Alameda County Freight Intelligent Transportation System | 2018-present
VSCE provided construction management services for Alameda County Transportation Commission’s (ACTC) Freight Intelligent Transportation System (FITS) program. This $24 million programis comprised of various projects intended to improve truck traffic flows, increase the efficiency of goods movement operations, and enhance the safety and incident response capabilities throughout the Port of Oakland.
VSCE has been responsible for preparing the “front-end” specifications such as the Bid Book, Notice to Bidders, General Conditions, and Special Provisions, necessary for advertising the largest of the FITS projects, the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) project. VSCE has also been responsible for responding to bidder inquiries, opening the ATMS bids, and ultimately recommending an award of the ATMS project. Once awarded, VSCE will serve as ACTC’s Construction Management team responsible for administering the ATMS construction contract.
Prior to advertising the ATMS project, VSCE drafted ACTC’S Construction Management and Administration Guide (CMAG) which is the agency’s manual for the preparation of project documents for advertising, awarding, and administering construction contracts; including contract acceptance and closeout requirements.
