STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Present the proclamation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

DESCRIPTION:
Lupus Awareness Month is recognized annually in May. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of various parts of the body particularly the skin, heart, joints, and kidneys. Lupus research shows that close to two million Americans have been diagnosed with lupus, which strikes women nine times more frequently than it does men. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to the quality of life and survival rate of lupus sufferers. Increased public awareness, education, and research are the key to winning the battle against the disease.

CITY OF DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA
“Lupus Awareness Month”
WHEREAS, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system randomly attacks the body's own tissues and vital organs, including the kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin, and joints. It is a leading cause of premature cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and stroke among young women; and
WHEREAS, lupus affects close to two million people in the United States, causing thousands of people (90% are young women, and disproportionately women of color) to be newly diagnosed with lupus annually; and WHEREAS, lupus is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose because the symptoms come and go, mimic those of other diseases, and there is no single test that can definitively identify the illness. Early diagnosis and treatment usually lessen the progression and severity of the disease and are vital to preserving health and preventing further complications, organ damage, and death; and WHEREAS, lupus impacts more than just the life of the patient, it affects the patient’s family, friends, coworkers, employers, and community. Existing public information and programs about lupus remain inadequately disseminated and insufficient in addressing the needs of specific diverse populations and underserved groups; and
WHEREAS, the Lupus Foundation of Northern California, serving California from Santa Cruz to the Oregon border, was founded as a non-profit organization to alleviate suffering for lupus patients through patient and family services, achieve early detection of undiagnosed cases through awareness promotion, and champion lupus research with the goal of eradicating this disease.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby proclaim May to be Lupus Awareness Month in the City of Dublin and encourages all residents to observe this month by educating themselves on the symptoms and impacts of lupus.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Application for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program and Approving the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Co-Applicants’ Agreement.

If the grant is awarded, it will fund a portion of the Amador Station affordable housing project, associated infrastructure procurement and improvements, and transit program elements. The City would use a portion of the grant funds for design, construction, project management, and grant administration of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements within public streets.

DESCRIPTION:
Background
On March 21, 2023, and on February 20, 2024, the City Council adopted resolutions authorizing applications for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program and approving AHSC Co-Applicants' Agreement (Resolution 25-23 and Resolution 13-24). The Resolutions were in response to Notices of Funding Availability (NOFA) issued by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), under the AHSC program. The resulting 2023 and 2024 applications were not selected for AHSC grant funding.
On March 25, 2025, SGC and HCD issued a new NOFA, providing another opportunity for the City to partner with The Related Companies of California, LLC to apply for Round 9 of the AHSC program. The program provides grant funds for affordable housing projects that support sustainable communities by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emission reductions are achieved through strategies that increase access to affordable housing and community amenities via low-carbon transportation options, such as walking, biking, and transit. These efforts aim to reduce the vehicle miles traveled through shortened trip lengths or mode shifts from single-occupancy vehicle use.
Project Description
The Amador Station project is located on a vacant 3.6-acre parcel owned by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) at 6501 Golden Gate Drive. This site is located adjacent to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station (Figure 1). The site is bounded by I-580 to the south, Avalon West residential development to the west, Connolly Station residential community to the north, and Golden Gate Drive to the east. The property lies within the Transit Oriented District of the Downtown Dublin Specific Plan (DDSP) and is being developed by The Related Companies of California, LLC. The Related Companies of California LLC is partnering with Affordable Housing Access, a non-profit agency, for this project.

