An Alameda County Superior Court judge dismissed a lawsuit brought on by the Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG) to halt the Dept. of Transportation�s plan to use a public-private partnership for the second phase of the $1-billion Presidio Parkway project in San Francisco.
After the union successfully got the court’s approval for a temporary restraining order in late November, which the judge dissolved Dec. 22, Caltrans selected one of its P3 bidders for the design, construction, finance, operation and maintenance for 30 years of the new parkway. The $488-million contract was awarded to Golden Link Concessionaire LLC, whose partners include Essen, Germany-based HOCHTIEF Concessions and Meridiam Infrastructure, Luxemburg. The consortium’s construction team is led by HOCHTIEF subsidiary, Longmont, Colo.-based Flatiron Construction Corp.
