Title
CONSIDER adopting the Life-of-Project (LOP) budget of $30,000,000 for a new Crenshaw/LAX Close Out Project.

The Crenshaw/LAX project is 95% complete. As the project reaches completion, Metro requires a close out project to provide funding for work anticipated to commence after substantial completion of the Crenshaw Project has been achieved.

A new "catch-all contract" will be issued for bid to handle the remaining miscellaneous items that are required to be constructed separate from the design-build contract and may potentially be used for other projects as well.
