BOARD MEMORANDUM

FROM:
SUBJECT:
In January 2015, VTA initiated the state and federal environmental process for the Phase II
extension. The 6-mile project is planned to include a twin-bore tunnel through Downtown San
Jose, with four stations (Alum Rock/28th Street, Downtown San Jose, Diridon, and Santa Clara)
and a maintenance facility located on VTAs Newhall Yard property.
At the March 7, 2016 SVRT Program Working Committee meeting, the Committee received a
presentation on the Phase II construction methodology currently included in the environmental
document. The planned methodology for constructing the underground stations with the twinbore tunnel includes cut-and-cover construction. Cut-and-cover construction would excavate
from the street or ground level down to the base of the station. This station construction would
impact street level activities and underground utilities in Downtown San Jose.
Throughout the planning process, VTA has heard concerns about the traffic, business and street
activity impacts of cut-and-cover construction from Downtown San Jose area stakeholders. At
the March 7, 2016 meeting, staff informed committee members that additional construction
methodologies less impactful to the community would be evaluated for feasibility.
Based on outreach to tunnel construction experts, VTA recently began considering a single-bore
tunnel methodology, which would allow for station construction with reduced impacts to
Downtown San Jose. VTA has begun some preliminary analysis of the feasibility of this tunnel
and related station construction approach.
3331 North First Street San Jose, CA 95134-1927 Administration 408.321.5555 Customer Service 408.321.2300
VTA has reviewed the analysis with BART and FTA, and based on the reviews, VTA intends to
conduct further technical analysis and include this tunnel construction approach in the
environmental document. A presentation on the single-bore tunnel concept will be provided at
the May 2, 2016 SVRT Program Working Committee meeting.

Risk Assessment
Tunneling
Moderate mechanical risk with large tunnel boring machine (TBM)
Lower safety risks due to single versus twin drives
Mined structures
No cross passages, hence risk eliminated
Moderate risk of mining connections between tunnel and
station/vent structures
Schedule delay
Lower risk from utility relocations and 3rd party interfaces
Lower risk associated with environmental mitigation measures
Lower risk from differing site conditions with cut and cover and
utilities relocation
Cost overrun
Lower risk from changed conditions and environmental /
community issues
