Major Activities

Utility Design/Station Construction Third Party Coordination

Relocation and final design of utilities require close third party coordination between Metro, the utility companies, the City of Los Angeles, City of Beverly Hills and the contractors.

Advanced Utility Relocation

Relocated Utilities (Clear of Shoring Piles)

Wilshire/La Brea Station Shoring Piles (Typical)

To facilitate the construction of major critical path construction activities, three contracts are being initiated to relocate water, power and sewer lines in advance of awarding the Design/Build tunnels and stations contract. The contract for the Wilshire/La Brea advanced utility relocation work was awarded and will begin construction in July 2013. Invitation For Bids (IFB) for the remaining two Advance Utility Relocations Contracts for Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega are being solicited in June and July 2013.

Construction Relations & Third Party Coordination

Community meetings and internet project updates and construction notices will be provided by Metro Construction Relations Department. Early community outreach involving major stakeholders related to real estate activities began after the FTA issued a Record of Decision in August 2012. Early utility work involving the relocation of communication cables began in November 2012 at the Wilshire/La Brea station site. Plan reviews, permitting and other early construction activities to support the advance utility relocations in the City of Los Angeles and City of Beverly Hills are continuing. Continue third party coordination with City of Los Angeles and City of Beverly Hills to receive approvals to optimize work hours in an effort to reduce overall construction duration and impacts at station sites.
