DESCRIPTION : At the City Council meeting of July 10, 1989, the City
Council authorized Staff to obtain design services from David L. Gates &
Associates. The first phase of this work was the preparation of plans,
specifications and a cost estimate.
The project involves the construction of a fountain within the Civic Center
courtyard. The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation is working to raise funds to
install a commissioned piece of artwork at this location. Some of the
underground utilities have been installed under the Civic Center
construction contract with Dickman-Nourse, Inc. The fountain project
includes: excavation of the fountain bowl and equipment vault; installation
of mechanical and electrical equipment; placement of stone; and the
installation of the artwork support. Staff anticipates receipt of the bids
prior to the first City Council meeting of September. Once the contractor
is given authorization to proceed, the contract provides a 90 calendar day
construction period. This was established based on delivery estimates
obtained by the Architect.
At the July 10, 1989, City Council meeting, the Council requested that the
Dublin Fine Arts Foundation provide an update on their progress.
Representatives of the Foundation will be in attendance to answer any
questions. The City Council Sub-Committee and Staff will continue to work
with the Foundation on financing the project, once the actual bid amounts
are known.
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report from the
Foundation representatives and authorize the solicitation of competitive
bids.
