BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In the early 2000’s the City constructed the Lodi Station Parking Structure after the Lodi Transit Station building was relocated to the adjacent property. Over the past several years the structure has experienced a significant increase in graffiti, property damage and loitering. In response, the City has increased private security patrols at both the parking garage and the Transit Station. Unfortunately, with these additional efforts problems still persist.
This project will improve security at the structure by installing a roll-up gate at the Elm Street (northern) entrance, and two entrance/exit gates at the Pine Street entrance. These improvements will allow better control of vehicles entering and exiting the structure, as well as improving the effectiveness of on-site security. During downtown events, the Elm Street entrance can be opened to maximize parking access.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid due date is September 9, 2026. The project estimate is $225,000 with a total not-to-exceed, including change orders, contract authority of $250,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project will reduce maintenance costs related to ongoing vandalism. This project will not impact the General Fund.
