188.61
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that in order to
provide maximum safety for the traveling public and to ensure
continuous and unimpeded operation of the state's transportation
network, the Antioch Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge are each in need
of a seismic safety retrofit.
(b) The Antioch Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge are hereby deemed
to be part of the state toll bridge seismic retrofit program
described in Section 188.5. Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of
Section 188.6 or any other provision of law, the cost overrun savings
described in that subdivision shall not be shared between the state
and the Bay Area Toll Authority, but shall instead be transferred to
the Bay Area Toll Account, and are hereby appropriated to the
authority for expenditure on the Antioch Bridge and the Dumbarton
Bridge seismic safety retrofit projects. All other funds required to
complete the Antioch Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge seismic safety
retrofit projects shall be provided by the authority. The authority
may increase the amount of the tolls collected on the toll bridges
described in Section 30910 pursuant to Sections 30918 and 31011 for
the purpose of completing these projects.
(c) All of the requirements of Sections 30952.05, 30952.1,
30952.2, and 30952.3 shall also be applied to the seismic retrofit of
the Antioch Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge. The Toll Bridge Program
Oversight Committee, established by Section 30952.1, shall have
project oversight and control responsibilities for these projects to
the same extent as for the Benicia-Martinez Bridge project.
(d) All maintenance expenditures required to be funded by Section
188.4 with authority toll revenues shall be funded from toll revenues
remaining after provision is made for payment of all obligations of
the authority that are secured by a pledge of toll revenues.
