June 2018

REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – JUNE 2018

Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct interviews, project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The State of Good Repair backlog for the region currently stands at $19.4 billion, and the 10‐year capital need for normal reinvestment is $18.3 billion, which results in total 10‐year capital need of $37.7 billion. The 60 projects detailed in this report together represent $3,861,547,183 worth of construction, maintenance, and procurement. Many of these projects will address outstanding capital needs, while others are directed to compliance with federal requirements or enhancing customer experience, safety, and security. The majority of state funded projects are within budget, one project is under budget. 80% of the state funded projects are on schedule. Regarding change orders, some of the added budget came from decisions by the Service Boards to add value to projects or comply with federal requirements. Other change orders were mostly for unforeseen conditions, and a minimal amount was due to errors and omissions. There were also change orders that provided credit for value engineering and for unused allowance and deleted work. Although the progress being made on these projects is significant, current capital funding will not support much needed renewal of the region’s aging transit infrastructure. Deferring infrastructure maintenance and replacement has negative impacts on the quality of service provided, including deteriorating service reliability. RTA, in accordance with the Strategic Plan, is committed to seeking stable, long‐term capital funding solutions critical to renewing and maintaining the region’s transit system. RTA and the Service Boards must collectively work to educate the public on the region’s transit needs and advocate for funding. RTA recognizes the commitment, collaboration, cooperation, and level of effort each Service Board provided for the Report on Project Management Oversight to be a success. RTA is appreciative and pleased to note the exemplary and ongoing commitment of transit agency personnel during this process. RTA will continue to work with the CTA, Metra, and Pace to advocate for more capital funding at both the state and federal level to ensure our transit system continues to prioritize and work towards a State of Good Repair.

Rail Car Overhaul and Mid‐Life Rehabilitation

Description: A programmed rail car overhaul program will provide for renewal of truck, propulsion, and other subsystem equipment on rail cars in the 3200‐Series rail car fleets to maintain a state of good repair. CTA is also retrofitting the 3200 Series cars with new air conditioning units, auxiliary power supply, destination signs, LED lighting, and security cameras.

Status: The 3200 Series project covers 257 cars. The component rebuild, car overhaul work, and equipment installation is being done by CTA Skokie Shop staff. As for cars that have undergone the overhaul and returned to revenue service, 234 of the 257 were completed as of May 22, 2018. There has been an increase in the scope of repairs based on car condition observed during the program. CTA has begun to bring some cars back that have some work remaining. 80 cars still need to come back to have the air‐conditioning replaced and other work completed.





Schedule: The Yellow Line closure disrupted and delayed the project about 12 months. To mitigate this delay and maintain continuous employment of the staff assigned to this project, CTA assigned some staff to work in the maintenance shops to get an early start on some modifications. Reliability issues with some subsystems have impacted production but solutions have been developed and production has returned to the expected rate of 8 cars per month. However, the effect of delays has caused the completion date, based on this production rate, to be delayed.


First 3200‐Series Kits Received March 2015 March 2015 A

Complete 257 3200‐Series Cars July 2017 January 2019

Rail Car Overhaul and Mid‐Life Rehabilitation (continued)

Highlights:

In addition to the purchase of new rail cars, CTA has embarked on an aggressive rail car overhaul program to restore these cars to a state of good repair. Performing overhauls as scheduled reduces unscheduled maintenance, improves reliability, and preserves comfort and ride quality. Many underfloor components will not require overhaul for another 12 to 15 years. A Quality Assurance process is in place both at the Contractor and at CTA for this project. CTA’s innovative use of an outside contractor to provide kitted material has reduced the workload on CTA Procurement and Materials Management and has avoided mixing program material with CTA spare parts. All material was procured from CTA pre‐approved vendors. For the 3200 Series project, CTA is modernizing subsystems to increase reliability and security including:

Air Conditioning System o New Air Conditioning Unit o New AC Controller

Propulsion System o Rebuilt Cam Control Group o New Resistor Bank

Trucks o New Wheels o Rebuilt Motors, new Armatures

Interiors o New LED Lighting o End Door Floor Panels o New Ribbed Flooring

Doors o New Door Motors o New Door Hangers o New Thresholds

Cab o Rebuilt Master Controller o Rebuilt Hydraulic Pressure Control

Auxiliary Power Supply

Systems o Security Cameras o Programmable Message Signs o LED Side and End Signs o Digital Route Number Signs

CTA has found that they needed to increase the scope of the floor renewal and is renewing most of the ribbed flooring on the car in addition to floor panels near the end doors.

CTA needed to rebid the replacement air‐conditioning units and controls. Notice to proceed was given in September 2015. Prototype units were received in September 2016 and the first production units arrived in November 2016. The delay in receiving new air‐conditioning units has necessitated returning 100 cars to Skokie Shop to complete the installation of that system and its controls.

An issue discovered recently with deterioration of some undercar wiring has caused renewal of that wiring to be added to the scope of work and a modification to be made to the Auxiliary Power Supply.

The change order quantities and cost amounts represent the cumulative total for the 20 currently ongoing state‐funded projects. The total cost of change orders represents less than 1% of the overall total budget of the state funded projects. All change orders were executed within the project budgets. The change orders executed during this reporting period are described below. For the Wilson Transfer Station Project, three change orders under the construction services contract are in‐process due to changed conditions and multiple allowance adjustments. Work scope modifications were made to maintain the project schedule, customer safety and security and transit services as well as to realize actual work performed. These change orders capture utility work performed to complete construction stages. To manage and improve safety and security, cameras, platform gates, signage, emergency power and public address systems were installed. Also, credits were given for unused allowance to purchase revenue equipment and for deleted work. The revenue equipment was purchased directly by CTA. A change order was executed for the 95th Terminal Improvements Project. The construction services contract was adjusted to add value. Updates were for an enhanced building envelope system, traffic control, traffic signal & traction power infrastructure and foundation. The upgraded building envelope and traffic control & signal provide customer facing and transportation improvements. The traction power infrastructure and foundation upgrades resolved a field‐discovered conflict to maintain project progress and design intent. Rail Shop Washer Replacements Project change orders were executed for added value. The engineering services contract work scope was modified to add document preparation, survey and field investigations for yard track reconfiguration and update interior pit geometry, sequence of operations and washer controls. Improvements to the yard reduce construction costs, enhance washer maintenance access and improve safety. The washer element updates accommodate user group needs and provide a system‐wide compatible end product.
