LESSONS LEARNED

regional connectorOne of my achievements while at Metro that I believe has, and will continue to have, lasting benefit for wayside maintenance is the introduction of arc-flash protective measures, standards and procedures for Traction Power. Traction Power maintenance is a dangerous business. I introduced four critical measures during my tenure; arch-flash rated uniforms for TP workers; analysis and procedures to set arc-flash protective standards for common maintenance activities; mandating arc-flash proof Gas Insulated Switchgear for 34.5kV circuits; and requiring future rail projects to include arc-flash analysis in design.At the project delivery level, my work for WSP on the Regional Connector project has brought renewed focus on the integration and cutover of new construction to Metro’s existing rail system. My deep knowledge of Metro’s infrastructure has enabled me to assist Metro’s project team, and the contractor to fully prepare for integration and cutover through thorough pre-planning.

LESSONS LEARNED

Sydney Light RailThe following were key issues the project wanted to address:

� Unreliable journey times � A confusing bus network � Congestion that is reducing Sydney’s productivity and urban amenity

� Lack of capacity in the current transport system to support growth

Lessons Jeff Learned: � The scope and schedule of the early works must be established to allow plenty of time for the early work performed to be accurately reflected in the tender for the main works package

� Early engagement with and finalization of key third party agreements that affect the design and scope needs to be a priority

� Negotiating traffic management assumptions with the roads authority should begin as soon as possible

� This early engagement with the Roads Authority, specifically about the degree of traffic priority that the LRT’s can take advantage of, will ensure that accurate travel times, ridership and thus, fleet and depot sizes are planned for

� It will also ensure that the scope of the required traffic mitigation (including those improvements necessary for the bus network – both during construction and after operation of the LRT) is clearly understood and incorporated into the tender documents

� The investigation and relocation of utilities cannot begin soon enough . No single thing can de-risk the main contract more than assuring a clear understanding of the utilities along the alignment

LESSONS LEARNED

Utah Light RailIn the early days of the Utah Salt Lake light rail system, there was a major configuration change. To respond to that major configuration change, the vendor currently under contract requested a change of technology in exchange for the new configuration. This configuration would completely change the block layout of the train control system without additional cost. This alternative was to provide an encoded track circuit known as ElectroCode. This system was to be equipped with a device to allow it to work on electrified territory known as Electrified ElectroCode.We looked at what it would take to change the signaling and discussed options with the vendor. The client had one main stipulation: we had to prove this product in theory, demonstration, and operation. The first task was to review the actual schematic of the new device known as an EECode box. Satisfied of the theory, they performed the demonstration, and placed it in service. It worked flawlessly, and is continues to do so. Since that time, these devices have been used throughout the county. On December 4, 1999, the Salt Lake City Light Rail System went into service with the first Electrified Electro Code to be in service in the United States.The lesson is to address adversity and seek for solutions and alternatives. At the same time, be wary that the alternative meets the objective and needs of the system’s operations. The system has to meet the operational requirements, is maintainable with a high level of reliability, and above all provide a level of safety that exceeds the requirements of a public transportation system.

LESSONS LEARNED

Metro Purple Line Westside Extension 1, 2 and 3 (PLE)On the Metro PLE, radio system for each PLE Section 1, 2 and 3 had to be designed and built by multiple contractors. Each PLE section was required to provide radio coverage for their associated tunnel segments/Cross Passages and underground stations. Each PLE section could lose radio coverage due to Head-end (HE) equipment failure or above ground antenna structure damage or destroyed by vandalism or mother-nature or vehicle impact causing complete loss of all off-air HE channels. One of the solutions was redundant Head End configuration using Primary HE and Hot-standby (redundant) HE separately located within each PLE Section. Should the primary HE fail the Hot-Standby HE shall be activated and be failover-switched by ROC to provide radio coverage to underground stations and tunnel/Cross passages areas. The main disadvantage was the radio system cost would be more than double due to hot-standby HE equipment redundancy and RF/Fiber Converter and switching equipment redundancy at remote cross-passage locations to support fiber diversity operation. WSP proposed a more flexible and cost-effective alternative radio configuration for PLE Section 1, 2 and 3 as one unified Metro PLE project. Each PLE Radio system was designed to be equipped with redundant RF/Fiber converter and switching equipment to support fiber diversity at all remote locations and with stand-alone Head End Failover Switching System (HEFSS) to provide redundant Head End and fiber diversity and redundancy switching between PLE1 & 2 and between PLE 2 & 3 to provide each PLE radio system with redundant head end system protection.

LESSONS LEARNED

SAN FRANCISCO’S AND WATERLOO’S BRT RAIL CONVERSION STRATEGIESSan Francisco’s and Waterloo’s experiences in designing their BRT projects serve as illustrative examples of what cities must consider in designing a BRT running way to accommodate light rail transit (LRT) at some point in the future. San Francisco County’s Proposition K specifically envisioned that the city’s Geary Boulevard Corridor, one of the busiest corridors in the city, accommodate a “BRT service with exclusive lanes and dedicated stations…designed and built to rail-ready standards.” However, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority staff concluded that light rail was not financially possible within the provisions of the referendum’s 30-year Expenditure Plan and thus drafted the plan in a way that required all center-running BRT design alternatives to be “rail-ready”; that is, convertible at some indefinite point beyond that 30-year horizon. I was selected to lead a study that looked at several possible conversion scenarios. More recently, I was asked to examine how Waterloo Region in Ontario could most cost-effectively and efficiently achieve a similar conversion to light rail on a BRT project there that was to become Phase 2 of its Ion LRT Project. What I learned in both projects is that political timing and commitment are essential to success. While San Francisco had no definite date in mind for an LRT conversion, it could only commit to a BRT design that did not preclude future LRT, primarily because installation of the required LRT systems infrastructure – duct banks, manholes, catenary poles, substation foundations, etc. – were so costly as to impractically narrow the cost and implantation time advantages that the selected BRT alternative enjoyed over rail. Because the Waterloo project’s BRT segment had a political commitment to convert to LRT in the near future, the additional investments of systems infrastructure and LRT-type station designs made much more sense.

EXAMPLE WORKPLAN: EASTSIDE PHASE 2 EIR SUPPORT, ENGINEERING AND DB SOLICITATION


The following is a proposed workplan for the Eastside Phase 2 project. The workplan is developed to take the project from the Final EIS/EIR stage through completion of Engineering and into the commencement of DB solicitation. That is, through the first three phases of our Task Order Flow Matrix.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE EASTSIDE PHASE 2 PROJECT

Eastside Phase 2 is a continuation of Metro’s Gold Line Eastside Extension, a project that WSP led as Metro’s representative for Systems engineering and final design and construction oversight.

