•On April 17, 2020 a special VTA Board of Directors meeting was held for members to be briefed on two special

concept studies underway to address BART’s operational and safety concerns with the single bore configuration

that was included in the project’s June 2018 Record of Decision from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

These concept studies maintain, at a minimum, a Single Bore stacked configuration under Santa Clara Street (50’

below surface) between 13th Street and Stockton Avenue to minimize street-level impacts and business

disruptions in the San Jose downtown core during construction.

•At VTA’s June 19, 2020 Board of Directors meeting, staff provided an overview of the funding application to be

submitted to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the Expedited Project Delivery (EPD) Pilot Program. This

presentation included details on the project scope, cost estimate, schedule, contract plan, and funding plan.

•Following the presentation to the Board of Directors, staff met with FTA Region IX on June 25, 2020 to provide a

similar overview of the project. On July 17, 2020, staff met with FTA Headquarters and Region IX staff to review

VTA’s EPD application readiness to formally submit for federal funding. General details of the application were

discussed with a focus on elements satisfying the requirements of the EPD program. VTA was also informed that a

Project Management Oversight Consultant (PMOC) has been assigned for project oversight and risk assessment.7

EBRC Stakeholder Working Group

• Goal to minimize construction inconvenience

• Solution to minimizing inconvenience in one

area may cause impact in another area

• Adding restrictions to minimize

inconvenience results in more cost and

maybe more time

• Need to understand what constraints have the most overall value to implement
