RFSOQ Overview• Complete pre-construction planning, environmental, and

engineering design for Oakland to San Jose Phase 2A Service Expansion Project Budget: $5 million initially, but will expand as scope is developed with

more details Schedule: 6 years Work Directive-based

• Primary Project goals Reduce travel time for passenger rail services between Oakland and

Newark Increase overall railroad capacity between Oakland and Newark Reduce freight and passenger rail conflicts Provide better opportunities for intermodal connections between

Peninsula and East Bay

Key Project Elements

Key Project ElementsProposed intermodal (rail + bus) station at intersection of Coast Subdivision and SR 84, in the Ardenwood Fremont/Newark area:

• Two-level station (passenger rail on bottom and bus/highway on top)

• Median busway facility connecting with SR 84

• Parking structure

Key stakeholders:• Caltrans• AC Transit• Private shuttle providers • Cities of Fremont and Newark

Key Project Elements• RTC modeling (UPRR led) to scope rail network capacity

• Ridership modeling Passenger rail AC Transit Private shuttle providers

• Environmental documentation analyses Some creek crossings Noise impacts Freight rail impacts

• Public outreach Local communities Public agencies

CCJPA DBE Program

CCJPA/BART DBE Policy

• The CCJPA, through BART, its managing agency, is committed to carrying out the all of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirements of 49 CFR Part 26, as amended

* Monthly DBE reports will be due, if DBEs listed

* Substitutions of DBEs will require replacement with DBEs or good faith efforts

* DBEs, as listed on Exhibit 1, must perform a commercially useful function

* DBEs will be counted only for the work for which they are certified
