The development of the former Oakland Army Base by the Port and City of Oakland has required innovative funding, adaptable delivery methods and persistence in the face of extreme challenges. The federal Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed the Oakland Army Base (OAB) in 1993. The land was transferred to the City of Oakland (City) and Port of Oakland (Port) in 2006. The Port has been planning for the redevelopment of its portion of the former OAB for decades and refers to the Project as the Outer Harbor Intermodal Terminal (OHIT). The Project is phased to focus initially on basic rail infrastructure: mainline connections and bulk/manifest delivery facilities (Phase 1). The plans for future Phase 2 development include a wide-span gantry intermodal yard, rail access enhancements necessary to support the intermodal operations and other industrial land uses. The delivery of Phase 1 of OHIT required extensive stakeholder coordination and collaboration among the Port, the City, private development partners, UPRR, BNSF and affected public and private utilities.
