STAGES LEADING TO CONSTRUCTION ARE NEARLY COMPLETE
In fall 2014, the Mid-Coast Trolley received its final environmental clearance from the SANDAG Board of Directors and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FTA approved the project’s entry into final engineering in April 2015. SANDAG is in the process of securing a full funding grant agreement (FFGA) from the FTA’s New Starts program. Anticipated in mid-2016, the FFGA would provide 50 percent of the project funding. TransNet, the San Diego region’s vot- er-approved, half-cent sales tax for transportation im- provements, will provide the other half of the total $2 billion budget. Interested parties can follow this and other TransNet-funded projects on its website, www.

The project’s development plans are nearly ready. “The design, led by WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, is 95 percent complete,” reports Jim. “SANDAG has a construction manager/general

agreement with joint venture group, Mid-Coast Transit Constructors (MCTC), comprised of Stacy & Witbeck Inc., Skanska USA and Herzog Contracting Corp.”
MCTC is responsible for the cost and schedule-saving design modifications, staging and constructability review. The MCTC group also will have the first oppor- tunity to present to SANDAG a guaranteed maximum price for building the project. If the agency and MCTC can reach an agreement on the price, MCTC will build the project. If not, SANDAG will put the plans out to bid.
According to its website, the MCTC team is comprised of civil constructors that have extensive experience in self-performing rail and bridge work, and manages and builds with their own forces. In fact, collectively, the firms have constructed more than 600 miles of track for passenger rail service over the past 10 years, with over 30 rail transit projects totaling in excess of $4.7 billion in construction.
