There will be 21 stations in Phase 1 that will provide a much improved transit connection to Ontario International Airport (ONT) and help build transit connectivity by linking ONT, two Metrolink lines (San Bernardino and Riverside) and multiple major activity centers along the route including Ontario Mills and Victoria Gardens. Headways will be 10 minutes in the peak commute period and 15 minutes off-peak, providing a high level of service to the community. A General Contractor who desires to submit a Bid must have specific recent and relevant experience completing transportation highway and/or bus rapid transit construction work, specifically including working with transit signal priority systems. Deadline for questions is June 2, 2023 by 4:00pm. Phase 1 of the West Valley Connector Project has an overall project DBE goal of 8.5% of the total anticipated Project cost for mainline construction, construction management, and project management. Omnitrans, the direct recipient of funds, has an overall agency DBE goal of 2.9%.
