Excerpt:

Carlson Barbee & Gibson , Inc. (CBG) has provided civil engineering and surveying
consulting services for the redevelopment of the Naval Air Station Alameda (Alameda
Point) on behalf of the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) and the
ARRA' s previous master developers for over ten years. CBG worked for the ARRA
directly during the ARRA' s previous predevelopment effort in 2004-2006 and was
retained most recently by the ARRA in November 2010 to assist the ARRA in its current
efforts. CBG maintains invaluable knowledge of the Alameda Point property and the
infrastructure challenges faced by the site from its past experience working for the
previous master developer, Alameda Point Community Partners (APCP), and for the
ARRA.
