加利福尼亚运输委员会计划于5月19日星期三投票,该提案将Doyle Drive替换项目的第二阶段转换为公私合作伙伴关系。

And guess who’s up in arms about this proposal. Yes, the Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG), all 13,000 of them. But this time, though its claims are somewhat hysterical, it may be right.


In February, the CTC, along with its project partner the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, released a study/analysis that concluded that additional funding for the project might be iffy down the line. They concluded that a P3 could be the answer and would hold a hearing to discuss and possibly vote on proceeding.


PECG跳入竞争中,发出新闻发布,提醒公众,甚至运行了一分钟的广播广告,宣布P3将“放弃竞争性竞标,并使项目的成本翻了一番”,“将花费15,000个工作岗位,”累积了数百万美元的加利福尼亚纳税人的新债务”,并“在未来30年内将钱从其他运输项目中夺走。”新利18备用网址


PECG提到的竞争性招标方面很有意义(在网上查看我的新闻报道,内容涉及Caltrans在过去四年中如何节省24亿美元,因为经济衰退,竞争和低估的竞标)。

Presidio Parkway项目是Doyle Drive的替代者,Doyle Drive是南部金门大桥的南道。竞争性竞标合同1至4(第一阶段)已经开始建设。获奖竞标者包括Ghilotti Bros.,C.C。迈尔斯和
R&L Brosamer Inc.

The CTC’s Presidio Parkway (which is what Doyle Drive will be called upon completion) Public Private Partnership Project (or P6 – just kidding) is seeing problems with fund availability in fiscal year 2012-2013, specifically the Milestone Payments, which will not be used for Availability Payments. It says APs therefore would be paid from available non-state resources and from the State Highway Account, subject to (oh no) legislative appropriations. We’re looking at in the neighborhood of $170 million.

当我听说P3提案时,有两件事向我跳了出来。第一,我们在大约一周前在我们网站的“新闻电线”部分上运行了一篇圣地亚哥商业期刊新闻报道。South Bay Expressway Builders File for Bankruptcy”。你可能会记得,他美丽的635 -数百万美元n project was also a P3, comprised of a 10-mi toll road extension of Route 125 from Spring Valley in Chula Vista to the U.S.-Mexico border. The private owners were South Bay Expressway L.P. and general partner California Transportation Ventures Inc. What caused the Chapter 11 filing was, according to the owners, the bad economy and some “litigation” issues.


现在,将如何收集Presidio Parkway通行费来支付维护费用和运营需要解决(Golden Gate Bridge收费站的额外费用?),但是您可以敢打赌,如果实施了巨额脂肪费用,驾驶员会发现一种解决方案(在这种情况下,里士满·桑·拉斐尔桥和海湾桥)。任何通行费收入的预测都可以抛弃。


其次,为什么不为此项目使用设计构建方法呢?四月份,CTC在该州首次授权在洛杉矶和河滨的两个区域项目通过设计建造前进。新利18备用网址正如Caltrans总监Randy Iwasaki当时所说:“这两个项目都是出色的设计建造候选人,具有提高交付效率和显新利18备用网址着创造就业机会的潜力。”


如果州,县和城市正在寻找公园大道项目的“效率”,那么这可能是一种选择。
