The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transport (BART) proposed to extend the existing BART system into East Contra Costa County (“eBART”). The eBART project was intended to provide frequent, reliable, and high-quality transit service and connect the growing region of East Contra Costa County with areas already served by BART. A parking lot and accessed road from Hillcrest Avenue to the Hillcrest Parking Lot was built to support the proposed end of line Hillcrest Station as part of the $462 million eBART Extension Project.
AGS was contracted by BART to provide final plans, specifications, and a cost estimate for a new 1,000-stall parking lot and1,900-LF of access road near Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch. The proposed improvements encompassed the construction of the BART parking lot on a 200-acresite and a City of Antioch public roadway (Slatten Ranch Road). The project included the design of civil, landscape, structural, and lighting facilities. The project was designed in compliance with BART Facility Standards, ADA accessibility guidelines, and RWQCB and C.3 requirements (Storm Water Control Plan and SWPPP). The project incorporated sustainable practices including renewable energy with a 1.96 MW carport photovoltaic system, LED lighting, stormwater infiltration and detention, and drought-tolerant landscaping. The firm also coordinated with Caltrans regarding the interchange design, roadway alignment, permitting, and SWPPP.