Metro completed the Draft EIS/EIR in August 2014, which recommended two light rail alternatives, the “SR-60 LRT Alternative” and the “Washington Boulevard LRT Alternative.” Both alternatives planned extensive use of aerial guideway, with the Washington Boulevard alternative having slightly more than 50% of the alignment as street-running along Washington Boulevard.

Subsequent to the DEIS/EIR, and culminating in a report to the Metro Board in May 2017, the project-recommended alignments have undergone further changes. While the SR60 alternative is largely unchanged, the Washington Boulevard alternative has undergone significant revision, resulting in a recommendation for a 3.2-mile tunnel, running south, then east, from near the existing Atlantic Station to Garfield and Washington. From there, onwards to Lambert, the alignment would be similar to the DEIS/EIR alternative.

A further alternative, mentioned in the Technical Study Report, and recommended by the Metro Board, would be to build both alternatives. This would, of course, lead to further changes to the SR60 alternative, which would transition from an aerial alignment to a tunnel alignment that connects to the Atlantic/Washington alignment below grade. See Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 1: Eastside Phase 2 Project

As these are significant changes to the DEIS/EIR recommendations, Metro is currently developing a revised or supplemental DEIS/EIR, before moving to a Final EIS/EIR.

From a Systems perspective, the project will need to continue use of Metro’s standard 100Hz-based cab signaling system. Traction Power and overhead contact system/overhead conductor rail (OCS/OCR) would continue in a similar vein, with the exception that the



configuration and capacity of the existing Atlantic Traction Power Substation (TPSS) will need further study. Communications systems can be expanded into the new alignment(s). However, a major Systems project element will be the interface to, and cutover into, the existing Gold Line Eastside Extension. This is especially the case for the potential underground connection under the Atlantic/Washington alternative (whether or not it is combined with the SR60 alternative).

KICK-OFF: SOLIDIFYING THE PROJECT TEAM

The first task, and one most important in making the project a success, is to meet with the project team to establish and solidify relationships, lines of communication and an understanding of the scopes of work (SOWs) of the various entities involved.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, will introduce our project team, including our corridor manager, Joe Bayat, and lay out our initial workplan. The kick-off meetings enable all project stakeholders to adapt our workplans to form an integrated and collaborative team for complete project delivery.

Specifically, we recognize that Metro has a separate solicitation for Preliminary Engineering and Design Services During Construction for Eastside Phase 2 (Facilities Engineer) and that this consultant will be the lead engineer for tunneling, alignment and trackwork, yard and shop, civil, architectural, station, and MEP. As such, we anticipate that the facilities engineer will be the lead engineer for the overall project and, together with the Metro project management team, will establish an Integrated Project Management Office (IPMO). We anticipate this will include the project document control and management systems, project procedures, CADD manual, QA/QC plan, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), etc.

Our aim is to fully integrate and immerse our Systems team into the overall Eastside Phase 2 project team.

PROJECT SETUP PHASE

This is the phase during which the project organization is established, and documents and plans are developed to define the project and project workflow. While we anticipate most of the work and deliverables to be led by the facilities engineer, our Systems team will provide critical input:

Project Management Plan: Led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team to describe the Systems Engineering team and scope and how SDP are integrated with and into the overall project team.

Master WBS and Schedule: This document will provide a WBS and comprehensive schedule for the project. We anticipate this will be led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team.

Document Control System and Procedures: The SDP team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.

QA/QC Program: The SDP team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.

Project Budget and Budget Breakdown: The SDP team will conform to this project-wide system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.

Project Implementation Plan (PIP): Led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team, this document will define how the project will be executed, controlled and monitored. It will also define how progress will be reported.

PROJECT DEFINITION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT PHASE

This is an early phase of the Engineering effort where the facilities engineer and Systems team, together, define the project, and review and develop critical project elements that may directly influence the overall project scope and configuration, and the environmental analysis.

Major Project Stakeholders: Metro Project Team, including Planning

and Project Delivery Environmental Consultant: CDM

Smith/AECOM Facilities Engineer: [TBD]



Review of FEIS and Conceptual Design and Costs

Together with the facilities engineer’s team, we will perform a comprehensive review of the FEIS, the associated reports, the Conceptual Engineering design, and the associated cost estimates.

Particular areas of focus for the SDP team will include:

1. Configuration of the Wye junction, if the “Combined” option is recommended

2. Conceptual-level cutover plans, especially if the Atlantic/Washington or “Combined” option is recommended

3. Identification of potential traction power substation locations

4. Identification of potential Train Control and Communications (TC&C) houses, both at stations and elsewhere

5. Identification and location of substations for underground stations, including Emergency Backup Power Supply (EBPS) generator

6. Location of radio antennae for tunnel segment 7. Location and type of crossovers 8. Yard location, layout and accommodation of required facilities 9. Description of planned operations, fleet size, and system security and safety provisions 10. Any environmental commitments affecting Systems, especially related to noise and aesthetics 11. Estimated cost of Systems elements

Establishing an Initial Basis of Design

Building upon the FEIS/EIR and the associated Conceptual Engineering, we will develop and submit for approval the Systems sections of initial Basis of Design report. This report, led by the facilities engineer, will establish the key facilities and systems parameters to guide the continuing design development. Each major system and subsystem will be defined in overall terms.

In addition to more generally establishing Systems Basis of Design parameters, there are some important Systems factors specific to the Eastside Phase 2 Project to be established, including:

Integration, cutover and phased construction into the existing Metro Gold Line*

Operation of the Wye junction between the Atlantic/Washington and SR60 branches*

Maintenance facility location, capacity and facilities.**

Key Systems Parameters to Confirm:

tunnel trainway feeder and EBPS; station power drops; yard and shop power

Overhead Catenary: Confirmation of standard OCS (at-grade) and OCR (tunnel)

Train Control: Confirming continuation of Metro’s standard LRT cab signal system; grade crossing requirements; street-running operational parameters (Washington option only); yard train control requirements.

