DESCRIPTION: This project consists of two projects included in the City's Capital
Improvement Program, namely 1) City Entrance Landscaping Improvements, and 2) Major Arterial Tree
Well/Median Planting. These projects were incorporated into one contract to reduce their construction
and administration costs.
The City Entrance Landscaping Improvements project would enlarge and improve the bedding areas at the
Citv entrances on Village Parkway at Kimball Avenue and on San Ramon Road at Alcosta Boulevard.
The new plantings would provide color and a "signature statement" entering the City. In addition, the
project would plant new flowering shrubs in all median tree wells on Dublin Boulevard from San Ramon
Road to Dougherty, Amador Valley Boulevard from San Ramon Road to east of Village Parkway and all
of San Ramon Road and Village Parkway. Some of the shrubs in the median bedding areas would also be
replaced with more colorful varieties.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize solicitation of bids for the Arterial Landscaping
Improvement project.
