Underpass Artwork Lighting, Phase 2
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The construction budget for this project is $30,250. The estimated
annual cost for power and maintenance for the additional lights is
$2,200.
DESCRIPTION: The painted murals on the walls of the 1-680 underpasses at Dublin
Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard were completed in Fiscal Year 2003-2004. During that same
year, lighting for the artwork was installed underneath the bridges; however, the portions of the murals
that were painted on the approaches of the bridges were not lit.
Contract 05-14 provides for installation of additional light fixtures for the bridge approaches on which
artwork has been painted. There are two locations on Amador Valley Boulevard and three locations on
Dublin Boulevard. The new fixtures can be attached to the existing circuitry so that all of the work takes
place on the bridge approaches themselves and no additional trenching is needed. The estimated
construction cost for this work is $30,250.
Plans and specifications have been prepared, and a permit has been obtained from Caltrans. It is
recommended that the City Council authorize Staff to solicit bids for Contract 05-14, Freeway Underpass
Artwork Lighting, Phase 2.