application to support a sustainable housing development that improves transit, walking, and biking infrastructure. The AHSC grant provides an opportunity for the City to partner with The Related Companies of California, LLC to receive funds for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements. Partnering with the City will result in a complete and competitive AHSC grant application.
The Related Companies will also be entering into separate agreements with the Valley Transit Authority (VTA) for the purchase of three BART rail cars and with Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) to provide infrastructure and operating funds. VTA is collaborating with BART on the Silicon Valley Extension Project, with VTA managing construction and funding, and BART operating the service. The procurement of BART rail cars provides the project with a competitive application by providing a strong GHG emission reduction component. Discussions between Staff, Related Companies, VTA, and LAVTA have resulted in a proposed AHSC grant application that, if successful, will help fund the affordable housing project, acquisition of BART rail cars, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements, transit passes, and other program elements.
The AHSC program limits the total requested program funding amount to $50,000,000, of which up to $35,000,000 may be requested as a loan for Affordable Housing Development or Housing Related Infrastructure to fund the Amador Station affordable housing project. A maximum of $15,000,000 can be requested for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure which includes a maximum of $600,000 for Program activities. Costs incurred for required transit passes will not contribute to the $600,000 Program activities cap. These activities are defined in the AHSC Program Guidelines as follows:
“Affordable Housing Development” means a capital project of residential development or the residential portion of a mixed-use development in which at least 20 percent of the total units are Affordable Units.
“Housing Related Infrastructure” means a capital infrastructure improvement required as a condition of approval of an Affordable Housing Development by a Locality, transit agency, or special district such as sewer, water, or utility system upgrades, streets, drainage basins, etc. or a capital infrastructure improvement allowed under Section 103(c). “Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure” means capital projects that result in the improvement or addition of infrastructure that encourages mode-shift from single occupancy vehicles by enhancing: 1) public transit service, 2) pedestrian networks, or 3) bicycle networks (includes public bike-share programs), as well as transit operations expenditures that directly support transit expansion, within the defined project area meeting the transit requirements detailed in Section 102.

CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item 5.3
DATE: May 6, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT: Mape Memorial Park Pathway Relocation Project, CIP No. GI0221 – Approval of Plans and Specifications and Award of Contract to CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc.
Prepared by: Laurie Sucgang, City Engineer
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving the plans and specifications and awarding a construction contract to CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc. for the Mape Memorial Park Pathway Relocation Project. The project will relocate a pathway, fencing, site furnishings, turf, and associated irrigation away from the creek bank that was damaged in the 2022-2023 storms.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the Plans and Specifications and Awarding a Contract to CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc. for the Mape Memorial Park Pathway Relocation Project, CIP No. GI0221.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The bid submitted by CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc. is $147,777. Sufficient funds are available in the approved budget for CIP No. GI022.
Staff applied for grant funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) for the Mape Memorial Park Pathway Relocation Project. Staff is working with FEMA and CalOES, and will submit costs to the organizations, who will determine which project expenditures are eligible for reimbursement.
DESCRIPTION:
The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Resiliency and Disaster Preparedness Improvements Project, CIP No. GI0221. The Resiliency and Disaster 33
Preparedness Improvements Project provides for the planning, design, environmental permitting, and construction of repairs at various sites throughout the City that were damaged in the series of rainfall events in December 2022 and January 2023, which were declared a major disaster for the State of California by the President on January 14, 2023.
Martin Canyon Creek runs along the southern property line of Mape Memorial Park. The creek experienced bank erosion during the storms that created an unsafe condition for the pathway adjacent to the creek. The project will move the pathway and adjacent facilities, such as fencing, waste bins, and a bench, away from the creek and allow the pathway to be reopened to park users. The relocation of the pathway also requires modification to the turf and associated irrigation.
Bid Process and Results
The City of Dublin issued a bid package for the Mape Memorial Park Pathway Relocation Project on March 6, 2025. The bid package consisted of one lump sum base bid item. Five sealed bids were received and opened on April 8, 2025. The five accepted bids ranged from $147,777 to $227,000, with the lowest bid submitted by CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc. Two submitted bids were non-responsive because the contractors did not submit their bids on the required bid forms obtained from the City’s plan room. A summary of the bids is provided as Attachment 4.
Staff reviewed the bid results, checked references and necessary licenses, and recommends that the City Council award the construction contract to CLS/Cervantes Landscape Services, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Staff anticipates work to begin in June and be completed in the fall.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The project is exempt under Section 15301, Class 1 Repair or Minor Alteration of Existing Public Facilities; Section 15302, Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Facilities Located on the Same Site; and Section 15304, Class 4 Minor Public Alterations of the CEQA Guidelines.

