Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Authorizing the Use
of a Design-Build Project Delivery Method for the Design and
Installation of a Dimmer Replacement and Lighting System for
Cubberley Community Theater (CIP CC-09001)
RECITALS
A. The City's Cubberley Community Theater (the "Theater") is a revenue-generating
focal point for community events in Palo Alto.
B. The Theater's existing analog dimming lighting system, installed in 1985, is now
sorely outdated, its functionality and utility is questionable, replacement parts are
no longer available, and the upgrading to a digital soft-patch dimming system will
modernize the Theater's lighting system, address any potential safety hazards.
C. The replacement of the existing dimming system and requires highly specialized
knowledge in the electrical engineering of theatrical lighting systems, which City
staff lacks.
D. The successful installation of a new dimming system normally includes the design at
no additional cost~
E. Palo Alto Municipal Code ("PAMC") section 2.30.300 recognizes that public works
projects, which include the improvement of any public building, or part thereof,
after adoption of a resolution may use 'design-build' as an acceptable alternate
project delivery method, as this will allow staff to advertise the project with
sufficient information for a specialized contractor-designer team to finalize the
design and proPose a fee for the total project.
F. The term "design-build" is defined by California Public Contracts Code section
20133(c)(2) as "a procurement process in which both the design and the
construction of a project are procured from a single entity."
G. The award of any contract for the Cubberley diming lighting project will not involve
or require any funding by bonded indebtedness of the City or by assessment against
any particular property of the City.
