PHASE 2

Expo Board Authorizes Final Negotiations for Phase 2

The Expo Line Board of Directors has authorized final negotiations for Preliminary Engineering (PE) Service Contracts for Expo Phase 2 with the two highest ranked firms—the URS and Shimmick Joint Venture, and the Skanska and Rados Joint Venture.

This action represents the first step toward hiring a design-build contractor to construct the long-awaited light rail extension to Santa Monica.  Upon completion of successful negotiations, PE contracts will be awarded to both firms and PE work will continue for six months.  In November 2010, the Authority will select one of these PE firms as the design-build contractor to complete the design work and construct this vital mass transit link, which is scheduled to be completed in 2015.
