Subject: Omnitrans 2017 TDA Article 3 funds
Dear Nancy,
In a letter from Cameron Brown at SBCTA to Omnitrans dated February 14, 2019, SBCTA granted an
extension of the completion timeline for expending the 2017 Article 3 funds until December 31, 2020. Since
Omnitrans was awarded these funds in October 2017, Omnitrans hired a design firm, who has since completed
final design for the improvements and submitted the plans to the six jurisdictions in November 2019. The plans
are still under review by the jurisdictions; several jurisdictions have provided comments, and revisions have
been made to the plans. Upon receiving approval from all six jurisdictions and Caltrans, Omnitrans and the
design firm will finalize the specifications and cost estimates. We are expecting to put the projects out to bid for
construction in mid-2021 and complete the project in early 2022. Thus, I humbly request an extension of the
deadline to complete expenditure and billing of the funds until March 1, 2022.
I look forward to SBCTA’s approval of this request. If you are in need of any further information, please feel
free to contact me at (909) 379-7256 or anna.jaiswal@omnitrans.org.
Sincerely,
Anna Jaiswal
Development Planning Manager
