Specifications include, but are not limited to: STA in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and California Highway Patrol (CHP) presents this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to prospective entities or groups of entities interested in the project to design, integrate and construct the technology systems for a new Interstate 80 (I-80) Westbound Cordelia Vehicle Enforcement Facility (WB-CCVEF1 ) in Solano County, California. The WB I-80 CCVEF will replace the existing Cordelia Truck Scales along Westbound I‐80, which was constructed in 1958 to inspect trucks entering the San Francisco Bay Area from locations nationwide. It currently accommodates between 500 and 700 trucks per day and consists of two dynamic scales, one static scale, four inspection bays, and limited parking. Existing access from I‐80 consists of short on- and off-ramps, resulting in truck traffic backing up onto I‐80 and increasing the potential for rear‐end accidents. During peak traffic periods experienced several times per week, the facility is closed to incoming trucks to prevent this queuing. The new truck scales facility will be relocated 0.7 mile east from its current location and will provide a new braided off‐ramp connection and new entrance ramp connection to/from Westbound I‐80. Direct access to the facility will also be provided from westbound State Route 12 (East). The new facility will have the capacity to inspect all westbound I‐80 trucks passing the facility 24 hours per day, seven days a week, with eight covered inspection areas to accommodate long vehicle combinations, elevated structures to enable inspectors to check the domes and top portions of cargo trucks, “Weigh In Motion” scales with the capability to sort truck traffic into the appropriate lane along the approach roadway, and a minimum of four sets of scales to accommodate two lanes of empty and loaded trucks.
