At its meeting of November 15, 2011 the Dublin City Council awarded Contract Number 11-11,
Park Lighting Replacement Project, to Bahia Electric. Work under the Contract included
replacement of existing pathway and parking lot lights at Kolb, Shannon and Dolan Parks. The
Energy Block Grant Project replaced existing metal-halide lights with energy efficient light
emitting diodes more commonly known as LED's.
Staff, along with representatives from Bahia Electric, completed a walkthrough of the project on
April 19, 2012 and all elements of the project are complete.
The City presently holds a performance bond in the amount of $198,000 to provide the
necessary security for the performance of the work involved. As the work is now complete, the
performance security requirement can be reduced, in accordance with authority contained in
Section 66499.7 of the Government Code, to an amount necessary to guarantee warranty of the
work for cone-year period following acceptance of the work. The Contractor will provide a new
maintenance bond in the amount of $20,045 which is 10% of the final contract amount, which is
sufficient to cover the one-year guarantee period.
Upon City Council acceptance of the project, Staff will file a notice of completion with the
Alameda County Clerk.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of this Staff Report was sent to the Contractor. A notice of completion will be filed with
Alameda County following City Council acceptance of the project.
