During Fiscal Year 1986-87, the Agencies maintained signals at the following intersections in the City: Alameda County Amador Valley Boulevard - Village Parkway Amador Valley Boulevard - Donohue Drive Amador Valley Boulevard - Regional Street Amador Valley Boulevard - Stagecoach Road Dublin Boulevard - Dougherty Road Dublin Boulevard - Amador Plaza Road Dublin Boulevard - Golden Gate Drive Dublin Boulevard - Clark Avenue Dublin Boulevard - Village Parkway Dublin Boulevard - Sierra Court Dublin Boulevard - Regional Street Dublin Boulevard - Dublin Court San Ramon Road - Amador Valley Boulevard San Ramon Road - Shannon Avenue Contra Costa County Alcosta Boulevard - Davona Drive (Dublin 25% - San Ramon 75%) CalTrans Dublin Boulevard - San Ramon Road (Dublin 75% - State 25%) The services provided by each agency involve all aspects of traffic maintenance including: 1) preventative maintenance 2 ) extraordinary repairs 3 ) emergency call-outs Technical direction is provided to signal contractors by TJKM when signal • phasing changes or improvements are authorized by the City. During Fiscal Year 1985-86, the actual cost to the City for maintenance services under each contract is identified below: COPIES TO: ITEM NO. • Agency Actual 1985-86 Alameda County $ 40, 176 Contra Costa County 331 • CalTrans 4, 373 Total $ 44, 880 * * Does not include utility costs . • Contract Performance Alameda County has provided a high level of traffic signal maintenance service to the City since incorporation-. The City' s Public Works Inspection Staff, who have worked with County on an ongoing basis, have indicated that the County' s response time is good (see attached Exhibit 3 ) . There have been no reported complaints regarding the level of service provided by Contra Costa County to the signal at Alcosta Boulevard and Davona Drive. Since the City of Dublin is only responsible for 25% of the signal, it is likely that the maintenance services would continue to be provided by Contra Costa County. The City has had more signal problems with the intersection at San Ramon Road & Dublin Boulevard. The signal seems to malfunction much more often than signals at other City intersections, and the response time has typically been much longer by the State. At this time, the State of California does control the intersection, and all changes to its operation require State approval . Fiscal Year 1987-88 Services The City' s contract with Alameda County for Street Maintenance Services expires on June 30, 1987 . The City' s contracts with Contra Costa County and CalTrans are ongoing unless terminated with notice. • Changes in services for Fiscal Year 1987-88 are necessitated due to the addition of the following signals and signal equipment: Traffic Signals (New) Amador Valley Boulevard - Amador Plaza Road Village .Parkway - Lewis Avenue San Ramon Road - Silvergate Drive Traffic Signal Interconnect Equipment The completion of the Traffic Signal Interconnect project will initially impact all traffic signals on Dublin Boulevard. In order for the system to be properly completed and maintained, it will be necessary for the City to assume responsibility for the maintenance_ of the traffic signal system at Dublin Boulevard & San Ramon Road. In order to accomplish this , a modification to the City' s existing agreement with CalTrans will be required. Staff has preliminarily evaluated the possibility of contracting with the private sector for traffic signal maintenance. The initial cost included as part of a private sector agreement is $26, 000/year. Although this agreement initially appears less expensive than those services provided by the County. Staff has not had sufficient time to determine : 1) Is the same amount of service included in the private proposal as the County' s service? 2) Is there sufficient supervision of the traffic signal maintenance function under the private signal maintenance . proposal, and if not, are there additional costs which will need to be incurred by the City; 3) Will the contractor provide spare parts in the event that a controller needs to be repaired off-site; 4 ) Can emergency response time equivalent to the County be guaranteed; and 5) Does the contractor have the expertise to maintain and repair the traffic signal interconnect system? Since these issues are not resolved at this time, it is Staff ' s recommendation that the City Council request that Alameda County submit a proposed contract for the upcoming Fiscal Year. In the meantime, Staff will attempt to find answers to the questions regarding private contract signal maintenance and report to the Council prior to the adoption of the budget and the execution of a contract with the County. 111 AGREEMENT — STREET:MAINTENANCE THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of i , 1985, by and between the COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, hereinafter referr_• to as "COUNTY", and the CITY OF DUBLIN, hereinafter referred to as "CITY"; RECITALS: a.

I have worked with the Alameda County Signals Maintenance Department for nearly three years. During this period, the City of Dublin has installed signal systems at the intersections of Dublin Blvd. and Amador Plaza, Clark, and Dublin Court; Amador Valley Blvd. and Stagecoach Road; and San Ramon Road and Alcosta Blvd. With the exception of the latter, Alameda County Signals did the final punch lists on these signals prior to City acceptance. In each, their inspection was excellent and according to strict specifications. The problems with these signals have been minimal. S The problems of the Dublin signal systems have been minimal also because of the consistently high standard of maintenance conducted by Alameda County. On that rare occasion when a signal has malfunctioned, Alameda County has had a repair crew on site within 30 minutes. V I have found Mario Mendes and his crew to be extremely conscientious and well-trained. They have been very helpful in interpretation of specifications and explanation of the mechanics of various systems. The City of Dublin is well-served by the Alameda County Signals Department. - DS/gr �, ,