Communications: Confirm standard Metro subsystems and configurations, including radio, CTS, CCTV, TPIS, F&EM, SCADA, SDS, GDS, IDS and ACS. Confirm maintenance facility requirements.



major operations and maintenance (O&M) resiliency risk. If the yard lead is taken out of service, either for maintenance or due to OCS, power, track or signal failure, the fleet could be either unable to return to the yard, or (worse) entirely trapped inside the yard.

Critical Early Environmental Input

There are certain systems design elements that have a major effect upon the project’s environmental impact and are critical early definition elements:

A. Integration, cutover and phased construction into the existing Metro Gold Line B. Operation of the Wye junction between the Atlantic/Washington and SR60 branches C. Conceptual traction power load-flow analysis D. Conceptual preliminary operations analysis/simulation E. Conceptual operations plan F. Yard capacity and requirements

INTEGRATION, CUTOVER AND PHASED CONSTRUCTION INTO THE EXISTING METRO GOLD LINE

The SR60-only option has a relatively straightforward connection to and interface with the existing Gold Line at the Atlantic tail tracks and can be more fully addressed during engineering. However, both the Atlantic/Washington and “Combined” options demand the demolition of the existing Atlantic Station, with the alignment “surfacing” just east of the existing East LA Civic Center (ELACC) station. The concept would, presumably, be to temporarily terminate service at the ELACC. Five key issues arise from this.

1.The nearest crossovers are at Ditman, more than 1½ miles away 2. Train control does not permit turnback of trains at ELACC 5. Communication We have measured the trip time and it is six minutes each way. It will not be possible for Metro to maintain current peak service levels from this crossover. Indeed, it is doubtful whether Metro will be able to maintain reliable 12-minute off-peak service levels.

Traffic locking operates between the existing Ditman and Atlantic interlockings. A train turning back from ELACC will operate against the traffic direction set on the rails, with the potential of trains being routed toward one another.

Ostensibly, the existing fiber optic ring can be terminated (looped back) at the ELACC station. However, this would leave the existing parking structure and Atlantic TPSS (if retained in operation to feed the parking structure) off-network.

SDP’s Solution: Include “Enabling Works” in the project to install a set of crossovers, complete with OCS and train control, immediately west of the ELACC station. This would enable Metro to maintain current service levels during reconstruction of the Atlantic Station area. Additionally, for the “Combined” option, this crossover could serve as one of the necessary failure-management crossovers for the Wye junction. Even for the Atlantic/Washington-only option, a crossover would be needed somewhere in this area to replace the existing Atlantic interlocking and comply with MRDC Section 10 single-tracking requirements. It should be noted that the plethora of vertical and horizontal curves between the Maravilla and ELACC stations provides no easy location for crossovers.

SDP’s Solution: By adding a new interlocking, traffic locking will operate between Ditman and Mednik interlockings. The remaining tracks through the ELACC platforms can have traffic turned by use of Train to Wayside Communication loops to be added in the ELACC platform area as part of the “Enabling Works”

SDP’s Solution: Implement a temporary (commercial) high-speed data network connection for communications and security needs.

3. Feeders from Atlantic TPSS will be removed 4. Provision of Tail Tracks Atlantic TPSS is located northeast of Atlantic station, adjacent to the parking structure. Its feeders are in the area to be demolished to accommodate the connection to the underground alignment.

It is likely that reconstruction will lead to the ELACC station being an “interim terminus” for a significant period. Therefore, Transportation will want to have some form of tail track provision.

SDP’s Solution: Maintain Atlantic TPSS in service as it provides power for the parking structure (unless demolition/abandonment of this structure is part of the project). Traction power to ELACC can be provided by the Arizona TPSS, with adequate resiliency and back-up available from the Sonol TPSS. Minor reconfiguration of transfer trip circuits would be needed.

SDP’s Solution: There is an existing OCS overlap straddling La Verne Avenue. Provided the civil/track reconstruction does not extend to La Verne Avenue, the existing overlap can provide more than 500 feet of tail track.

Exhibit 2 - Eastside Cutover Potential Enabling Works



OPERATION OF THE WYE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC/WASHINGTON AND SR60 BRANCHES

The 2017 Technical Study Report and associated Metro Board recommendation to analyze the “Combined” option of building both branches introduces the concept of an extensive full Wye junction to enable movements between all three lines (both branches and the core existing system). We would anticipate such an underground junction would approximately encompass the triangle bounded by Atlantic Boulevard, East 3rd Street and Repetto Avenue. Our understanding is that the concept behind this junction is to permit 5-minute peak train service on all three branches, building up from the following 10-minute service patterns:

10-minute service Downtown LA/Santa Monica to Peck Road (SR60 branch) 10-minute service Downtown LA/Santa Monica to Lambert (Atlantic/Washington branch) 10-minute service Peck Road to Lambert

While ostensibly, this would provide five-minute service without overloading the Regional Connector, five key operational and systems challenges arise from it:

1. Track Speeds 2. Failure Management 3. Fare Policy Alignment design is, of course, primarily in the purview of the facilities designer. However, as Systems designer, we have a duty to maximize alignment speed in coordination with available cab signal speed codes. Given the likely available space, curve and turnout speeds in the Wye are likely to be 10, 15 or 25 mph.

Switch and signal failure management provisions are essential for such a high-demand junction. Metro Rail Operations needs the means of mitigating equipment failure, as well as planned outage for maintenance.

Current Metro policy is that a patron changing trains to a different route is required to “tap” again at the transfer point (station). Since all three lines have two train routes operating over them, in principle, all stations are potential “transfer” points, and would require platform-located validators to enable patrons to “tap.”

SDP’s Solution: We believe that the Wye should be designed to accommodate at least lateral American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) #8 turnouts, providing a cab speed of 15 mph. #10 lateral turnouts may be possible at the western corner of the Wye, but are doubtful elsewhere. Movements through the tangent portion of turnouts should be maximized and made, where possible, compatible with 55 mph operation.

SDP’s Solution: We believe that the Wye should be constructed with crossovers on each of the three branches, located as close as practicable to the junction turnouts. For the existing Gold Line, we have already identified a need and potential location for crossovers immediately west of the ELACC station. Crossovers also should be accommodated in the other two branches.

SDP’s Solution: Early engagement with Metro’s Universal Fare System and Fare Enforcement personnel to determine a path forward.

