Issue
ISSUE
This board report is a receive and file that summarizes quarterly changes valued at greater than $500,000 for projects managed by Program Management. Additional detail is provided in Attachment A - Quarterly Change Orders Log for Reporting Period of March 1, 2023 - May 31, 2023.
Background
BACKGROUND
In January 2017, the Metro Board approved a one-year pilot to delegate the CEO the 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 the January 26, 2018 Board meeting, the Board approved the continuation and expansion of the delegation of authority within Life of Project budget management 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. This CEO delegated authority of changes is very beneficial to expedite contract changes and avoid costly construction delays. Since the inception of the program up to 2,344 concurrent workdays or concurrent 9.1 years, aggregated across the program, have been saved.
