Station Realignment Likely to Trigger Supplemental Environmental and Design Work
Summary
Dropping the downtown Bakersfield station in favor of a new location north of 7th Standard Road will likely require supplemental environmental documentation and updated preliminary engineering — inferred based on standard CEQA/NEPA requirements for significant alignment changes.
Details
Firms with existing Central Valley program management, environmental, or civil design roles are best positioned to capture supplemental task orders stemming from this realignment.
