David Miller, Legal Counsel, said this special meeting is to conduct a closed session prior to the regular meeting to discuss a matter of potential litigation. Closed Session: Conference with Legal Counsel – Potential Litigation – Significant Exposure to Litigation Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.9(b) (One Potential Case) Adjourned to closed session at 9:36 a.m. Reconvened to open session at 9:52 a.m. Mr. Miller said the special meeting is in reference to item 12 on the regular meeting agenda. At the time the agenda was published, proposed change orders had been negotiated for the San Bruno Grade Separation Project as publicly reported in the regular agenda packet. Subsequent to posting the agenda, staff and legal counsel engaged in further discussions with the construction contractor with respect to potential claims in addition to the change orders that are referenced in the regular meeting agenda packet. As a result of those discussions, an agreement was reached, subject to Board approval. Mr. Miller said as a result of the closed session and the report from Chuck Harvey, Deputy CEO, a new resolution is before the Board that increases the Executive Director’s change order authority to $5,978,000. This is to facilitate not only the change orders referenced in the regular meeting agenda report, but an additional $1.4 million in claims. Mr. Miller noted that the claims sought by the contractor were considerably in excess of $1.4 million. This action will allow for a full release of all claims and potential Page 1 of 2 Joint Powers Special Meeting Minutes June 5, 2014 claims from the construction contractor and allow the project to be completed in an orderly fashion with no new claims.

  • REPORT 2019 Looking Back on the Accomplishments of 2019, the Theme Was “Triumph in the Face of Great Challenge.”
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Looking back on the accomplishments of 2019, the theme was “triumph in the face of great challenge.” The creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on Board Enhancement led our board members to seek out new ways to heighten their impact and commitment to the work of VTA. Directed by Board Chair Teresa O’Neill, this committee Nuria I. Fernandez came up with fresh ideas to help improve board VTA General Manager & CEO members’ eectiveness and hold them to a higher standard of engagement. It was a year of great achievement. We successfully carried out the most Contents significant changes to our transit service plan we’ve seen in more than a decade. After meticulous planning designing the system to serve more 1 General Manager’s passengers with greater frequency, dozens of VTA employees donned Introduction ambassador hats to cover the entire service area. They answered questions and helped passengers navigate changes in their bus and train routes. 2-3 Financial Stability 4 Safety and Security We also helped improve the flow of trac along one of the busiest thoroughfares in the Bay Area with the expansion of Express Lanes on State 5 Transportation Innovation Route 237. We began construction to realign and widen the notoriously congested interchange at Mathilda Ave and Highway 101 in Sunnyvale, 6-7 Operations adding other amenities to allow better mobility for various types of vehicles. 8 Building for Today and the Future Ridership remains a significant challenge for transit operators across the nation. But with innovative endeavors like the addition of Zero Emission, fully 9 BART Silicon Valley electric buses, and pilot projects such as the accessible autonomous vehicle Extension to be used as a shuttle for Veterans Administration hospital patients, we are forging ahead to find more eective and attractive ways to move people.
