The third and final design-build contract has been awarded for a major light rail extension project in California.
The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Authority has handed a $48.7 million contract to Webcor Builders for final design and construction of parking facilities for future stations along the Pasadena-Azusa line.
Habib Balian, chief executive of the construction authority, said: “As the last design – build contract for the overall project, we now know that we are able to deliver the 11.5 mile light rail extension on time and on budget.
“Following the evaluation process, they [Webcor] received similar high marks for their experience and technical proposal as their competition. However, their price was almost $8 million less. Bottom line, we were able to get an extremely qualified team for the best price.”
The first contract was awarded to Skanska USA for the Gold Line Bridge in June 2010.
Foothill Transit Constructors, a Kiewit Parsons joint venture, was awarded the $486 million alignment design-build contract in November 2011.
They have nearly completed design for the light rail project, cleared the right of way of old track and vegetation, and are under construction on numerous bridges, crossings and the first of six stations.
