The City of Dublin is located at the intersection of Highways I-580 and I-680 in eastern Alameda
County. The City was incorporated in 1982 and has a current population of approximately 65,000
people. Over the past 25 years Dublin has gone through a rapid growth cycle, with much of that
growth focused on undeveloped land in eastern Dublin. The City is also experiencing
redevelopment/revitalization of the commercial core of Downtown Dublin, and transit-oriented
development around the City’s two Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations. The City has
successfully utilized on-call contract services to augment staff in order to help manage
fluctuations in workload.

and establish a new list of qualified consultants to provide services on an as-needed basis. The
City is requesting firms to submit qualifications to provide on-call contract services to the
