FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Dublin/Silver- gate Intersection Topo: Design: Budget for Engr. Work $ 5,000 25,000 $ 30,00o Engineering Proposal for either project as a standalone Engineering Proposal for both projects done simultaneously (Subtotal) $ 11,900 19,100 $ 31,ooo $ (see below for combined costs) Dublin Blvd. Widening Silvergate to Hansen (No budget currently proposed for a future CIP project or project constructed by developer.) Topo: $ 8,800 Design: 14,600 Landscape design for southern slope 10,700 (Subtotal) $ 34,100 Total: $ 65,100 $ 17,200 27,900 9,500 54,600 The engineering work for the Dublin-Silvergate intersection is very close to that budgeted. Staff requested that the consultant's proposal include the widening of Dublin Boulevard from Silvergate to Hansen Drive, as it appears that the Hansen project may place the Dublin Boulevard widening fill as part of the Hansen development agreement now being negotiated. The three options are: 1) To design the Dublin/Silvergate intersection only: $ 31,000 2) To design the Dublin/Silvergate intersection and later the Dublin Boulevard Widening as separate projects: $ 65,100 3) To design both projects as two phases of one set of plans: $ 54,600 ITEM NO. COPIES TO' Bissell & Karn, Inc. (~ITY CLERK If the City chooses OPTION #2, the contract would only include the Dublin/ Silvergate intersection with a City option to design the second project at a later date at the proposed price, plus a percentage increase to cover cost of living rate increases. If the City chooses OPTION #3, a budget transfer will be needed in the amount of $24,600, plus a 10% contingency, or a total of $30,060. It is proposed to pass the cost of these two projects along to the developers of the Hansen project, the Donlan Canyon project, and the western planning and development. For the short term, the City would have to front these costs. DESCRIPTION: The project included in the current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) will modify the Dublin Boulevard/Silvergate Drive intersection back into a "T" intersection, with Dublin Boulevard being the through street. Currently, Dublin Blvd. west of Silvergate Drive is a two-lane street that ends in a cul de sac with few residences and businesses. Most of the traffic travels between Dublin Boulevard east of Silvergate Drive and Silvergate Drive. This pattern will change in the future due to development west of Silvergate Drive close to Dublin Boulevard and the extension of Dublin Boulevard further west with interchanges to the 1-580 freeway. The expected increase in traffic on Dublin Boulevard will make it necessary to also widen Dublin Boulevard from Hansen Drive to Silvergate Drive. It is proposed that these projects will be paid for or costs reimbursed by developers to the west. It is possible that the project would be designed in two phases. Phase I would modify the intersection of Dublin Blvd. and Silvergate Drive, and Phase II would widen Dublin Blvd. from Hansen Drive to approximately 400' west of Silvergate Drive. However, if both phases are designed at the same time, it would be more economical. The current CIP anticipates the City fronting funds for design of this project. Three proposed options are outlined in the Financial Statement above. On July 25, 1991, the Public Works Department received four proposals from local qualified engineering consulting firms. After reviewing all four proposals for past performance, experience, knowledge of the area and site, the proposed design time, and equipment and experience of assigned staff, Staff considered Bissell & Karn, Inc. best able to fulfill the City's requirements. Staff opened the fee proposal package and negotiated the above fees as being reasonable for the scope of the work. In accordance with State Law, the selection of engineers and other specified services must be based upon qualifications rather than bid prices. Combining the design of the two projects would: 1) allow the placement of roadway fill along the south side of Dublin Boulevard by the Hansen Hill developers, rather than pay for imported fill sometime later: and 2) would allow a cost savings of $10,500 in engineering by designing the project as a two-phase project over designing these projects separately. Staff recommends therefore that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the agreement with Bissell & Karn, Inc., for OPTION #3. a:~agenda~bislkarn RESOLUTION NO. -91 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH BISSELL & KARN, INC., FOR DESIGN OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD BETWEEN HANSEN DRIVE AND SILVERGATE DRIVE WHEREAS, the City of Dublin plans to widen Dublin Boulevard between Hansen Drive and Silvergate Drive and modify its intersection with Silvergate Drive; and WHEREAS, contract personnel are needed to perform these technical services; and WHEREAS, Bissell & Karn, Inc., has demonstrated adequate ability to perform the work; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does approve the agreement with Bissell & Karn, Inc., to design Dublin Boulevard between Hansen Drive and Silvergate Drive and modify its intersection with Silvergate, which will include the landscaping design for Dublin Boulevard.

Dear Lee: We have prepared a revised Fee Estimate for the subject engineering design work to reflect recent discussions with you and your staff that have provided a more definitive scope of services. Our revised Fee Estimate is based on the following: · Design embankment slopes without retaining walls for the widened roadway section on the south side of Dublin Blvd. · Landscaping is limited to the median areas and areas adjacent to revised curb lines at the intersection with Silvergate Drive. Any landscaping coordination with adjacent property owners to be handled by City. · Develop alternative preliminary intersection layouts at intersection with Silvergate Drive. · Driveway connections at Dublin Blvd./Hansen Drive intersection to be designed as shown on preliminary layout. Alternative designs will not be studied. · Street improvements will be within existing ROW. · Geotechnical services to be provided by City. · Record of Survey will not be required. Separate fee estimates have been prepared for the following three options: Option 1 Dublin Blvd./Silvergate Drive Intersection Improvements only. Option 2 Widening of Dublin Blvd. from Silvergate Drive to Hansen Drive only. Intersection improvements not included. Option 3 Combination of Options 1 and 2 to be completed as a single Plan and Construction Package.
