  • The Downturn: Bidders from Around the World Crowd Yolo Construction
    The Downturn: Bidders from around the world crowd Yolo construction- equipment auction By Jim Downing Modesto Bee, Thursday, August 7, 2008 The global economy rumbled through rural Yolo County on Wednesday as bidders from six continents snapped up California's dump trucks and front-loaders at the Ritchie Bros. auction house near Dunnigan. With new home construction down more than 50 percent from last year, contractors and equipment brokers across the state are unloading idle machines that not long ago were moving earth for subdivisions and shopping centers. Bargain-hunters from around the world were combing the more than 900 items displayed in the Ritchie Bros. lot along Interstate 5 on Wednesday. They revved engines from the cabs of bulldozers and kicked the 8-foot-tall tires on earth scrapers the size of small houses. By 4 p.m., the list of winning bidders included buyers from 37 states and 25 foreign countries. While British Columbia-based Ritchie Bros. offers bidding via the Internet from anywhere in the world, some buyers traveled to Dunnigan from as far away as Asia and Africa. Ermiyas Beraki, who runs a construction firm in Ethiopia, picked up a loader for $10,500 – a great price, he said, hurrying off to bid on a 25-ton dump truck. Nazmi Arslan, who wore sleek brown loafers amid a crowd mostly in boots, was looking to buy bulldozers and graders for his family's equipment business in central Turkey. Construction isn't exactly booming back home, Arslan said, but he's always looking for a deal. A good buy could make up for his travel costs and more than cover the $30,000 or so it would cost to deliver a purchase to Turkey.

  • Merced County Coordinated Transit Service Plan July 2009
    Merced County Coordinated Transit Service Plan July 2009 FINAL PLAN ADOPTED AUGUST 2009 Coordinated Transit Services Plan – Merced County INTRODUCTION The Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG), as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is responsible for transportation planning in Merced County. This includes development and adoption of planning policies and documents, review and coordination of transportation planning, and transportation policy direction. MCAG is the lead agency for the development of a Coordinated Transit Service Plan under the direction of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). PURPOSE OF PLAN The Coordinated Transit Services Plan (CTSP) is prepared in response to the coordinated planning requirements of SAFETEA-LU, which requires that projects selected for funding under the Job Access and Reverse Commute 5316 Program (JARC), New Freedom 5317 Program and Elderly Individuals and Individuals with Disabilities 5310 Program be derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan. A locally developed, CTSP identifies the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, provides strategies for meeting those local needs, and prioritizes transportation services for funding and implementation. At a minimum the plan must include the following elements: 1. An assessment of available services identifying current providers, public and private; 2. An assessment of transportation needs for individuals with disabilities, older adults and persons with low incomes – this assessment can be based on the experiences and perceptions of planning partners or on data collection efforts and gaps in service; 3. Strategies and/or activities and/or projects to address the identified gaps between current services and needs, as well as opportunities to improve efficiencies in service delivery; 4.
