Design and Construction Oversight: TGC staff
provides extensive design and construction
administration support to our clients. Frequently small
transit agencies do not have in-house personnel with the
experience and time to dedicate to capital project
implementation - often, the agency may be venturing into
their first capital project. TGC will administer and
supervise the design and construction phase of all types
of capital improvement projects: transit terminals,
parking garages, park-and-ride facilities, intermodal
terminals, maintenance facilities, BRT/LRT, etc. With
TGC on your team, you can be sure that your project
meets all your FTA requirements and that the paperwork
flows smoothly. (Projects: Galveston Downtown Terminal, Galveston
Trolley, El Paso Suburban Terminals, El Paso Union Plaza)
Site Selection & Land Acquisition: TGC uses an
effective, cost-efficient method to identify candidate sites for
capital projects. Our method measures local conditions and client
preferences along with the standard elements required of a good
site. Site selection recommendations are communicated in a clear,
concise manner. We manage the process in order to form a local
consensus. Once a site has been chosen, FTA guidelines must be
followed to purchase land with federal funds. TGC has assisted its
clients in the land acquisition process. TGC staff has accreditation
as land appraisers and years of experience in acquisition.
Community Participation: TGC has extensive experience in
generating meaningful stakeholder and community input into the
planning and implementation processes. Seeking public input and
participation is included in every TGC project. TGC typically
manages stakeholder identification and communication, community
meetings, project website development, and media relations for each
project. Top employers, transit riders and other key stakeholder
groups are frequently polled to gain their opinions concerning
proposed changes. (Projects:
El Paso International Transit Terminal, Rochester,
NY Central Station)
