Assistant City Manager
Sorrento at Dublin Ranch I LP, a California Limited Partnership, entered into a Tract
Improvement Agreement with the City of Dublin on April 4, 2006, for the construction of street
and other tract improvements associated with Tract 7641 (City Council Resolution No. 35 -06),
encompassing the Sorrento West development in Dublin Ranch. These improvements included
construction of Grafton Street between Central Parkway and Gleason Drive.
Originally, SR Structured Lot Options provided Faithful Performance and Labor and Materials
Bonds, each in the amount of $1,171,000.00 (Bond No. 6321873) issued by Safeco Insurance
Company of America, to guarantee construction of the Grafton Street improvements.
On October 2, 2007, the City deemed construction of the Grafton Street improvements to be
more than 75% complete, and approved partial release of securities provided for the Grafton
Street improvements (City Council Resolution 178 -07). The developer provided a Decreased
Rider for both their Faithful Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds, each in the amount of
$293,000.00 (Bond No. 6321873) to guarantee the construction of the remaining improvements
for Grafton Street.
On June 17, 2008, the City approved the Resolution Accepting Improvements and Approving
Regulatory Traffic Control Device for the Grafton Street and Central Parkway Traffic Signal,
(Resolution No. 99 -08).
The First Amendment to the Agreement for Long Term Encroachments for Landscape Features
with Tracts 7641, 7642, 7643, 7644, and 7645 will add the pedestrian bridge at Grafton Street to
the list of improvements to be maintained by the Master Homeowner's Association for Sorrento
West.
The developer has recently completed construction of the Grafton Street improvements, and
has requested that Grafton Street be formally accepted by the City. The $293,000.00 security
for these improvements is no longer needed for that purpose; the developer has submitted a
Warranty Bond, in the amount of $293,000.00, issued by Safeco Insurance of America (Bond
No. 6321873M), to guarantee against construction defects for a one -year period.
The following regulatory traffic control devices will be accepted and approved as part of this
project and added to the City of Dublin Traffic Code:
A. No parking on both sides of Grafton Street between Central Parkway and Gleason
Drive.
B. Crosswalk on Grafton Street at south side of intersection of Gleason Drive.
