TransportationCommission | 2012-09-26 | 8 | 5.C. AC Transit's Performance Initiative Grant - Line 51A Staff Payne presented a summary of the report and asked AC Transit staff to make further comments. Commissioner Vargas asked AC Transit staff to discuss their role in the project. Wil Buller explained that the way the entire project would be rolled out was that AC Transit would oversee the development and the preliminary engineering and oversight through design. Upon completion of design and Memorandum Of Understanding agreements, the cities (Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda) would receive portions of the grant to complete construction based upon the design plans. AC Transit's project manager would coordinate with each city with construction management oversight, but it would be up to the cities to complete the construction, procure a contractor and close out the improvements. Construction is expected in late 2014. 5.D.
