The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has cut ties with the tunnel contractor Kiewit Shea Traylor (KST) for the San Jose BART extension project, a unanimous decision by the Board of Directors. This comes as the VTA struggles to fill a significant funding gap between $700 million and $1.2 billion. The move is part of efforts to keep the project on schedule, showcasing prior cost savings of $400 million, with more efficiencies anticipated. KST's inability to negotiate terms on the next phase of construction prompted this action along with concerns about project management moving forward.
VTA officials unanimously decided to part ways with Kiewit Shea Traylor due to an inability to agree on pricing for the second phase of the BART project. They believe this decision will not affect the project schedule, despite the challenges ahead such as a $700 million to $1.2 billion funding gap. The project aims to enhance public transit in the region by extending the BART line.
