Issue
ISSUE
This board report provides a quarterly update from Program Management on change orders related to our capital program that are greater than $500,000. Greater detail is provided in Attachment A - Quarterly Change Orders Log for Reporting Period of September 1, 2022 - November 30, 2022.
Background
BACKGROUND
In January 2017, the Board approved a one-year pilot to delegate to the CEO authority to execute project agreements up to the Life-of-Project (LOP) budget for the Crenshaw/LAX, Regional Connector, and Purple Line Extension Section 1 & 2 projects. The purpose of the pilot was to save time and minimize disruption due to the typical contract change administration approval process.
The pilot program was effective, generated cost savings and avoided costly construction delays. At the January 26, 2018 Board meeting, the Board approved the continuation and expansion of the delegation of authority within LOP budget management on all Transit and Regional Rail Capital Projects. Staff was directed to provide quarterly reports to the Board on change orders and modifications that are above $500,000. CEO Board delegated authority of changes is very beneficial to expedite contract changes and avoid costly construction delays. Since inception of the program up to 2,075 concurrent workdays or concurrent 8.0 years, aggregated across the program, have been saved.
