This project marks a powerful investment in Oakland students. With 85% of graduates accepted to CSU campuses and 56% accepted to UC schools, CCPA continues to deliver outstanding college outcomes. As Oakland USD’s Chief Systems & Services Officer Preston Thomas noted, Peralta Colleges has been an essential partner in creating clear college pathways through dual enrollment and early college opportunities, helping students earn credits, build confidence, and successfully transition from high school to higher education.

A special shoutout to all our local Oakland project partners, your passion for this community shows in everything you bring to this project.

Thank you to Oakland voters for investing in CCPA students through Measure Y, we’re honored to help deliver on that commitment.

Collaboration at the Heart of the Project

Stanislaus Regional Water Authority (SRWA) desired a collaborative process while using the BVDB model. This was communicated early by the SRWA team and reinforced through early engagement with the design-build community, distributing draft procurement and contract documents for review and input, and establishing and encouraging two-way communication. This level of collaboration continued throughout the project. When issues arose, particularly during the pandemic, the entire team came together to do what was best for the project. The best solution for the project was always put first by all parties.

The RSWS project created a drought-resilient, diverse and quality water supply to the surrounding community that also benefited agricultural areas nearby. The project provided environmental benefits to aquatic species in the upper reaches of the Tuolumne River. The team included Stanislaus Regional Water Authority (Owner), Jacobs (Design-Build Engineer), West Yost Associates (Owner Advisors) and key specialty contractors: ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, Mountain Cascade, and San Joaquin Electric.
