The information obtained pursuant to this RFIF will be considered by VTA in advancing the Program, and may be reflected in subsequent procurement documents, including but not limited to the Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) and the Request for Proposals (“RFP”).To deliver CP3, VTA will use a design-build (“DB”) best value delivery method, whereby VTA will provide proposer teams with a form of contract that includes commercial terms as well as performance and prescriptive specifications for the CP3 DB Contract (the “Contract”), with the intent of receiving definitive technical and price proposals. VTA will also provide geotechnical and survey information as part of the procurement process. BART and VTA entered into a Comprehensive Agreement in 2001 that defines the roles and responsibilities of both agencies. Among other things, the Comprehensive Agreement stipulates that BART is the responsible entity and advisor to the Program, providing technical oversight for the BART systems to be procured in the Contract. In this capacity BART will be actively reviewing the designs, shop drawing submittals, testing procedures and operations &amp; maintenance (“O&amp;M”) instructions produced by the design-build contractor (“CP3 contractor”) so that contractual requirements are maintained for the safe and efficient operation of the BART System.VTA provides overall procurement, management, administration, technical review support, contract interfaces, and systems integration support for the Program. VTA will own the BSVII infrastructure and BART will operate and maintain the infrastructure.<u>NOTE:</u> This is an RFIF only and is <strong>issued solely for market research purposes</strong>.
