(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.
