*The cost of Alternate #1, the fifth sign on Dougherty Road at the northerly
City Limit, will be reimbursed by developer contribution from J.L.
Construction (Village V).
The portion of the base bid for the City Entrance Signs is within funds
budgeted; however, the addition of Alternate 1 causes the project cost to
exceed the budget by $8,366. Although the cost of Alternate 1 ($9,000) will
be reimbursed, it is necessary to transfer funds into the City Entrance
Signs Capital Improvement Project to pay the cost of the work.
If the City Council determines that Alternates 2 and 3 for lighting the
signs are to be includeD, the budget transfer for the City Entrance Signs
project would be in the amount of $19,811.
A budget transfer to the'Park and Pool Signs Capital Improvement Project in
the amount of $15,525 would also be necessary if the bid is awarded.
Total amount of both budget transfers is $23,891 without lighting the City
Entrance Signs or $35,336 if lighting is approved.

J.L. Construction
DESCRIPTION:
On April 23, 1990, the City Council authorized Staff to solicit bids for
Contract 90-07, Entry and Facilities Identification Signs.
This project provides for installation of City Entrance Signs at five
locations: Dougherty Road at Dublin Boulevard, Dougherty Road at the
northerly City Limit, Village Parkway at Kimball Avenue, San Ramon Road at
Dublin Boulevard, and San Ramon Road at Alcosta Boulevard. The City Council
approved the design for the signs at the April 9th meeting. Initially, it
was hoped to landscape around the sign at the 1-580/Dougherty Road location.
As there is no nearby water connection, this landscaping will be postponed
until the Dougherty Road widening project is constructed.
The sign on Dougherty Road at the northerly City Limit was included as an
alternate in the bid documents because Staff did not know at the time
whether J.L. Construction would elect to provide the sign or to reimburse
the City for its cost. At this time, Staff has not received a definite
response from J.L. Construction and has therefore included the sign in the
contract. If J.L. Construction opts to provide the sign, Alternate 1 will
be removed from the contract by change order.
Also included in this project are the signs for the Dublin Swim Center,
Dublin Sports Grounds, and Mape Park. A project to construct these signs
was bid in February; however, the low bid received at that time was $59,643,
which was considerably higher than the estimated cost for the work.
Singer and Hodges reduced the scale of these signs in an effort to obtain
lower prices, and the landscaping improvements associated with the signs are
not included at this time. As a comparison, the total bid received for the
park signs only, along with their related improvements and a portion of the
mobilization and demolition cost, is $29,071 ($30,572 less than the previous
bid).
The City received a total of four bids (see attached bid summary) for the
combined project. The low bidder, Golden Bay Construction, did not include
a copy of Bid Addendum Number One with their proposal package. Since the
format of the addendum contains language indicating that the signed addendum
must be included with the bid, it is recommended that Golden Bay
Construction's bid be rejected and that the bid be awarded to the lowest
responsive bidder, Collishaw Construction, with a base bid of $62,800 (total
with alternates of $82,700).
The utility fees budgeted for the City Entrance Signs will not be used, as
no new water lines are being installed; therefore, the available
construction funds for the City Entrance Signs total $36,500. The lowest
responsive bid for the City Entrance Signs portion, including Alternate 1,
was $42,729. Allowing for a 5% contingency, a budget transfer in the amount
of $8,366 to this Capital Improvement Project would be necessary to award
the bid. If the cost of the Alternate #1 sign, which is being offset by a
reimbursement, were removed from the total, the City Entrance Sign project
would be within budget.
Addition of the lighting alternates #2 and #3, including a 5% contingency,
would add $11,445 to the cost of the project. If the City Council wishes to
include the lighting for the City Entrance Signs, the total amount of the
contract as indicated in the resolution would need to be revised to $82,700.
The total budget transfer for the City Entrance Signs would need to be
increased to $19,811.
The bid for the Park and Pool (Facilities) signs totals $29,071, or $14,071
in excess of funds budgeted. Allowing a 5% contingency, $15,525 would need
to be transferred to the Park and Pool Signs Capital Improvement Project.
Staff recommends that the City Council (1) reject the bid s~omitted by
Golden Bay Construction, determine whether lighting for the City Entrance
Signs should be included in the contract, adopt the resolution awarding the
bid to Collishaw Construction, and authorize the necessary budget transfers
from unallocated reserves.
