RECOMMENDATION

Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Modification No. 5 to Contract No. AE51242000 with Cordoba/HNTB Design Partners, Inc. to continue advanced conceptual engineering support in the amount of $17,958,254, increasing the total current contract value from $17,556,103 to $35,514,357 and extend the period of performance from February 28, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

Issue
ISSUE

This is a request to authorize additional funds for engineering professional services under Contract No. AE51242000. A Contract Modification is necessary to continue Advanced Conceptual Engineering (ACE) for high-risk project elements and to continue coordination with key Metro departments and stakeholders in order to move the project toward the selection of the project delivery method. Advancing this engineering work, such as geotechnical investigation, utility identification, and tunneling analysis, will help to mitigate risks for the project which could have a detrimental effect on the overall cost and schedule, and provide the engineering information required for Metro to finalize the selection of the eventual project delivery method.

Background
BACKGROUND

Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 is an approximately 9-mile light rail transit extension from the existing Metro L (Gold) Line serving the cities and communities of Commerce, Montebello, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, and unincorporated East Los Angeles and West Whittier-Los Nietos. At the December 2022 Board meeting (Agenda Item 2022-0684), the Board approved the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) to Greenwood Station with design options, and authorized staff to also include in the final environmental impact report the full Project alignment to Whittier per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project will ...
