Explanation
§ Although the Blue Line Extension (BLE) project successfully opened for revenue service on March 16, 2018, work continues with the Civil A and Track and Systems contracts to complete all required work, including submittals, testing, corrective actions, and closeout documentation. The current schedule for completion of all testing is September 2019. The BLE project continues to be under budget. The project is located in Council Districts 1 and 4.
§ STV Engineers Inc. is providing design services during construction and construction administration services for the BLE.
§ STV contract amendment #10 is needed due to the following:
- Extended schedule to complete the Civil A contract at 36th Street, including retaining walls, final grading and lighting; and at the CSX railroad due to the failure of an existing box culvert,
- Extended schedule to complete the Track and Systems work, including resolution of issues and completion of system integration testing and acceptance. STV is needed to provide additional testing support, and
- Design services and construction administration work needed for additional work at the North Yard building.
§ On March 26, 2012, the City Council approved up to $38,500,000 to provide design and construction administration services for the BLE project.
§ Nine contract amendments have been approved to date.
§ The new total value of the contract, including this amendment, is not to exceed $54,858,000, which is within the current BLE project budget.
