroom was damaged by arson fire on June 4, 2023. At its October 18, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved a contract with WMB Architects, Inc. of Stockton, California (WMB) to perform design services. The services included investigation of the damages, construction documents, permitting, bidding assistance, construction support, as well as associated American Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. City staff worked with WMB to complete the architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and ADA Code requirements.
City Council approved plans and specifications on November 20, 2024. After publicly bidding the project, staff recommended and Council approved award on March 5, 2025, of the construction contract for the Lodi Lake North Restroom Restoration Project to Kaler General Contractors, Inc., of Rancho Cordova, California in the amount of $469,000. The Council action also authorized the City Manager to execute changes orders not to exceed $100,000.
The original contract completion was 120 calendar days. The contract work was suspended on August 7, 2025 due to material procurement lead time for the pump control panel. Contract work was reinstated on October 21, 2025 and completed on November 8, 2025. The final contract price was $516,717. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is due to three (3) change order adjustments totaling $47,717, refer to Attachment 1.
A general description of each Change Order is noted below.
Change Order 1 ($33,574):
• Changed the toilet partitions from powdered coated steel partitions to brushed stainless steel.
• Scraped loose plaster from interior and exterior masonry walls damaged by the fire and applied a new skim coat of plaster and filled old plumbing location holes within the masonry walls.
• Relocated the electrical panel to a uni-strut rack, added a new disconnect switch and added exterior wall mounted electrical cans for the lift station pump operations.
Change Order 2 ($3,807):
• Changes for pump panel configuration for proper operations.
Change Order 3 ($10,336):
• Accounted for work suspension due to material lead times, and additional pump panel operations.
This contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council on November 20, 2024. Before and after photos are attached, Attachment 2.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the Parks Superintendent will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s Office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30-day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