4. Managing Train Movements There is an operational issue that may not be intuitively evident in the proposed operating schedule. Operationally, train movements through the Wye should be scheduled to avoid concurrent conflicting train movements. Additionally, train movements to and from the Wye should be scheduled to preserve 5-minute separation between trains on the same branch in the same direction. These needs are illustrated in Exhibit 3. First, focusing on the need to preserve five-minute train separation:

Train A is scheduled on the 10-minute clock: 0:10, 0:20, 0:30, etc. Therefore, Train C must be on the 5-minute clock: 0:15, 0:25, 0:35, etc., to operate between “A” trains Therefore, Train F must be on the 10-minute clock to operate between “C” trains Therefore, Train B must be on the 5-minute clock to operate between “F” trains Therefore, Train D must be on the 10-minute clock to operate between “B” trains Therefore, Train E must be on the 5-minute clock to operate between “D” trains

Therefore, there are, minimally, two simultaneous train movements: Trains A, D and F Trains B, C and E

Movements A, D and F are non-conflicting. Movements B, C and E are all conflicting movements, if tracks are not grade-separated one from another.

Exhibit 3 - Wye Junction Train Operations

TRAIN A

TRAIN B

TRAIN E

TRAIN F

TRAIN D



SDP’s Solution: We believe that serious consideration should be made of grade separation of the three track-track crossings. We believe this may be possible because each of the three branches of the Wye will be at different elevations: Existing Gold Line: At-grade Atlantic/Washington: Underground SR60: Aerial

For example, the Train C route could be depressed under the Train B and Train E routes. The Train E route could be elevated over the Train B route in the northeast corner of the Wye.

5. Traction Power Sectionalization

The traction power system should be sectionalized such that de-energization (whether intentional for maintenance, or unexpected, such as a breaker trip) makes minimal impacts on other train movements.

SDP’s Solution: Please refer to Exhibit 4. This sectionalization scheme ensures that any single-breaker trip would directly affect only one route and not the other two routes. Moreover, if the de-energization is not recoverable within a short time frame, single-tracking could be initiated to enable some level of service to the route that is affected (with lesser impact to the other two routes, depending upon exact crossover placement). It should be noted that Exhibit 4 demonstrates the most robust configuration. The configuration could be simplified by use of load-break switches, or even motorized disconnect switches (MDS). However, this would be at the “cost” of wider loss of power when DC feeder breakers trip and possible delay in partial restoration of power by operation of MDS and load-breaks.

Exhibit 4 - Wye Junction Power Sectionalization



Conceptual Traction Power Load-Flow Analysis:

Led by Kwaku Larbi, and using Mott MacDonald’s proprietary load-flow model, the load-flow will be run to confirm the TPSS locations and property takes already identified in the DEIR/S.

Conceptual Preliminary Operations Analysis/Simulation:

To confirm runtimes (critical to ridership analysis, as well as fleet size), crossover locations and terminal track arrangements (critical to ensuring sufficient tail track length to support design headways and the need to store revenue-ready trains.

Most importantly, the Wye junction needs to be simulated if the “Combined” option is pursued to verify that it will support on-time train performance and networking.

Simulation will be performed by WSP’s Operations Simulation group, using Berkeley Simulation Software’s Rail Traffic Controller (RTC) model.

Conceptual Operations Plan:

Building upon the operations simulation and the Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment, we will prepare and submit for approval a Conceptual Operations Plan to describe and prescribe the O&M plan and requirements for the Eastside Phase 2 system, addressing initial and full build-out requirements.

Yard Capacity and Requirements:

In conjunction with the facilities engineer, and using data from the Conceptual Operations Analysis, our project team will assist with defining the capacity and capabilities required of the maintenance facility for the initial and final build-outs (if not the same). Systems inputs at this stage include fleet size and consist needs (driving storage track configuration), traction power needs, and yard control requirements. Critically, the yard/mainline interface will be reviewed to ensure:

Transfer track/lead for trains awaiting permission to enter the main line

Ability of ROC to route trains clear of the main line prior to transfer to yard control Resiliency (no single points of failure of power or track that would trap the entire fleet in the yard).1

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THE FEIS/EIR

The SDP team will develop an Advanced-Conceptual- Engineering-level Systems design for the project. Items critical to the FEIS/EIR support will include:

Substation locations and footprints: To define property takes. Crossover locations and configuration: In conjunction with the facilities, to support noise and vibration analysis.

The need for sidings for bad-order train storage, short-lining and support of Maintenance-of-Way will also be discussed with Rail Operations.

Most recently, WSP developed the outline and scope of a Systemwide LRT O&M Plan resulting from the Regional Connector project, comprising the following 16 chapters:

Chapter 1 - System Description and Characteristics Chapter 2 - Operations Service Plan and Schedule Chapter 3 - Maintenance/Engineering Chapter 4 - Activation Plan (Start-Up and Testing) Chapter 5 - Start-Up Chapter 6 – Testing Chapter 7: Safety Testing Standards and Procedures Chapter 8: Operating Rules and Procedures Chapter 9: Training Chapter 10: Emergency Operations / Service and Schedule Recovery Procedures Chapter 11: Security Standards and Procedures Chapter 12: Fare Collection Plan Chapter 13: Business Management Plan Chapter 14: Operating and Maintenance Budgets Chapter 15: Staffing and Hiring Plan Chapter 16: Staff Support Functions

1Critical lesson learned for Metro from an OCS failure at Division 11 some years ago.



Review of Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment: Particularly for review of alignment and curve speeds, both to maximize train speed and to ensure that curve speeds conform with cab signal speeds.

Preliminary size and location of signal and communication houses, signal bungalows, crossing houses/cases and signal cases: To determine and support property takes.

Conceptual tunnel power system configuration: In support of substation requirements, including property takes. Identification of EBPS generator location(s) (assuming that the tunnel ground is determined to be gassy or potentially gassy).

Identification of radio antenna location(s): In support of property needs as well as potential visual impact.

Other environmental support efforts: Including defining the visual impact of substations, OCS and signal and communication houses as required, as well as the noise impact of air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Cost estimates: The SDP team will update the conceptual-level cost estimates for systems elements for the project in collaboration with the facilities engineer. Additionally, the SDP team will, in conjunction with Metro Rail Operations, develop a conceptual-level O&M budget.

OTHER TIME-CRITICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EFFORTS

While the following efforts have lesser impacts to the FEIS/EIR, we believe they should commence at this stage of project development:

Electric Utility Coordination: We will work with the facilities engineer and Metro staff to start the process of coordination with Southern California Edison (SCE), for utility feeds for stations, traction power substations and, critically, the tunnel segment. We believe the tunnel to be a critical component of this discussion because of the need for a trainway feeder and because of the likely high power capacity required.

