At their May meeting, the Construction Authority board of directors voted unanimously to award the construction manager contract for the 2.3-mile Pomona to Claremont A Line Extension to SSH Joint Venture (SSH), a team made up of Skanska USA Civil West California District Inc., Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. and Herzog Contracting Corp. The contract award came on the heels of a competitive procurement process that saw bids from four well-qualified teams. The construction manager contract is the second of two major contracts now awarded to deliver the Pomona to Claremont project using the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method adopted by the board for the project last year.
The contract award today includes the authorization for $6.3 million to be used for the initial 18-month preconstruction phase, during which SSH will be responsible for supporting the ongoing design efforts currently underway by Parsons Transportation Group, Inc. (Parsons), the team awarded the first contract for design and engineering services. SSH’s role during this initial phase will include providing constructability reviews, value engineering, third-party coordination and cost estimating, among other activities that will help inform the design. After the project design reaches approximately 85% completion, SSH will have the possibility of building the project if the team successfully negotiates a construction services contract with an acceptable price – anticipated in Fall 2027.
At their January meeting, the Construction Authority board of directors voted unanimously to award the design and engineering services contract for the Pomona to Claremont project (an extension of the Metro A Line light rail system) to the engineering firm of Parsons Transportation Group, Inc. (Parsons). This major milestone followed a competitive procurement process that saw bids from multiple teams.
The six-year, $60 million design and engineering services contract is the first of two major contracts to be awarded as part of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method that was adopted by the Construction Authority for the project last year. The contract will include designing all elements of the 2.3-mile light rail extension from its current design level of approximately 30% to “Approved for Construction” drawings, as well as supporting the project with any needed design services during construction.
