Hi Estephany, Great question. A project extension will apply to both the spending deadline and the contract award requirement. If the extension is for 1 year, we will expect the contract to be awarded by the following annual update. These requirements help SBCTA staff verify that the project is moving forward as expected. Under TDA Article 3 guidelines, a contract must be awarded within 3 years because project awards span 4 years. If a contract is not awarded within that 3‑year window, it signals to SBCTA staff that the project may require an extension.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good morning Lisa, Great, thank you for the information. Is there a way to request an extension for the “three years of award” requirement for construction contracts? This isn’t something we need at the moment, as we expect to have a contract awarded within the next upcoming months. I’m asking purely for my own understanding.

Hi Estephany, Happy Friday! Thank you for the clarification. If you need a time extension, please submit a formal request on official letterhead via email at least 4–6 months before the 06/30/2027 deadline to allow sufficient processing time. The request should explain the reason for the delay and outline the steps you or the City will take to ensure the project is completed by the extended deadline.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello Lisa, I believe that last year we were also confused about what the “Estimate of Expenses to Date” was referring to. We indicated $50 as we thought it was the total project cost to date and not just TDA estimate. So far we have expended $50 to date. With the TDA local match, we have expended $37.50 of TDA funds so far. I believe it was a misunderstanding. Our project manager is currently reviewing options to move the project toward award, and at this time we feel confident that we will be able to complete the contract award before the deadline. However, if delays do arise, could you please confirm the deadline by which the City would be able to request an extension? Having that information will help us ensure we remain in full compliance with the grant guidelines.

Hi Estephany, Thank you again for providing the updated expenses. I wanted to follow up regarding the “Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons” project. From what I can see, the reported TDA Article 3 expenditure to date for this project is lower this year than what was listed last year (last year’s report indicated approximately $50). Could you help to verify if this cost-to-date is accurate? Additionally, as per TDA Article 3 grant guidelines, construction contracts need to be awarded within three years of the award notification. Since this project has been on our books for two years now, could you confirm when the contract is expected to be awarded? Knowing this timeline will help ensure the City will be able to meet the grant requirements. Thank you for your help in clarifying these points. Please let me know if you need any additional information from my end.

Hi Estephany, Thank you for your quick response. Apologies on the confusion, I’m looking for TDA Article 3 estimate of expenses to date vs. total project estimate of expense to date because I noticed that the estimate of expense to date for the “10 bus pads” is higher than the Total TDA 3 Award so wanted to make that distinction.

Good afternoon Lisa, At this time, we will not need to proceed with an extension, as we anticipate completing the project within the year. Moreover, is the “Estimate of Expenses to Date” different from “Spend to Date”? If so, can you please explain the difference?

Good afternoon Estephany, Thank you for the updates! I noticed that the TDA Article 3 spend for the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons project is the same as last year. I just wanted to check in to see if you’d like to consider requesting for an extension? Could you also provide the TDA Article 3 spend to date for all 3 projects? Thank you!

Waiting for Council (7/14/26) Acceptance $105,779.41 yes yes On May 3, 2023, the SBCTA Board approved changes to the program that now require annual Progress Reports. We hope this will help us get ahead of any potential issues and limit the number of times we need to go to the Board with scope change and extension requests. In addition to the progress reporting requirement, awardees must also demonstrate expenditure of some funds within ONE year of award notification and, for construction contracts, a contract must be awarded within THREE years of award notification. We expect there to be some leniency for existing awards, particularly with the one year expenditure rule. If funds have not yet been spent, please provide a brief project schedule showing how the City intends to complete the project by the deadline.
