testing services. On September 16, 2020, Staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the

SCOPE OF WORK
INTRODUCTION
This project will construct a Class 1 bicycle and pedestrian truss arch bridge over Dublin Boulevard
near the Dublin Boulevard and Scarlett Drive intersection. The bridge will provide safer and easier
Iron Horse Trail access, including access to and from the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station, and will
connect two existing segments of the Iron Horse Trail, creating a total separation of bicyclists and
pedestrians from motorized vehicles. Construction work will generally consist of miscellaneous
clearing and demolition, cast-in-place footing construction, retaining wall installation, bridge
fabrication and erection, ADA ramp and steel railing installation, trail lighting installation, and any
associated paving work.
The project’s current engineer’s estimate is between $7 and $8 million with an estimated project
construction length of 240 working days. Project working hours are anticipated to be Monday through
Friday with standard allowable working hours (approximately 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM). Special
construction conditions may require Saturday, Sunday, and night work.
The PS&E package is currently at approximately 95% completion and the documents are ready for
constructability and bid process review. The City and its design consultant are currently finalizing the
license agreement for construction work on Alameda County land.

Study/Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND) was approved by the City Council
on April 7, 2020. Per the SMND, the DCEIR adequately addresses the potential environmental
impacts for the project. However, the project must adhere to the requirements of the DCEIR.
Construction permits are required prior to the start of construction activities. Per the DCEIR and
IS/SMND, wetlands south of Dublin Boulevard were identified to be impacted by this project. As a
result, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Section 401, Section 404, and any other permits noted
in the DCEIR may be needed. Other construction related permits, such as an encroachment permit,
will need to be acquired prior to the start construction work.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Dublin is seeking the professional services of a qualified Construction Management and
Inspection firm to provide construction administration, bid support, inspection, and material testing
services for the Iron Horse Trail Bridge at Dublin Boulevard Project located in the City of Dublin at
the Dublin Boulevard and Scarlett Drive intersection.
The City intends to select the most qualified firm to provide pre-bid constructability review, bid
support, construction management, inspection, and materials testing services for the duration of the
Iron Horse Trail Bridge at Dublin Boulevard Project. The selected firm’s services will be negotiated
and have a budget and specific work of scope that will be performed on a “Time and Material” basis.
Travel time, mileage, vehicles, meals, etc. will not be allowed and should be incorporated into your
hourly rates and tests provided. The hourly rates and material testing rates shall be good for the
duration of the project, and no cost escalation will be permitted.
Consultants are advised that this agreement is considered “public work” for purposes of the California
Labor Code, which requires payment of prevailing wages. The Agency has obtained from the Director
of Department of Industrial Relations the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general
prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work. These rates will be on file at the Owner’s office at 100
Civic Plaza, Dublin, CA 94568 or online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/PWD/index.htm and they
will be made available to any interested party upon request. The Consultant with whom an Agreement
is entered must pay the prevailing rates, post copies thereof at the job site, provide copies of certified
payrolls upon request, and otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of State law. The
Consultant is subject to prevailing wage rate compliance monitoring and enforcement by the
California Department of Industrial Relations.
The Consultant or Subcontractor(s) shall not be qualified to submit a response to this RFP, subject to
the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any
contract for public work, as defined in this chapter, unless currently registered and qualified to perform
public work pursuant to Section 1725.5. It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered
consultant to submit a proposal that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions
Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the consultant is
registered to perform Public Work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.
This project will construct a Class 1 bicycle and pedestrian truss arch bridge over Dublin Boulevard
near the intersection of Scarlett Drive. The bridge will provide safer and easier access to Iron Horse
Trail, including access to and from the Dublin-Pleasanton BART station, and will connect two existing
segments of the Iron Horse Trail, creating a total separation of bicyclists and pedestrians from
motorized vehicles. Construction work will generally consist of miscellaneous clearing and demolition,
cast-in-place footing construction, retaining wall installation, walkways, bridge fabrication and
erection, ADA ramp and steel railing installation, signage, trail lighting installation, paving and any
associated restorations of the site.
The project’s current engineer’s estimate is between $8 and $9 million with an estimated project
construction duration of 300 calendar days. Project working hours are anticipated to be Monday

through Friday with standard allowable working hours (approximately 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM). Special
construction conditions may require Saturday, Sunday, and night work.
The project is currently funded with Measure B & BB Alameda County Sales Tax,
TFCA/Transportation for Clean Air grant, SB-1, Gas Tax, Safe Routes to BART SR2B grant, and
local funds.
The PS&E package is currently at approximately 95% completion and the documents will be ready
for constructability and bid process review once a construction schedule can be determined. The City
and its design consultant are currently finalizing the license agreement for construction work on
Alameda County land.
The Dublin Crossing Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (DCEIR) Initial
Study/Supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/SMND) was approved by the City Council
on April 7, 2020. Per the SMND, the DCEIR adequately addresses the potential environmental
impacts for the project. However, the project must adhere to the requirements of the DCEIR. Refer
to Appendix B for related documents
Construction permits are required prior to the start of construction activities. Per the DCEIR and
IS/SMND, wetlands south of Dublin Boulevard were identified to be impacted by this project. As a
result, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Section 401, Section 404, and any other permits noted
in the DCEIR may be needed. Other construction related permits, such as a building or encroachment
permit, will need to be acquired prior to the start construction work.
The City anticipates putting the project out to bid in the first part of 2021 with an award within 60
days of bid opening. The Contractor would then have 30 Calendar days from Notice of Award to start
work.
The project team that is being proposed for in this RFP MUST be available to be committed to this
project based on the project time frame outlined above.
To be considered responsive to this RFP, your firm MUST be able to provide all services described
in this RFP.
The Consultant Team providing Design Services to the City of Dublin for this Project are not eligible
to participate in the Construction Administration, Inspection, and Material Testing of the Project.

records showing the name, address, social security number, work, straight time and overtime
hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman,
