Draft Letter requesting California Highway Patrol assistance
RECOMMENDATION: ~Approve draft letter and authorize the Mayor to sign letter
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The estimated cost for the Department of California Highway Patrol
(CHP) services to enhance enforcement in the construction work
zone is $22,000. This cost is included in the construction funds
being advanced by the developers and will be credited against
the required Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fees for various
developments.
DESCRIPTION: The Interstate 580/Tassajara Road Interchange Improvement project
will require closing lanes on the 1-580 mainline during day- and nighttime construction of the project.
The CHP typically provides enforcement services on Caltrans-sponsored construction projects to enhance
enforcement in construction work zones within lane closures on the freeway mainline.
In order to acquire these services for the City's project, the City must enter into an agreement with the
CHP. A formal letter of request from the City Council is required to start the processing of the agreement.
The agreement will be presented to the Council for final approval at a later date.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the draft letter and authorize the Mayor to sign the letter.

SUBJECT: 1-580/TassajaraJSanta Rita Road Interchange Project
Dear Captain Noble:
The City of Dublin is in the process of implementing a highway improvement project
within Alameda County under a Caltrans encroachment permit. The City is requesting
assistance from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to enhance enforcement in
construction work zones within closed lanes during freeway closures. The services
requested of the CHP will be similar to Construction Zone Enforcement Enhancement
Policy (COZEEP) services utilized on Caltrans construction projects.
It is anticipated that CHP services for enhanced enforcement on the project will be
needed from March 2002 to October 2003. The estimated total cost of $22,000
contemplated for CHP services is based on rates for two officers per night closure.
Please contact Ferd Del Rosario, Sr. Civil Engineer, in the City's Public Works
Department at (925) 833-6630 to coordinate the preparation of the agreement. The City
will seek authorization from the City Council to execute an agreement for the agreed-
upon amount.
Your assistance in this process is greatly appreciated, and the City looks forward to
working with the CHP on this important project.
Sincerely,
Janet Lockhart
Mayor
