Summary
Public Works recommended acceptance of Public Works Painting's low bid of $109,044.04 for the 2026 streetlight and traffic-control painting work (2,228 poles, 84 cabinets, 30 signal cabinets), roughly 37.7% below the engineer's estimate; council signaled approval and staff will authorize a contract.
Public Works presented Resolution 24-26 recommending acceptance of the low bid from Public Works Painting for the 2026 streetlight and traffic-control painting project.
Bob Taylor told council the project scope includes painting 2,228 poles, 84 street-light cabinets and 30 signal-control cabinets across the city; the engineer's estimate was $175,000 and the low bid of $109,044.04 was 37.7% below that estimate. Taylor said references checked positive even though the contractor had not previously worked in Dublin and staff recommended authorizing the city manager to execute a contract. Council asked clarifying questions about scope and whether the bid covered all identified poles needing work; staff confirmed the bid covers the identified list and that work is expected to start in May and finish by October 2026. Council approved the resolution by roll call.
