CVTA committee recommends round 4 application schedule with extra review buffer and on‑call engineering bench
Summary
The committee recommended that the full authority approve the CVTA round 4 application process, which adds schedule buffers for applicant iterations and uses an on‑call PlanRVA engineering bench for third‑party reviews; the recommendation passed by voice vote.
The Central Virginia Transportation Authority technical advisory committee recommended that the full authority approve the CVTA round 4 application process and schedule.
Staff said the revised schedule — described as a draft in the agenda packet — builds additional time into several steps of the application cycle to allow for applicant revisions following score feedback, to accommodate third‑party estimate reviews and to permit more discussion and iteration before final recommendations.
Staff also said the region has an on‑call engineering bench through PlanRVA, which simplifies procurement for third‑party reviews and allows the authority to access engineering review services more quickly than previous rounds.
A committee member moved to recommend full authority approval of the round 4 application process; another member seconded. The motion was approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition or abstentions.
The committee directed staff to proceed with the revised schedule and to use the PlanRVA on‑call engineering bench for third‑party reviews as needed.
No roll‑call vote was recorded for this item in the transcript; the committee used a voice vote to approve the recommendation.
