Quarterly Status of On-Call Agreements

BART periodically awards on-call contracts that provide general authority for consultant teams to assist BART in several areas related to capital projects, such as environmental planning, general engineering, and construction management. The on-call contracts are not for specific projects, but as services are needed, individual task orders or work plans are authorized to a consulting firm and its subcontractors based on various criteria. Although the contracts have maximum dollar amounts over a specified time period, consultant teams are not guaranteed a specific amount of work and are only paid for the work they complete, which may not be the full dollar capacity of the contract.

View the On-Call Contracts Status table showing the status of BART’s various on-call consulting agreements. The individual work plans that make-up the work can be found here
