PROCUREMENTS
Oakland to Airport People Mover DBOM Procurement, Oakland, CA

Project Description
The Oakland Airport Connector was a 3.2-mile, $484 million project connecting the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system with the Oakland Airport. An Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) system was determined to be the preferred alternative for the OAC Project. The AGT concept refers to an array of transit technologies, the common elements being that they operate within their own guideways, would have stations physically integrated with the Coliseum BART Station and the airport terminal, and do not require a vehicle operator.  The AGT vehicles are primarily on an elevated guideway, thus providing the AGT with its own exclusive right-of-way separate from other vehicular traffic along its route.

SG&A Scope of Work/Challenges
SG&A was hired as an integral member of a review team to evaluate BART’s interest in pursuing a Design, Build Operate and Maintain (DBOM) procurement.

Success Story
As a result of the evaluation performed, BART made the decision to procure design and construction separately from operations and maintenance.
