The project included a variety of transportation enhancements installed mostly on Dublin Boulevard between Hansen Drive and Tassajara Drive leading to the East and West Dublin BART Stations. These enhancements include median identity markers, wayfinding signs, bridge railing motif, bus shelters and benches, City of Dublin monument signs, tree grates, newsracks, trash receptacfes, and the Eternal Ribbon Gateway feature at the southeast corner of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road. These enhancements were implemented per the policies and recommendations contained in the City's Streetscape Master Plan. The streetscape project also improved the area adjacent to Dublin Historic Park with enhancements that included a raised landscaped median on Dublin Boulevard between Hansen Drive and Donlon Way, sidewalk widening, and installation of decorative pedestrian lights along the Historic Park. In addition, the project constructed sidewalk bulbouts at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Donlon Way and special pavement treatment of crosswalks at Hansen Drive, Donlon .Way and at San Ramon Road, all to make the Historic Area more pedestrian friendly and enhance the look and feel of the area. Lastly, the project widened the existing bike path north of Dublin Boulevard from the Iron Horse Trail to Tassajara Creek Trail, widened the sidewalks along Dublin Boulevard east of, I-680 freeway, and retrofitted all street intersection pedestrian ramps (within the project limits) in compliance with ADA standards. The estimated total project cost is $3,817,684, of which Contract No. 08-18 represents $2,806,562. A budge change of $289,219 in SAFETEA-LU grant funds is required. Caltrans has amended the reimbursement rate for this project allowing the City to increase the portions of the project funded from this source. This will allow for a reduction in the Gas Tax funds budgeted for FY 2010-11 by $219,311, as shown on the attached budget change form. The project is estimated to exceed the Fiscal Year 2010/2011 project budget by $69,908. These additional costs are primarily funded from the transportation grant. The primary factors that have impacted the project costs are added construction support services required to finish the contract work, prepare as-built drawings and submittal of final report to Caltrans. These costs will be allocated between the Federal grant and Gas Tax funds. The: additional costs were accounted for as part of the proposed Budget Ghange (See Attachment 1). Staff has inspected the work under this Contract and recommends that the City Council accept the improvements. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLfC OUTREACH: Public Noticing is not required.

More of the project can be funded from this source which reduces the amount budgeted in Gas Tax Funds. The current adopted reyenue budget for SAFETEA-LU will not be exceeded due to a delay in the start of work on the Alamo Canal Trail Project and therefore no chan e is made to the revenue account.