Support Needs Outside of the Alignment: Metro is a mature transportation system and to that end, new rail projects can no longer be developed without any impact to the existing system. Building upon SDP’s intimate knowledge of Metro, we have identified some items for early analysis and decision-making, as these can have a significant impact upon the scope, progress, cost and schedule of the project:

Central Control: Where will Eastside Phase 2 be controlled from? Will the new ESOC be completed and if so will it be built with the facilities to support Eastside Phase 2? Critical ROC functions that need to be addressed include workstations for dispatchers and customer service staff, radio, SCADA, TPIS, CCTV, Fire Alarm Management System and NEXTRIP. Separately, and related to this, is the access control system at Gateway.

Carrier Transmission System (CTS): The existing Eastside CTS system uses a Fujitsu 4500 SONET system and does not conform with current Metro requirements. Also, the existing Eastside fiber comprises two 24-strand fiber cables, rather than the “standard” 144-fiber cables. Discuss whether Eastside Phase 2 CTS will be through-spliced to ROC/ESOC and whether the existing Eastside cables provide sufficient capacity.

While general bus-rail connectivity will be considered as part of the O&M plan, an additional consideration may be for bus layover facilities, especially at the terminal station(s).

SDP ENHANCEMENT - ENGAGING EARLY METRO O&M

Engaging Metro O&M in project development is critical to success. Key areas of engagement include:

• Establishing familiarity with the project • Discussing and reviewing the O&M plan and

operations simulation • Discussing and reviewing the alignment,

especially the Wye junction (if the “Combined” option is selected), crossovers, sidings, tail tracks, station configurations and grade crossing layouts.

• Discussing and reviewing the maintenance facility layout, capacity and capabilities

• Discussing the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the project.

• Discussing how Maintenance of Way and Facilities Maintenance would maintain the project.

• Reviewing needs for bus and rail operator layover facilities.

• Discussing the provisions for cutover of the existing Gold Line, and especially the potential demolition of Atlantic Station and associated alignment.

ENGINEERING PHASE

For the Engineering Phase of the project, much of the Systems Engineering work will progress in parallel. Our workplan, therefore, is formatted to discuss specific subject areas. The project schedule illustrates how the work is phased, chronologically.

Independent Systems Integration Review

There is one core goal that must and will be our continuous and continuing focus throughout our work: the successful placing of Eastside Phase 2 into revenue service.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, lived and breathed O&M at Metro for more than eight years. He has seen, and experienced, the consequences of both good and bad planning for revenue operation. Therefore, for every project, Michael will lead a small team of experienced and independent engineers to periodically review the project design and status and to check for compliance.

At a minimum, our Systems Integration Review team will review the project, including Facilities and MEP, at the following stages:

Completion of FEIS/EIR Review and Basis of Design Development 50% completion of design 95% Completion of design 75% Completion of DB Solicitation Development 95% Completion of DB Solicitation Development

Additionally, the Systems Integration Review team will be held on standby for independent troubleshooting at any time Metro requires it.

Systemwide Engineering Plans

Project System Safety and Security Program Plan (SSSecPP): Of course, Metro already has a corporate System Safety and Security Program Plan, compliant with 49 CFR 659 and CPUC General Order 164-D. However, led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SSSecPP, based upon Metro’s Corporate SSSecPP.

SDP’S INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS INTEGRATION REVIEW TEAM: • Michael Harris-Gifford: Ops, Maintenance• Mahesh Patel: Systems Integration• John Spellman: Train Control• Arvind Patel and Alan Murphy: Traction

Power and OCS• Phil Collins: Communications



This document will be developed at the start of the PE phase and will record the project organization and key deliverables for system safety and security. The project SSSecPP will be developed in coordination with, and subject to approval by, Metro Corporate Safety.

Systems Assurance Program Plan (SAPP): Another early deliverable, led by Lurae Stuart, will be the project SAPP. This document defines how Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAMS) will be incorporated into the project design and contract requirements. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team are best-placed to lead SAPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The SAPP will define the reliability and availability targets for key project elements, including:

Traction power and overhead catenary/OCR Train control and grade crossings Communications systems Station electrical systems Tunnel and station ventilation systems Maintenance facility functions Trackwork

Maintainability requirements will be defined for the same seven elements listed above. Critically, however, the SAPP will specifically demand analysis be conducted on how maintenance will be facilitated in context of 24-hour span of service and the impact of the CPUC’s restrictive Wayside Worker Protection regulations, as defined in General Order 175.

As well as defining how and when the DB contractor will conduct RAMS analyses, we will perform analyses upon our own design development at the 95% completion level of Engineering. We intend to request Metro Transportation and MOW staff engagement in this analysis. Michael Harris-Gifford will be a key SDP “independent” RAMS reviewer.

Threat and Vulnerability Analysis (TVA): We anticipate the project TVA will jointly be led by Metro’s Corporate Safety and System Security & Law Enforcement departments. The SDP team will provide support, alongside the Facilities Engineering team. Critical TVA input into the Systems design is security and access control systems, including CCTV, portal intrusion, access control system (card key), and general intrusion detection systems.

Safety Certification Program Plan (SCPP): Led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SCPP. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team are best-placed to lead SCPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

Complying with the SSSecPP and CPUC General Order 164-D, the SCPP will define the project safety certification process, organization, and roles and responsibilities from Preliminary Engineering, through to submittal of the final Safety Certification Verification Report to the CPUC no later than 21 calendar days prior to the planned start of revenue operations. Key deliverables for the safety certification process, defined in the SCPP include:

SCPP KEY FACTORS FOR SUCCESS: Clearly define the DB Contractor’s role,

responsibilities and deliverables Clearly define Metro’s role, responsibilities

and deliverables Define the Safety Certification Review

Committee Demand certification sign-off commence

upon IFC design and is tracked monthly thereafter

Safety Certifiable Items List (SCIL) Design Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-furnished safety items) Construction Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-furnished safety items) Integrated Testing Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-led testing) Training Certification Checklist (including vendor training and Metro internal training) Contractor Safety Certification Verification Report Metro Safety Certification Verification Report (SCVR, including certifications of readiness from Metro Transportation,

Security and Maintenance departments)

During the Engineering project phase, the SDP team will develop the SCIL. This is a list of project elements that are safety-critical and must be certified as safe as part of the SCVR.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA): Led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific PHA, complying with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) guidelines per DOT-FTA-MA-26-5005-00-01. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead PHA development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The PHA checklist will be organized by system and subsystem and initially be populated with the hazard descriptions, potential cause and effect. Gulzar’s team will work with the Project Engineering team to assess the failure rate and assign an initial hazard risk index. This will then be circulated for review and comment at about the 50% design completion level.

