Thompson, Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: 1) Catalog sheet 2) Plans and specifications to be available at the City Council meeting. RECOMMENDATION: (~ ~/~J' Authorize Staff to Advertise for Bids FINANCIAL STA NT: The construction budget for the lighting portion of the project is $105,950. DESCRIPTION: As part of the Capital Improvement Program project to install artwork at the freeway underpasses at Dublin Boulevard and Amador Valley Boulevard, this project would install a ro~v of light fixtures above the murals on the freeway underpass walls. The fixtures selected are fluorescent, with a color to approximate daylight so that the colors of the murals will not be affected. A photometric analysis has indicated that the lighting will be an even wash across the walls. The fixtures and conduit are to be painted a neutral color that will blend with the artwork. In addition, it is proposed to provide a dimming control so that the lighting can be dimmed at night. While the lights will be aimed toward the wall and should be seen only minimally by drivers, Staff would prefer to reduce the possibility of glare. In the interest of energy savings, it would also be possible to turn the lighting off completely during certain hours. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize solicitation of bids for this project.
