Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to award Contract C45161C1152 to Tutor Perini/O&G, JV, for the final design and construction of the Westside Purple Line Extension Section 3 Project Stations, Trackwork, Systems and Testing in the amount of $1,363,620,000, pursuant to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approved Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) instead of a Full Funding Grant Agreement at this time.

Issue
ISSUE

In February 2019, staff brought the Stations, Trackwork, Systems and Testing Contract (Stations Contract) to the Board to approve awarding the remaining final design and construction needed to complete the Westside Purple Line Extension Section 3 Project (Section 3 Project), subject to the FTA approval of a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA). After Board approval and through discussions with the FTA, it was determined that approval of the FFGA would not be possible prior to price proposals expiring for the Stations Contract on May 30, 2019, and therefore it would be necessary to request a LONP from the FTA. Metro proceeded on March 5, 2019 by requesting a LONP from the FTA in the amount of $1.452 billion. FTA issued the LONP on April 18, 2019. By receiving this LONP, it allows Metro to actually award and execute the contract, and subsequently issue the NTP for the Stations Contract as approved by the Board in February 2019. The approval of the LONP preserves the project timeline for construction and secures the favorable price received from the contractor, while Metro continues to work with the FTA to receive the Section 3 Project FFGA later this year.
