DISCUSSION
In July and August 1997, the City conducted interviews of consultants for design and engineering services for
the Tustin Commuter Rail Station. The City offered interviews to all five (5) of the Consultants currently
under contract to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) for Commuter Rail Design
services including: Boyle Engineering Corporation, Huitt-Zollars Corporation, Miralles Associates, STV
Corporation, and Transmetrics Corporation. All of the above participated in the interviews with the exception
of Transmetrics Corporation, which declined the interview.
The Consultant's presentations were reviewed and evaluated based upon demonstrated competence,
professional qualifications necessary to provide for the satisfactory performance of the required service,
familiarity and prior experience with providing this type of service.
Based upon the noted criteria, interviews conducted, and favorable references, it is recommended that Miralles
Associates of Alta Dena, CA be selected to provide professional architectural and engineering services for
design of the Tustin Commuter Rail Station.
