body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Lodi Lake North restroom was damaged by an arson fire on June 4, 2023. City Council, at its October 18, 2023 meeting, approved a contract with WMB Architects, Inc. of Stockton, California to perform design services. The services include 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 Architects, Inc. to complete the design, permit and bid documents. This project includes architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and ADA Code requirements. City staff is working with our insurance carrier on a mutually agreeable settlement. Staff will work with the architects and Kaler General Contractors, Inc. to determine value engineering concepts to establish potential savings that do not alter the design intent of the project. The plans and specifications for this project were approved on November 20, 2024 and publicly advertised as required. The City received the following bids for this project on January 30, 2025.

Existing appropriations are available in the amount of $800,000.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
The City has a self-insured retention (SIR) of $250,000 per incident for property damage. This requires the City to fund the first $250,000 of project costs. The SIR was allocated on July 19, 2023, under Resolution 2023-154 as part of the excess reserve one-time funds. An additional $800,000 was appropriated during the 2024-25 fiscal year budget which will be reimbursed with insurance payments. $84,117 has been spent towards project design services, plan duplication and permit fees.