Exterior Improvements Project, CIP Nos. GI0122, GI0125, GI0223 and GI0423 - Approval of an Agreement with Plant Construction Company, L.P. for Design and Preconstruction Phase Services in a Progressive Design-Build Delivery Method
Prepared by: Michael Boitnott, CIP Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an agreement with Plant Construction Company, L.P. for Design and Preconstruction Phase Services in a Progressive Design-Build delivery method for the Exterior Improvements Project, CIP Nos. GI0122, GI0125, GI0223 and GI0423. The project includes the design phase of future improvements to and preventative maintenance of the exterior building envelopes of the following City of Dublin facilities: Civic Center, Library, Clock Tower, Kolb House Museum, Sunday School Barn, Murray Schoolhouse Museum, Old St.
Raymond’s Church, Senior Center, The Wave, Fire Stations 16, 17, and 18.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement with Plant Construction Company, L.P. for Design and Preconstruction Phase Services for the Exterior Improvements Project, CIP Nos. GI0122, GI0125, GI0223, and GI0423.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The agreement is for a not-to-exceed amount of $731,320 for progressive design-build preliminary design and collaboration services. Sufficient funds are available in the approved budgets for CIP Nos. GI0122, GI0125, GI0223, and GI0423.
DESCRIPTION:
The 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the following projects: Civic Center Rehabilitation CIP No. GI0122, Civic Center Exterior Glazing, Sealing & Painting CIP No. GI0125, 54
Exterior Painting at Various City Facilities CIP No. GI0223, and Roof Replacement at Various City Facilities CIP No. GI0423 (Attachment 3). The scopes of work of these CIP projects are similar in nature and Staff recommends the separate projects be combined into a newly created Exterior Improvements Project and that the progressive design-build project delivery method be utilized to complete the project.
Public Works Project Delivery Methods
There are several construction project delivery methods, but California law limits cities to three project delivery methods for public works construction projects. The three methods are Design- Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB), and Progressive Design-Build (PDB). Each project delivery method has benefits and limitations depending upon several factors, including but not limited to, budget, construction type, schedule, and complexity. A brief description of each delivery method is provided below.
Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
The DBB project delivery method is the long standing, traditional method for construction projects by public agencies, including the City of Dublin. In DBB, a design team prepares a complete (100%) set of construction documents for the agency. The agency then solicits bids from contractors based on the completed documents and awards the construction contract to the responsible bidder that offers the lowest price. During construction, the agency administers the project including any coordination between the contractor and the design team, such as contractor requests for information. In this model, the agency is responsible for the project design and the contractor may seek additional time and/or money for defects in the design documents.
DBB is the most popular delivery method for public projects in the United States, including City of Dublin construction projects. However, alternative delivery methods have become available to public agencies in California, offering more flexibility in some cases.
Design-Build (DB)
In the DB project delivery method, the agency contracts with a single entity for both the final design and construction. The DB contract is based upon the agency’s program that outlines the project requirements. The program is often defined through a preliminary or concept design and associated documents that identify the agency’s needs, such as size, uses, performance needs, and appearance.
DB contracts are typically solicited first through a prequalification process to identify a limited number of DB contractors, which often include a contractor and an architect or engineer. Then, DB contractors that are deemed qualified are invited to submit a proposal. The agency reviews the proposals and selects the DB team based on the request for proposals criteria, which can be lowest bid or best value. The selected DB contractor is responsible for the final design and construction documents and the DB contractor cannot seek additional time and/or money for defects in its own design documents.
The DB project delivery method is available to California cities through State law, Public Contract 55
Code Division 2, Part 3, Chapter 4. The enabling legislation requires that a city’s public works project be valued at a minimum of $1,000,000 to use the DB project delivery method.