We will then update the matrix and review it with the Project Engineering team to populate the corrective action columns. We will pay particular attention to items that have a hazard classification of IA, IB, IC, IIA, IIB, IIIA, ID, IIC, IID, IIIB, or IIIC, as these are generally classified as unacceptable or undesirable. Our aim will be, where practicable, to mitigate hazards to the “acceptable” level.

Upon completion of populating the corrective actions and classification of as-mitigated hazards, the PHA will be recirculated for review and approval.

Interface Management Plan (IMP): We recommend that the SDP team lead development of the IMP, with input from the facilities engineer. This document will define how interfaces between project elements will be reviewed and tracked, including elements external to Metro, but related to the project.

We will also develop an initial interface matrix to define project element interfaces to the extent these are developed during Engineering.

Risk Management Plan: In common with past Metro projects, we anticipate that the risk management plan and risk matrix will be developed by Metro. The SDP project team, together with the Facilities Engineering team, will support development and population of the risk matrix.

Operations and Maintenance Plan

The SDP team will further define and refine the Eastside Phase 2 O&M Plan. Particular areas of focus will include:

Updated Operations Analysis/Simulation (using the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team) Connectivity/integration into existing operations Bus/LRT interface Service plan/pattern Headway (normal and single-tracking) Crossover and siding needs Fleet size Yard capacity, function and configuration Existing system interface and cutover



Traction Power Load-Flow Analysis and Simulation

We will update the parameters input to our traction power load-flow model, including the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team, and rerun the model to confirm substation locations and ratings. The model will also be used to confirm feeder cable and OCS ratings.

Data from the model will be used for the traction power system design and to further discussion with SCE for utility drops.

Systems Engineering

The SDP team will progress the Systems Engineering, including:

Project Basis of Design Report will be updated.

Traction Power Design: Substation capacity, size, locations and layout, tunnel trainway feeder configuration, and maintenance facility substation design.

Overhead Catenary Design and OCR Design, including system configuration and sectionalization.

Train Control Design, including a block and control line design, and route and aspect charts.

Grade Crossing Design. Our plan is to conduct field diagnostics with Metro Operations, Corporate Safety, the CPUC and the jurisdictional DOT, and to submit grade crossing applications toward the end of the Engineering period so that there is sufficient time for crossing approval by the CPUC prior to DB NTP.

Communication System Design, including CTS, CCTV, TPIS, SDS, GDS, SCADA, F&EM/Emergency Management Panels, telephone, IDS and ACS. Critically, we will determine what infrastructure needs to be completed to facilitate communications to ROC/ESOC.

Radio Design, including determination of radio antenna locations for the tunnel; verification of coverage for surface alignment from existing Metro hilltop sites; verification with Metro fire/life safety of what emergency responder channels are needed (primarily LASD and LACoFD, but possibly also including LA-RICS), and discussion with Metro Operations regarding what operating and maintenance channels are to be used.

Yard and Shop systems requirements (traction power, traction electrification, train control and communication).

Progress prints of the Systems Engineering will be produced at the 50% and 95% completion levels to facilitate comprehensive review by the Systems and Facilities engineers, Metro, and SDP’s independent Systems Integration Review team. We anticipate the systems design to lag four to six weeks behind the facilities design for us to properly incorporate the facilities design into systems.

Additionally, the SDP team will review MRDC, Fire/Life Safety Design Criteria and Standard Drawings at this time to confirm compliance, and where necessary, draft Design Deviation Requests or Requests for Special Consideration, as applicable, to secure approval of deviations.

LESSON LEARNED: Our experience with past Metro projects indicate the cost and schedule benefits of having completed grade crossing applications before DB solicitation. The consequences of not having approved crossing applications is that the project is not approved for construction. Indeed, negative review by the CPUC can result in prohibition to construct (with the related delays’ costs) and can even result in grade separation or road closure, triggering reopening of environmental documents.

SDP ENHANCEMENT: The project alignment is within striking distance of Metro’s Division 4 (1.5 miles). There is opportunity to tie in the Division to the project CTS system.



Other Project-Specific Issues

The long aerial structure paralleling the freeway for the SR60 option presents some issues with respect to wayside maintenance access, especially the crossovers.

The lack of allocation of property for the train control bungalows for the crossovers at Washington Boulevard and Keltonyview Drive, at Washington Boulevard and Danby Ave, and at Washington Boulevard and Crowndale Avenue are of concern.

OCS clearance under the I-605 is also of concern, especially with the vertical curve at the western end of the underpass. The tail tracks behind Lambert Road Station are only 223 feet, which is an issue as it is insufficient to either store, or turn

back a three-car train. The proposed maintenance yard near the UPRR is of concern as it appears to have only one yard lead track. This is a

significant single-point-of-failure risk for systems (track, OCS and train control) and requires further study. The same concern arises with the proposed yard next to Allport Avenue.

SOLUTION FOR SIGNIFICANT ISSUE: CUTOVER INTO THE EXISTING GOLD LINE

As indicated earlier, there are significant cutover issues to deal with, especially for any option including an Atlantic/Washington alignment. We will devise detailed cutover plans to convey how and when cutover and “Enabling Works” activities need to be promulgated by the DB contractor.

In addition to the major issues already discussed, there are other Systems Engineering cutover issues to deal with, including the existing train control system. This is based upon a GE/Harmon VHLC logic controller. This equipment is already sold only as a “legacy system” by Alstom (which procured the business from GE). It is not unlikely that by the time of systems construction, expansion of the VHLC controller may be difficult to acquire. We will need assess whether to replace it as part of the project.

Also, the existing CTS backbone is based upon Fujitsu 4500 SONET. While still supported, Metro has already transitioned over to a Fujitsu 9500 Native Ethernet topology. It is likely, therefore, that Eastside Phase 2 will need a CTS topology separate from the existing Eastside, but using existing dark fibers (of which, there are sufficient spares). However, there is constraint in fiber availability between Division 20 (to which Eastside is being re-routed under the Regional Connector project) and the 7th and Metro station (from where fiber runs to ROC). This may change, however, with introduction of the new ESOC in the downtown area near Division 20.



