The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line Transformation Program is a $4.9 Billion program to improve the Green Line – the oldest light rail system in the nation.
The plan’s goals are to improve safety and the state of good repair, improve accessibility to meet state and federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, replace existing light rail cars with a new generation light rail vehicles, and to improve capacity of the system.
Our company is part of the PM/CM team hired by the MBTA to assist them in delivering the program and provides construction management, field QA/QC inspection, and project controls services including scheduling, estimating, and risk analysis.
We are currently providing construction management and project controls services for Ameren Missouri’s High Prairie and Outlaw Wind Farm projects. The two sites have an expected capacity of 700 MW combined.
We provide support to Ameren staff on technical, contractual, quality, budgetary, schedule, and risk elements of the projects.
Our responsibilities include cost reporting, project schedule development, analysis of contractor schedules, project management information system technology, and weekly and monthly progress reporting.
We provide a full-time construction management team for oversight of project developers and contractors.
We are developing GIS models of both projects and integrating the model with Ameren’s existing asset management databases.
As a key partner in the Transit Capital Program (TCP) Joint Venture, we were awarded a five-year contract by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) (the nation's second-largest public transportation system) to deliver program management services.
In addition to managing the CTA's core program, TCP (with our company as the lead) is providing oversight and management for the CTA's $2.2 billion Red/Purple Modernization Program.
TCP's program management services encompass overall program and project planning, project prioritization/selection, design and procurement oversight, construction oversight, design management, project controls (program level and detailed project level), enterprise asset management, and project administration for the CTA's Infrastructure Core Program and the Red/Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One project.
Allston Multimodal is a $1.5 billion project consisting of a major highway realignment with local road and interchange reconstruction, rail yard for mid-day layover of commuter trains, a new commuter rail station, and park/river access improvements.
We were provided substation and distribution electrical design, project controls, cost estimating, and a variety of program management support services.
We have performed bottom-up Independent Cost Estimating, CTD Schedule Development, Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), and construction staging review for multiple alternatives that aided MassDOT in the selection process of the desired alternative. Each of the alternatives had multiple iterations. As each alternative is only at a conceptual design stage, documenting the estimating methodologies, construction means and methods, assumed phasing and staging, temporary works, crew production rates, and conceptual level schedule assumptions and exclusions was key.
We have also supported MassDOT with risk congestion mitigation exercises, cross-agency coordination, and presentation of material to key stakeholders.
We are the lead firm in a Joint Venture performing the role of Program Manager and Construction Manager (PM/CM) on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) $1.2 billion Red/Orange Line Transformation Program. This program will provide infrastructure improvements to the existing Red Line and Orange Line systems to support a new and enlarged fleet of both Red Line and Orange Line vehicles.
The project scope includes full upgrade of the signals systems for both transit lines, extensive renovations and modernization of two car houses, the expansion of one yard, and the complete rebuild of another yard.
Test tracks for the Orange Line and Red Line were also included in the project, as well as system-wide track, signal, and power improvements on both lines.
The Joint Venture developed type studies, concept designs, bridging documents for signals design-build, and managed the final design process, design consultant contracts, and field construction.
The team also implemented full project controls and process improvement for eBuilder and safety certification.