Benefits of DB for cities include: the option of selecting the DB contractor based on best value versus lowest bid; potential reduced design effort and costs; innovative design and construction solutions brought by the DB contractor; improved communication between the designer and contractor; and reduced risk associated with design deficiencies. Disadvantages of DB for cities include: reduced control of the design and construction phases; limited opportunities for competitive bidding; and the need for a qualified owner representative to confirm the final design and construction meet the program and contract requirements because the designer is working for the contractor instead of for the city. The City of Dublin utilized DB project delivery for the City Hall HVAC and Roof Replacement project, CIP No. GI0119, in July 2020.
Progressive Design-Build (PDB)
Progressive Design-Build is the newest project delivery method available to California cities for public works projects. The implemented legislation is codified in Public Contract Code, Division 2, Part 3, Chapter 4.7, and became effective for cities on January 1, 2023. To utilize the PDB method, a city public works project must exceed $5,000,000, and cities are limited to using PDB for up to 10 projects. As PDB utilization increases, it is anticipated that these limits will be changed by the State legislature.
The PDB delivery method is a two-step variation of the DB method. The differences between PDB and DB are that PDB enables cities to engage the design-builder earlier, allowing collaborative project development before commitment to the final costs. It also allows for inclusion of contract clauses, sometimes referred to as off-ramps, which allow the city or design-builder to terminate the project before construction if the parties cannot reach agreement on final terms. Such off- ramps provide flexibility and reduce risk for the city by providing an alternative way to move forward with the project using another procurement method, if necessary, versus being bound by a construction contract. For the Exterior Improvements Project, the PDB steps are as follows:
Step 1 – Preliminary Design and Collaboration: The City selects a Design-Builder based on qualifications and overall approach. The City and Design-Builder work closely to develop the project’s scope, design, budget, and risk profile. At the end of this phase, the City and Design- Builder negotiate a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for design and construction.
Off-Ramp: If the City is unable to negotiate an acceptable GMP with the Design-Builder, the City can choose to use the design documents and proceed with an alternative procurement method, such as competitive public bidding. This off-ramp would also allow the City to reconsider proceeding with the next PDB step based on factors such as available budget or new City priorities.
Step 2 – Final Design and Construction: Upon approval of the GMP, the Design-Builder proceeds with final design, permitting, and construction. The same integrated team remains involved throughout the life of the project.
56
The PDB process offers several advantages for public infrastructure projects such as:
• Enhanced Collaboration: Early involvement of design and construction teams improves communication and problem-solving.
• Design Flexibility: Design decisions can be refined as the project evolves, with real-time feedback from the agency.
• Cost Control: The GMP is established after the scope is better defined, reducing risk of cost overruns.
• Faster Delivery: Design and construction phases can overlap, expediting project completion.
• Transparency and Risk Mitigation: The agency gains insight into cost development and can address potential issues early.
There are disadvantages of the PDB process too, such as:
• Uncertainty in Final Costs: The GMP is not known at the beginning of the collaboration with the design-build contractor.
• Limited Owner Control and Flexibility: The agency may have less direct control over the design process, especially with the firms working under the design-builder. The agency’s ability to make changes or adjustments later in the process can also be limited. • Hesitancy in Off-Ramping: The agency might hesitate to “off-ramp” the project team, even if there are issues with the project’s performance.
• Extensive Collaboration and Communication: PDB requires a high level of communication, collaboration, and decision making by the agency.

On March 12, 2025, a Request for Qualifications from Design-Build Entities (Attachment 4) was released. Three qualification packages were received on April 7, 2025. Staff reviewed the qualifications packages and ranked the Design-Build Entities as follows:
1. Plant Construction Company, L.P. and Architectural Resources Group
2. Gilbane Building Company and Dahlin Group
3. W.E. Lyons Construction Co. and Allanna Buick & Bers, Inc.
The most qualified and best overall approach was provided by Plant Construction Company, L.P. with a not-to-exceed cost for the preliminary design and collaboration services of $731,320 (Attachment 2). If the City Council approves the agreement for design and preconstruction phase services, Staff and the Plant Construction team will start the preliminary design and collaboration work. Staff anticipates bringing a final design and construction contract, including a GMP, back to the City Council this summer.

With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.

Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
