AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 26, 1984
SUBJECT :
Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road Intersection
Modifications
EXHIBITS ATTACHED :
Letter from CalTrans dated March 16, 1984; Improvement
Plans; Letter from City of Dublin regarding 1-580
overpass improvements
RECOMMEND~~:
1) Approve Plans
2) Authorize Staff to obtain informal quotations for
signal modifications and if quotations exceed
$5,000, authorize Staff to go out to bid
3) Authorize Staff to secure services of County
Road Department for installation of striping and
signing
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated cost of signal modifications less than
$5,000; estimated cost of signing and striping $2,000
Amount budgeted $27,000
DESCRIPTION : The City Council approved as part of the 1983-84
budget the Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road intersection modifications
project. A total of $32,000 was budgeted for this project including $5,000
for design and inspection.
This project, as proposed, would provide for an additional right turn lane
on Dublin Boulevard for motorists proceeding southbound on Dougherty Road.
Since the City Council approval of the project, Staff applied to the State
for a "Hazard Elimination Safety Grant". On March 19, 1984, the City
received a letter from the State of California, Department of Transportation
indicating that this project did not score high enough to receive funding
during this fiscal year. Therefore, this project will have to be undertaken
with General Fund money as was anticipated in the 1983-84 budget.
At the time this project was preliminarily developed, it was anticipated
that additional right-of-way would need to be acquired. Since that time,
the City Engineering Staff has determined that no additional right-of-way
will be needed at this time and therefore, the cost of the project would be
reduced substantially. In addition, Staff has determined that some of the
signal modifications originally included as part of the project should more
properly be included in the freeway overpass improvements which are to be
undertaken by the North Pleasanton Assessment District. As you may recall,
the City entered into an agreement with the City of Pleasanton to provide
for a signal at the westbound off-ramp of 1-580 and associated road and
signal work. Staff has proposed that a letter be sent to the Engineer for
the Assessment District outlining those modifications which should be
properly included in that project (see attached).
The current estimate for establishing the dual right turn lanes is $7,000.
This includes approximately $5,000 in signal modifications and $2,000 in
signing and striping. The County of Alameda has indicated that it would
undertake the signing and striping modifications under its existing contract
for maintenance services for the City of Dublin. With respect to the signal
modifications, Staff would propose that the City Council authorize Staff to
secure informal quotations on the modifications, and if the quotations
exceed the $5,000 that the City Council authorize Staff to advertise this
project for bid in accordance with the City's Purchasing Ordinance.

Subject: Hopyard Road/Dougherty Road Overpass
Dear Mr. Warnick:
We have reviewed the plans by Bissell and Karn for the subject project and
have the following comments:
1) Sheet 6 - The Dublin Boulevard right-of-way needs to reflect the present
right-of-way and improvements.
2) Sheet 10 - The note on the interconnect line at the right of the page
should direct the contractor to install this conduit and cable and give him
some dimensions to estimate by.
3) Sheet 12 - Pavement markings should be placed in the through and through
and right turn lane into Scarlett Court from north bound Dougherty Road.
4) It is our understanding that the intersection modifications at Dublin
Boulevard and Dougherty Road required by this project would be included in
this project:
a) The additional north bound lane will necessitate the removal of a
raised island and relocation of a signal pole at the north east corner.
b) The controller will need to be upgraded for a 91lA and software
supplied to interface the State's 170 controllers
c) Restripe the north side of the intersection on Dougherty Road to match
the new through lane.
d) Recut detector loops northbound to Dublin Boulevard to match new lane
configuration.
e) Change signal heads and signing at the north of the intersection
facing north bound Dougherty traffic to conform to new lane pattern.
Thank you for the opportunity to review these plans.
Sincerely,
