from Dougherty Road to Tassajara Road
(Report by Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1) Resolution Approving Agreement
2) Agreement ,
3) Copy of proposal from BSK & Associates
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The estimated cost of the work to be performed is
$21,000 for Phase I (Dougherty Road to the Southern
Pacific right-of-way) and $35,000 for Phase II
(Southern Pacific right-of-way to Tassajara Road) .
There are sufficient monies budgeted in the Dublin
Blvd. Extension project, Dougherty Road to Southern
Pacific Railroad right-of-way, for inspection services
to cover this testing work for Phase I, and there are
sufficient monies budgeted in Pleasanton's Dublin
Blvd. Extension project for inspection services to
cover these costs for Phase II work.
DESCRIPTION: The City of Dublin is in the process of extending
Dublin Boulevard from Dougherty Road to Tassajara Road. This road will be
constructed in two phases. Phase I extends from Dougherty Road to the Southern
Pacific Railroad right-of-way. Construction has just started on Phase I and will
continue for approximately six months.
Phase II is being constructed by Pleasanton and will extend from the Southern
Pacific Railroad right-of-way to Tassajara Road. Construction is scheduled to start
in July of 1992 and should take approximately six months. The City of Dublin will
be inspecting this work and will be reimbursed for the costs by Pleasanton up to 5%
of the cost of construction.
Outside soils and construction materials testing and observation is needed for these -
road improvements. On March 31, 1992, the Public Works Department received three
proposals from local qualified engineering firms, all three of which have been
working on different phases of this project. After comparing all three proposals
for past performance, experience, knowledge of the area and site, ability to respond
as needed by the City in a timely manner, and equipment and staffing, Staff
considered BSK & Associates best able to fulfill the City's requirements.
After choosing BSK & Associates as the consultant, Staff opened the fee proposal
package and found BSK & Associates to be in line with the scope of work to be
performed and the fees expected. In accordance with State law, the selection of
engineering and architects and other specified professional services must be based
upon qualifications, rather than bid prices.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the Agreement
with BSK & Associates.

Subject: Technical Proposal
Construction Materials Testing/Observation Services
Dublin Boulevard Extension
Between Dougherty and Tassajara Roads
Dublin/Alameda County, California
Gentlemen:
In response to your Request for Proposal (RFP) dated March 20, 1992,we are submitting
this proposal to provide earthwork and materials testing and observation services
regarding the above-referenced project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
Based on your RFP and our recent discussion with Mr. Mehran Sepehri, Senior Civil
Engineer for the City of Dublin, it is our understanding that the project consists of two
phases. Phase I involves construction of a two- to six-lane extension of Dublin Boulevard
from Dougherty Road to the Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-way, as well as widening
a portion of Dougherty Road to the north of Dublin Boulevard, and a short segment of
Chabot Drive to the south. As part of this phase, a box culvert will be installed to cross
Chabot Creek. The Phase I construction will include storm drain, sewer and other
underground utilities and concrete sidewalk work. Phase I is anticipated to start in
early April and be completed within six months. Phase II consists of construction of a
two-lane roadway to extend Dublin Boulevard eastward from the Southern Pacific
Railroad Right-of-way to Tassajara Road,including the south-north extension of Hacienda
Drive on the north side of I-580, and construction of a concrete bridge over Tassajara
Creek. A minimum amount of underground utility work is planned within Phase II
improvements. This phase is anticipated to start in early July 1992 and be completed
within six months as well.

We have reviewed construction plans for Phase I work; however, no specifications or
schedule were available for our review. The Phase II work is in the design stage, hence, no
plans and specifications have been available to review. The type of foundation for
the planned concrete bridge is not known at this time. However, we anticipate that the
bridge may be supported either on cast-in-place drilled piers or pre-cast concrete driven
piles.
SCOPE OF WORK
An outline of the required tasks for construction testing/observation services is given in the
RFP. The workscope consists of(a) performing observation and compaction testing during
site grading and providing pile driving/installation inspection; (b) obtaining three concrete
test cylinders per 50 cubic yard concrete pours and possibly special inspection services in
connection with the box culvert and bridge construction; and (c) performing laboratory
materials compliance testing and field in-place density testing for soils, aggregate subbase,
aggregate base, and asphalt concrete; (d) review of mix designs for concrete and asphalt; and
(e) providing daily and final summary reports for field and laboratory activities.
PROJECT APPROACH
In order to ensure compliance with the project plans and specifications, we would perform
the following quality control/quality assurance tasks under the directions of an experienced
Project Manager.
Field and Laboratory Work
We propose to have a sufficient number of experienced soils technicians and construction
inspectors with appropriate equipment (depending on the design aspects of improvements
and construction schedule) to carry out the following functions:
1) Sample site soils, import fill (if any), aggregate subbase, aggregate base, trench
backfill materials, and asphalt concrete for compliance testing in our Pleasanton
laboratory.
2) Perform field compaction testing using a nuclear gauge on compacted sections.
3) Fabricate concrete cylinders for compressive strength tests in the laboratory.

4) Observe pile driving/installations and document pile type, size, blow counts, and
depth of penetrations.
5) Perform compliance density testing on asphalt paving, and obtain bulk samples for
extraction-gradation and specific gravity tests in our laboratory.
6) Inspect and test the structural steel, per plans and specifications, related to bridge
and culvert construction.
7) Prepare daily factual reports to document the field activities and test results.
The efforts of our field staff will be directed by the City Public Works staff assigned to the
project. The field and laboratory tests will be performed in accordance with California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), City of Dublin Standards and ASTM methods.
Engineering Consultation and Office Support
The BSK Project Manager will provide geotechnical consultation, if required, during the
earthwork phase of the project. He will also review daily reports, attend_ site meetings (if
required), and prepare monthly summary reports containing results of field and laboratory
activities.
