Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to execute Modification No. 8 to Contract No. AE51242000 with Cordoba HNTB Design Partners, a Joint Venture, in the amount of $74,869,029 to advance to 30% Preliminary Engineering (PE) for the Initial Operating Segment (IOS), increasing the contract value from $35,514,357 to $110,383,386 and extending the period of performance from December 31, 2024, to August 30, 2026.

ISSUE

On May 23, 2024, the Metro Board approved the full 9-mile Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 Project, with a 4.6-mile Initial Operating Segment (IOS) to Greenwood Station and a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the City of Montebello, and certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) of this Project. Metro filed the Notice of Determination (NOD) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with the Los Angeles County Clerk and CA State Clearinghouse on May 24, 2024. Metro anticipates reinitiating the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance process and continuing project design development in Summer/Fall 2024.

Staff are seeking Board approval for a contract modification to continue project design from 15% advanced conceptual engineering to 30% PE design for the 4.6-mile IOS to the Greenwood Station for the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 Project. The execution of Modification No. 8 is necessary for the advancement of the design through the Project Development phase. This phase will progress the design to include the continuation of designing complex elements (tunnel, cut and cover stations, cross passages, transitions structures, maintenance storage facility, etc.), geotechnical analysis of the underground alignment, and further design of conflicting utilities that will require relocation.
