The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has approved construction of the $653-million Eastridge to BART Regional Connector Project in San Jose, Calif. A joint venture of Sacramento-based MCM Construction and New York City-based RailWorks Corp. was selected on March 7 to build the project, with a winning bid of $437.1 million.
The bid was the lowest but it still was about $120 million above the project estimate, according to the authority.
