March 7 , 1995 l
County
DATE: REQUEST BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO SUBMIT LETTER OF ORT FOR
SUBJECT: LANGUAGE IN THE BART CAR REHABILITATION PROJECT THAT WOULD
REQUIRE THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER TO UTILIZE THE MOST COST
EFFICIENT PLANT FACILITY IN THE BAY AREA
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)i BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request the Board of Supervisors
to submit a letter to the Bay Area Rapid Transit District
expressing support for language in the Bart Car
Rehabilitation Project that would require the successful
bidder for the contract to utilize the most cost efficient
plant facility in the Bay Area.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Due to the termination of the
contract between BART and Morrison-Knudsen, the future of
the MK facility in Pittsburg is very questionable. The
uncertainty of this facility has the potential to create
serious impacts to the economic vitality of Contra Costa
County. In order to avoid the negative impacts the loss of
jobs and loss in revenue relocation of this facility would
create, every effort should be made to retain this facility
in Contra Costa County. Utilization of a facility, such as
the MK facility in Pittsburg (that has already been
retrofitted specifically to perform the types of services
necessary for the BART cars) would appear to provide the
most cost efficient means of fulfilling the contract.
The Board of Supervisors should support the addition of
language to this bidding process that would require the
successful bidder to use the most cost efficient facility.
