Issue
ISSUE

On December 1, 2016 Board of Director's meeting, the Board authorized the CEO to provide Metrolink with "pre-contract award authority" action plan that authorizes Metrolink to proceed with the development of the necessary scope(s) of work, advertise the contract opportunities, and structure the procurements with a series of options to provide flexibility with respect to the amount of funding available. Metrolink's actual award of contracts would not be authorized until such time as Metro's Board approves an appropriation by April 30, 2017 (refer to Attachment A).

Since then, staff in collaboration with SCRRA has performed several due diligence reviews between November 23, 2016 and February 28, 2017 inspecting 29 "Priority A" bridges, culverts and rail ties. Staff has completed the first round of due diligence review of Metrolink's "Priority A" urgent structure and rail tie rehabilitation work. Staff intends to work with SCRRA on a multi-phase approach and recommending an approval of up to $18,381,025 of additional funding for Metrolink's urgent structure and rail tie rehabilitation work for the first phase. Metro along with the other SCRRA Joint Power Authority members have committed to working with SCRRA to fund the urgent structure and rail tie rehabilitation work to prevent slow orders.
