BACKGROUND The proposed traffic signal at Stoneridge Mall Road and Embarcadero Court is identified in the City's General Plan and currently ranks 4`h on the City's Traffic Signal Priority List. An existing agreement between the City and BART requires the signal installation prior to completing the West Dublin BART Station in late 2009. The project consists of furnishing and installing all required traffic signal equipment, traffic signal interconnect equipment, signing and striping, and miscellaneous concrete work including modification of the existing curb ramps to comply with ADA requirements. In an ongoing effort to reduce the City's carbon footprint and deliver environmentally responsible projects, the new traffic signal will utilize innovative solutions to minimize power consumption at the intersection. The proposed solutions also result in reduced operations and maintenance costs. These solutions include: Light Emitting Diode (LED) vehicle and pedestrian signal heads; LED street name signs; LED intersection safety lighting; Battery powered wireless in-pavement vehicle detection sensors. DISCUSSION Bids Sealed bids for this traffic signal installation project were opened on February 25, 2009. There were sixteen (16) bids received ranging between $259,400 and $349,900. The apparent low bid was 10% higher than the engineer's estimate of $235,000.00 (see Attachment 2 for Bid Summary). Past work performed by Wingard Engineering Inc. was verified to be satisfactory.
