1. Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road
Intersection Modifications
$ 15,000 $ 10,000
$ 6,600
This project provides for the modifica-
tion of Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road
intersection to reduce the problem of
long eastbound traffic back-up on Dublin
Boulevard waiting to turn south toward
1-580. During Fiscal Year 1983-84,
Dublin Boulevard was restriped. However,
the installation of traffic signal detector
loops were delayed so that this work could
be incorporated with a larger project.
2. Traffic Signal - Amador Valley Boulevard/
Stagecoach Road $108,000
$100,000
$ 94,600
This project provides for the full signal-
ization of this intersection, safety
street lighting and modification of the
left turn median on Amador Valley Blvd.
This project is being funded entirely
from developer reimbursements.
3. Traffic Signal
Clark Avenue
Dublin Boulevard/
$200,000
$175,000

This project provides a four way traffic
signal at the intersection of Dublin
Blvd and Clark Avenue, raised and
landscaped left turn medians and
lighting on Dublin Boulevard.
4. Traffic Signal
Dublin Court
Dublin Boulevard/
$210,000 $180,000 $195,800

5. Downtown Street Light Additions
(Partial Project)
$180,000 $160,000 $160,600
This project provides for the installa-
tion of street lights on a number of
downtown streets. Those lights proposed
at this time are Regional Street (11
lights) and Amador Plaza Road north of
Dublin Boulevard (9 lights).
6. Street Tree Program (Partial Project) $ 34,000
$ 29,750 $ 12,100
This project provides for the installa-
tion of street trees on Dublin Blvd,
Regional Street and Amador Plaza Road.
However, at this time, it is proposed
that trees be installed in those areas
immediately adjacent to the new traffic
signal installation at Dublin Blvd/Dublin
Court along with the landscaping which is
included with that project.
TOTAL
$747,000 $654,750 $650,100
Staff has proposed that these projects be bid together as one contract
because much of the work is similar in nature. Therefore, it is likely that
some economy of scale might be realized.
As indicated'above, the Engineer's Estimate is $650,100, or approximately
$4,650 less than budgeted. It is important to note, however, that the
amount of work to be accomplished in the phased projects (Downtown Street
Light Additions and Street Tree Program) is less than originally envisioned
in the Capital Improvement Program. It is anticipated that the remainder of
street lighting will have to be undertaken in 1985-86 if the actual contract
bid is close to the Engineer's Estimate. There should be sufficient funds
to install additional street trees apart from this project during the
current fiscal year.
It is anticipated that these bids will be opened at the end of January due
to the holidays.
