RECEIVE AND FILE this Status Report on Program Management Quarterly Changes.

ISSUE
This quarterly report is a summary of contract changes greater than $500,000 for Metro projects that used the Board delegated authority to the CEO.
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 its January 2018 meeting, the Board approved the continuation and expansion of the delegation of authority within the LOP budget 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 (Attachment A). Board delegated authority to the CEO is very beneficial to expedite contract changes and avoid costly construction delays. Since inception of the program up to 3,336 concurrent workdays or concurrent 12.9 years, aggregated across the program, have been saved (Attachment B).
