QUESTIONS DUE DATE: 4:00 p.m., Friday, April 19, 2024 Question should be directed to: Melissa Raggio Calaveras Transit Agency mraggio@calacog.org The Calaveras Transit Agency (CTA) is soliciting proposals from consulting firms with qualifications and experience necessary to design and support the construction of a new transit facility. CTA administers public transportation services in Calaveras County through Calaveras Connect, which operates fixed route and demand response service throughout the County. The Calaveras Transit Agency is constructing a new facility to house existing and future operations of the Calaveras Transit Agency (CTA) and the Calaveras Council of Governments (CCOG). The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit the services of a consultant to provide Architectural and Engineering services to design the CTA facility. The CTA intends to use the results of this RFP to evaluate and select a firm to negotiate a contract for the listed Architectural and Engineering (A/E) Service. The Calaveras Transit Agency is a public transit system that provides fixed-route commuter and dial-a-ride services throughout Calaveras County with connections to neighboring Amador and Tuolumne counties. The site selected for the transit office/maintenance facility is in San Andreas, CA, at 967 Highway 49 (APN 044-007-001). See the Attachments for the conceptual site plan. The office facility shall be designed at approximately 9,000 sq.ft. The CTA and CCOG office spaces will be separate but similar spaces. Each will have a conference room, staff offices, kitchenette, storage, IT rooms, and an outdoor employee sitting area. The CCOG space will have an entry reception area, while the CTA space will have a customer lobby with glass-walled dispatch and ticketing windows. Both spaces will have ADA-compliant publicly accessible restrooms as well as staff restrooms. The two office functions will not have a pass-through but will be connected through an exterior walkway. The Maintenance Building will be divided into bays with 12' x 14' overhead garage doors. The first three bays shall consist of three maintenance repair bays. These bays must be a height adequate to lift 12-foot-high buses to a level of 6 feet off the floor. There will be two lifts installed in the new facility for bus maintenance. One lift would be a two-post capable of raising 16,000 lbs. with a lift height of 16' or the maximum up to this height. A second 4-post lift would be able to lift 29,000 lbs. Consideration must be given to the appropriate foundation in this area. The remaining area of the maintenance building complex shall be designed for storage and a maintenance staff restroom. A standalone fourth bay shall be capable of containing bus washing equipment. Adjacent to the maintenance building will be a standalone Generator Building. The construction of the general office and maintenance buildings shall include materials to allow the area to be heated and cooled economically. It shall also allow an attractive visual appeal. A landscaping plan will be required that includes drought-tolerant native plantings and stormwater retention areas. The parking areas will be asphalt, while the pedestrian walkways, curbing, and bus parking areas will be concrete. The design vehicle for the site is a 40-foot bus as identified in the California Highway Design Manual section 400-24, see Attachments. A separate bus parking area should be covered with solar panels. Electric Vehicle parking must be included in the staff/visitor parking areas adjacent to the office building and the bus parking areas near the maintenance building. Lighting shall be designed to provide maximum security to the facility. The CTA requires this facility to be designed and constructed using LEED guidelines. Energy efficiency must be a strong component of the facility design. For additional information regarding the RFP contact Melissa Raggio at mraggio@calacog.org, 209-754-2094.
