Foothill Gold Line Update: Board Approves Shortlist of Teams to Compete to Build Glendora to Montcla

The Construction Authority board approved a shortlist of teams authorized to compete for the building of the Glendora to Montclair project. The decision follows receipt last month of seven separate Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from design-build teams vying for the work. The SOQs were reviewed by four evaluation committees and were judged on the basis of the following evaluation criteria: related project experience, staffing and organization, legal qualifications and financial qualifications. In the end, six of the seven submitting teams were qualified; and the four deemed most qualified were recommended for the shortlist. The board’s action approved the recommended shortlist of teams (in alphabetical order):

1. AECOM | Stacy and Witbeck JV

2. Herzog Rados Lane, a Joint Venture

3. Kiewit-Parsons, a Joint Venture

4. San Gabriel Valley Transit Partners (STP), a Joint Venture of Fluor and Ames

These are strong proposers; each team has good experience in light rail construction and would be capable of completing the next segment.

Tomorrow, these teams, along with various stakeholders, will be receiving the Industry Review Draft of the Request for Proposals (RFP). The Industry Review RFP is a complete draft of the official RFP that is scheduled to be issued to the shortlisted proposers at the end of May. The Industry Review RFP provides key project stakeholders and the proposing teams an opportunity to review the latest version of the engineering and procurement documents and gives them an opportunity to provide feedback that the agency may use to finalize the documents before they are officially released in May.
