AWARD OF BID - CONTRACT 91-04
SHANNON CENTER EXTERIOR PAINTING (600-30)
Public Works Director Thompson advised that in order to complete the
painting of the Shannon Center in time for the dedication event
scheduled for September 21, 1991, the City Council authorized Staff to
award the bid for Shannon Center Exterior Painting to the low bidder,
provided that the low bid received was within funds budgeted for the
project. Only one bid was received, and that bid was $3,300 over
bUdget. In addition to the budget overage, Staff recommended a $1,200
contingency be authorized in the event that additional work is
required once the project commences. Approximately $2,500 is
available from the Shannon Center Kitchen Floor project, and the
balance of $2,000 would come from the Contingent Reserve.
Mr. Thompson advised that Staff contacted some of the planholders who
did not bid to determine the reasons why which included too short a
time to complete the work and not wanting to deal with the prevailing
wage requirement.
References were checked for the only bidder, D. C. Vient, and those
contacted stated that work performed was timely and of excellent
quality.
Cm. Burton questioned if the $1,200 figure for the contingency would
be enough.
Mr. Thompson stated they might find some extra dry rot, but Staff took
a good look and feels comfortable with this figure.
On mOtion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous
vote,wthe Council adopted

Bay Vision 2020 Meeting (420-50).
City Manager Ambrose questioned if the Council had received the notice
of the Bay Vision 2020 meetings. They will be holding 6 forums
throughout ABAG's area. This will be an opportunity to publicly
comment and give testimony on the Bay Vision 2020 Plan. On Wednesday,
September 25th, there will be a meeting at the Oakland Metro Center,
and on Thursday, September 19th, in Walnut Creek.
Mr. Ambrose stated he would distribute copies of ~the invitation.
Mayor Snyder stated the September 25th meeting was supposed to be at
the Dublin Civic Center, but they opted to change it to downtown
Oakland.
Cm. Jeffery suggested that Dublin's comments be sent again.
Mayor Snyder indicated that it is the same group. Someone called him
from ABAG and advised that they were upset about Dublin's comments.
He advised them that they should just be open about what is going on.
Mr. Ambrose stated it would seem that there should be some mechanism
whereby they send their program back to all the cities to vote on it.
It's felt that they would lose, so they are trying to force it through
this type of exposure.
Cm. Jeffery requested that the City Council get copies of the points
sent to ABAG again.
Cm. MOffatt asked if Dublin is the only City making comments.
Mayor Snyder responded yes, to a great extent.
Tri-Valley Joint City Councils Meetinq (140-80)
Cm. Burton stated he will be out of town for the September 23rd City
Council meeting and will also miss the Tri-Valley Joint city Councils
meeting scheduled for September 26th.
Mayor Snyder stated he thought that Mayor Mercer will be asking that
this meeting be rescheduled because of all the things going on.
CM - VOL 10 - 320
Special Meeting September 4, 1991
City Boundary Modifications (620-30)
Cm. Jeffery advised that the recent article about the burning of the
old Santa Rita jail in the Fire Service magazine refers to the area as
being in Pleasanton.
The magazine is published by the Castro Valley Fire Protection
District, and someone should notify them of the inaccurate
information, as this is a two-part article.
Cm. Burton stated he had also noticed in other literature that the
Federal Correctional Institute is listed as being in Pleasanton.
Since Cm. Moffatt is our liaison person, he should get this corrected
to reflect that it is actually in Dublin.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the
meeting was adjourned at 8:11 a.m.
