RE:
Funding Agreement - TransLink® Site Preparation: Golden Gate Bridge,
Highway and Transportation District
As the TransLinkâ program transitions to Phase II, MTC and the transit
operators must prepare for region-wide installation of TransLinkâ
equipment. The TransLinkâ Contractor (Motorola, Inc.) is responsible
for equipment manufacture and physical installation, and MTC and the
participating Bay Area transit operators are responsible for providing
conduit for power or data communications lines, pulling cable, and any
"public works" construction on operator premises.
MTC and Motorola, Inc./ERG have begun working with the transit
operators to define scopes of work for Phase II site preparation. The
magnitude of each transit operator's effort will vary, and operators
will perform the work with in-house staff or contractors. Site
preparation includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
installation of new electrical and communications circuits;
procurement and installation of network rack(s) and cabinet(s);
modification of offices to accommodate data servers and ticket office
terminals; preparation of sites for equipment (e.g., add value
machine, wireless data transmission antenna) installation and/or
mounting.
Funding agreements between MTC and the Phase II operators will
reimburse the transit operators for site preparation work performed on
behalf of the TransLinkâ program. The cost for GGBTHD Phase II site
preparation is estimated at $30,000. This work includes: installation
of servers and/or equipment at bus yards in Santa Rosa and Novato as
well as the San Rafael Transit Center; and improvements to existing
installations at the San Rafael bus yard and the ferry terminals (as
required). We will return to this Committee in the coming months for
approval of site preparation funding agreements with the remaining
transit operators.
Staff recommends that this Committee authorize the Executive Director
or his designee to enter into a funding agreement with GGBHTD in an
amount not to exceed $30,000. Funding for this agreement is included
in the TransLinkâ capital budget.
