AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 19, 2002
Agreement with Robert Gray & Associates for Lighting Design,
Freeway Underpass Art Project
Report Prepared by: Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Resolution
2) Proposed Agreement
RECOMMENDATIO~~dopt resolution
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The cost of services as outlined in the proposal is $18,710, including
both the electrical design and consulting services regarding selection
of the light fixtures. Design and inspection services were originally
budgeted at $11,000; however, the current year budget for the
project in its entirety is sufficient to fund this amount.
DESCRIPTION: The 2000-2005 Capital Improvement Program includes a project for
Freeway Underpass Art at Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard. The project provides for the
design and installation of a painted mural to both the approaches and the underpass for each location.
Additionally, the project provides for underpass lighting.
Staff has been working with the artists and two different lighting vendors in an effort to determine the
type of lighting system and fixture which will showcase the artwork to best advantage without causing a
problem for drivers on Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard.
Because the type of lighting to be used will be metered service similar to architectural lighting, rather than
street lighting, Staff feels it is necessary to secure the services of a licensed electrical designer to prepare
the plans. In addition, the type and scope of lighting that has been suggested by vendors to fulfill the
artists' wishes is considerably more expensive than has been budgeted for the lighting system. Staff is
therefore proposing to utilize Robert Gray & Associates' expertise to try to reduce the cost of the lighting
without compromising the effect.
Staff is familiar with the firm of Robert Gray and Associates as a street lighting and joint trench designer '
and has utilized their services for peer review.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the agreement with Robert Gray
and Associates and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement.
