DESCRIPTION At the June 23, 1986 meeting of the
Dublin City Council, the Council considered a recommendation from
the Park and Recreation Commission to conduct the Annual Tree
Lighting Ceremony 'at Shannon Center and light a tree at Shannon
Park. As a result of that meeting, staff was directed to
investigate the logistics of lighting a tree at Shannon Park
along with the associated costs.
Staff has been in contact with the electrician who works on the
park lights for the Dublin San Ramon Services District. He has
indicated that there is sufficient power from the lights
currently located on the bridge to light the oak tree in front of
the Center. The- electrician also gave staff an estimate of the
costs associated with the electrical work and the labor necessary
to string the lights in the tree. The_ costs are broken down as
follows:
Lights $107 . 00
Electrician ( 4-5/hrs @ $45) $180 . 00-$225. 00
Driver ( 4-5/hrs @ $15) $60. 00-$75. 00
Truck w/lift $75 . 00
TOTAL COST $422 . 00-$482 . 00
Staff has also contacted Steve Loweree of MCE, the City' s Public
Works Contractor, who has indicated that the estimate received by
the electrician is reasonable. He also indicated that they (MCE)
probably could not do it much cheaper as they would have to rent
a truck and have electricians do the necessary electrical work.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Council approve the
Tree Lighting Ceremony at Shannon Park on Monday, December 8,
1986 .