ENGAGING OTHER METRO DIVISIONS Engaging other Metro divisions in this process is critical to ensure we account for their needs, as well as facilitating buy-in for the overall process. At the Engineering stage, we need to engage Operations and Maintenance as well as Fire/Life Safety.

O&M

Discuss and review the updated O&M plan and operations simulation

Discuss and review cutover plans and requirements.

Discuss and review the main line systems design, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.

Discuss and review the maintenance facility systems design, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.

Discuss and review to provision and assignment of operating and maintenance radio channels

Discuss the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the Project and any other Metro-furnished facilities.

Fire/Life Safety

The SDP team believes that engaging Metro Fire/Life safety at the Engineering Phase is an important factor in securing successful certification of the Project and approval of an Occupancy Permit. Our focus for engagement will be as follows:

Discuss and review the system assurance and safety certification requirements.

Discuss and review system fire/life safety and security provisions, especially surveillance, Blue Light Station, Fire Detection, Emergency Management, and access control provisions.

Civil Design Support and Coordination

The SDP team will perform critical review of the civil design (as well as providing opportunity for the Civil Design team to review the Systems design). Particular areas of focus for the SDP team will include:

Civil speed restrictions and compatibility with available cab signal codes Finalization of crossovers and sidings Property for substations and signal houses Ductbank and raceway provisions OCS foundations Grade crossing layouts Provisions for signal and communication rooms Provisions for bus/train layover Tunnel ventilation design Yard and shop layout and configuration TC&C room layout, and heat and power load estimates.

Cost Estimate

The SDP team will develop cost estimates for the systems portions of the project and fold them into the overall cost estimate, led by the Facilities Engineering team. The breakdown of cost elements will conform to the project WBS.

DESIGN/BUILD SOLICITATION DEVELOPMENT PHASE

The following work plan is presented on the assumption that the Eastside Phase 2 project is solicited as a single DB project. We recognize, of course, that there a number of different ways forward for solicitation, including splitting the project into several solicitations (i.e. main line, tunnels, maintenance facility, and systems), or into different types of solicitation from Build-Build to P3. Whatever configuration of solicitation Metro ultimately selects, the SDP team is ready and able to serve.

We have also assumed that the Task Order extends only into assembly of solicitation documents and not into solicitation support.

Solicitation Outline

We foresee this being led primarily by Metro, with input from the Project Engineering team.

Metro and the Foothill and Expo construction authorities have used a variety of DB solicitation formats with varying degrees of success. We strongly encourage Metro to carefully review past solicitations, the lessons learned from their relative successes, and the applicability of these solicitations to the project.

We further suggest that a small team of senior WSP, Mott MacDonald and PTG personnel, experienced in Metro DB solicitation, be engaged in this outline review and development phase to maximize the probability of success.

Design/Build Solicitation Development

We believe Metro needs to consider carefully the right balance of prescriptive and performance-based requirements for systems. In this respect, we present the following recommendations and work plan:

Scope of Work (SOW): Specific, detailed and mandatory. This document must comprehensively specify what the Contractor must do and when. To the degree it is important to Metro or third parties, the SOW must also specify how the Contractor is to perform certain tasks. Critical to this is the description of the scope, sequence and restrictions upon demolition of existing operating facilities and for cutover of the project into the existing Gold Line.

This section must be a fully integrated and seamless document covering all aspects of the project. This makes it essential that the Facilities and Systems engineers work directly with each other during development.

This section also should discuss, in detail, any Metro-furnished items and activities.



Division 01 Specifications: While largely derived from Metro standard specifications, each must be thoroughly reviewed to ensure it is tailored to the project, complies with current regulations and standards, and correctly reflects Metro’s current requirements.

Specifically, in the “Constructability, Durability, And Maintainability In Design” section of our proposal, we have indicated some ways in which solicitation documents, especially those in Division 01, can be further improved.

We anticipate development of Division 01 specifications to be a collaborative effort of the combined project team. Specification sections that we anticipate the SDP team to lead include:

Design/Build Solicitation Assembly

A DB solicitation for a project such as the Eastside Phase 2 project contains a large volume of documents, both contractual and reference. The SDP team anticipates significant effort, as part of the entire project team, to assemble documents, ensure they are the most current, and to review their proper placement within the overall solicitation.

Deliverables

Assistance with developing solicitation outline SOW and specifications as indicated above Assistance with final assembly of solicitation documents

ENGAGING METRO OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Continuing our engagement of Metro Rail Operations and Maintenance, our focus during the DB Solicitation Development Phase will be as follows:

Discuss and review the systems contract documents, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.

Discuss and review cutover plans and requirements.

Discuss and review the systems assurance requirements.

Discuss and review the systems testing and rail activation requirements and schedule, including the provision of rolling stock and other items of Metro support.

Discuss and review the safety certification requirements.

Draft Task Order Proposal 2: Sepulveda HRT



Task Order 002:

Sepulveda HRT EIR Support, Engineering and P3 Solicitation

TASK ORDER PROPOSAL

Version No.: Draft

Date: 01.05.18

EXAMPLE WORKPLAN: SEPULVEDA HRT EIR SUPPORT, ENGINEERING AND P3 SOLICITATION


The following is a proposed workplan for the Sepulveda Heavy Rail Transit (HRT) project. The workplan is developed to take the project from the Final EIR/EIS stage through completion of Engineering and into the commencement of P3 solicitation. That is, through the first three phases of our Task Order Flow Matrix.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE SEPULVEDA PROJECT

The Sepulveda HRT project is currently undergoing environmental development, with the likely outcome as a heavy rail subway system similar to Metro’s Red and Purple lines. Currently, the project development is for an independent rail line with no direct physical (i.e., track) connection to the Metro rail system. Therefore, the project will ne to be entirely self-sustaining (other than possibly central control) in terms of O&M facilities.

We are very much aware that Metro has already received proposals to execute this project as a P3 solicitation, and is, therefore, not subject to the same fiscal and design constraints as other Measure M projects. This has the benefit of enabling accelerated execution. However, there are some upfront challenges in terms of defining the project with respect to what continuing operational, maintenance and oversight role Metro will have once the line enters revenue service. A related question is to what degree should the project’s design and construction follow Metro practice, of whether this should be partially or wholly left to the Contractor/Concessionaire’s discretion.


The first task, and one most important to making the project a success, is to meet with the project team to establish and solidify relationships, lines of communication, and an understanding of the scopes of work (SOWs) of the various entities involved.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, will introduce our project team, including Guido Eyzaguirre, our corridor manager. and lay out our initial workplan. The kick-off meetings will enable all project stakeholders to adapt our workplans to form an integrated and collaborative team for complete project delivery.

Specifically, we recognize that Metro has identified this project as a candidate P3 solicitation and that key decisions need to be made as to key features of the P3 contract, including:

Compatibility with existing Metro red line systems

Conformity with Metro Operating and Maintenance practices and rules

Compliance with Metro Rail Design Criteria (MRDC)

Performance requirements for revenue service (peak and off-peak)

Performance requirements for maintenance and overhaul

Entity that controls the railroad. Metro or the Contractor

Entity that provides security

Rights and responsibility for Metro oversight, including safety and audit

Relationship of Contractor with the CPUC

Degree of prescriptive technical requirements (in comparison with DB)

We presume that Metro will, separately, contract for Preliminary Engineering and Design Services During Construction for the lead engineer for tunneling, alignment and trackwork, yard and shop, civil, architectural, station and MEP. As such, we anticipate that the facilities engineer will be the lead engineer for the overall project and, together with the Metro project management team, will establish an Integrated Project Management Office (IPMO). We anticipate this will include the project document control and management systems, project procedures, CADD manual, QA/QC plan, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), etc.

Our aim is to fully integrate and immerse our Systems team into the overall Sepulveda HRT project team.

MAJOR PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS:

Metro Project team, including Planning and Project Delivery

Environmental Consultant: HNTB Facilities Engineer: [TBD]



PROJECT SETUP PHASE


Project Management Plan: Led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team to describe the systems engineering team and scope, and how the SDP team is integrated with and into the overall project team.

Master WBS and Schedule: This document will provide a WBS and comprehensive schedule for the project. We anticipate this will be led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team


QA/QC program: The SDP team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.




This is an early phase of the Engineering effort where the facilities engineer and Systems team, together, define the project, and review and develop critical project elements that may directly influence the overall project scope and configuration and the environmental analysis.




Confirmation of potential traction power substation locations and configuration of the trainway feeder, including Emergency Backup Power Supply (EBPS) generator

Location of radio antennae

Location and type of crossovers

Provision of tail tracks

Yard location, layout and accommodation of required facilities

Description of planned operations, fleet size, and system security and safety provisions Estimated cost of systems elements

Establishing an Initial Basis of Design

Building upon the FEIS/EIR and the associated Conceptual Engineering, we will develop and submit for approval the Systems sections of initial Basis of Design report. This report, led by the facilities engineer, will establish the key facilities and systems parameters to guide the continuing design development. Each major system and subsystem will be defined in overall terms.



In addition to the more general establishment of systems Basis of Design parameters, there are some important systems factors specific to the Sepulveda HRT project to be established, including:

Integration and connectivity with the Metro system (now and in the future).

Maintenance facility location, capacity and facilities.


Critical Early Environmental Input

There are certain Systems design elements that have a major effect upon the project’s environmental impact and are critical early definition elements:

Conceptual Traction Power Load-Flow Analysis: Led by Stoil Stoilov, and using WSP’s proprietary load-flow model, the load-flow will be run to confirm the traction power substation locations and property takes already identified in the DEIR/EIS.

Conceptual Preliminary Operations Analysis/Simulation: To confirm runtimes (critical to ridership analysis, as well as fleet size), crossover locations (critically, several appear to be missing from the DEIR/EIS alignment, and thus, their noise and vibration impacts and property takes for signal bungalows are not analyzed) and terminal track arrangements (critical to ensuring sufficient tail track length to support design headways and the need to store revenue-ready trains).


Conceptual Operations Plan: Building upon the operations simulation and the Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment, we will prepare and submit for approval a Conceptual Operations Plan to describe and prescribe the operations and maintenance plan and requirements for the Sepulveda system, addressing initial and full build-out requirements. In particular, this is needed to determine what performance metrics to impose upon the P3 franchisee.

Yard Capacity and Requirements: In conjunction with the facilities engineer, and using data from the Conceptual Operations Analysis, our project team will assist with defining the capacity and capabilities required of the maintenance facility for the initial and final build-outs (if not the same). Systems inputs at this stage include fleet size and consist needs (driving storage track configuration), traction power needs, and yard control requirements. Critically, the yard/mainline interface will be reviewed to ensure:


Ability of ROC to route trains clear of the main line prior to transfer to yard control

KEY SYSTEMS PARAMETERS TO CONFIRM: The primacy and relevancy of MRDC System Operational requirements (if not per MRDC Section 10). Traction Power: Confirmation of standard Metro TPSS configuration;


Third Rail: Confirmation of standard configuration and requirements Train Control: Key operational decision of what form of ATP system to

deploy and whether platform screen doors will be utilized. This will set the compatibility of Sepulveda with the red line; yard train control requirements.






Systems Engineering Efforts to Support the FEIS/EIR

The SDP team will develop an Advanced-Conceptual-Engineering-level Systems design for the project. Items critical to the FEIS/EIR support will include:

Crossover locations and configuration: In conjunction with the facilities engineer.


Conceptual tunnel power system configuration: In support of substation requirements. Identification of EBPS generator location (assuming that the tunnel ground is determined to be gassy or potentially gassy).


Cost estimates: The SDP team will update the conceptual-level cost estimates for systems elements for the project in collaboration with the facilities engineer.

Engaging Metro Operations and Maintenance

While Metro may not be the operator/maintainer under a P3 project, the Operations department still has an interest in the project in terms of supporting the region’s transportation needs, and in terms of securing a usable product when the franchise ends and a valuable resource in verifying the project, as specified, is safe, operable and maintainable.

Our focus for Metro Operations during the Project Definition and Environmental Support Phase will be as follows:

Establish familiarity with the project

Discuss and review the O&M plan and operations simulation

Discuss and review the alignment, especially crossovers, tail tracks, and station configurations.

Discuss and review the maintenance facility layout, capacity and capabilities

Discuss the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the project (if Metro is to dispatch the railroad).

Review needs for bus and rail operator layover facilities.

Other Time-Critical Systems Engineering Efforts

While the following efforts have lesser impacts on the FEIS/EIR, we believe they should commence at this stage:

Electric Utility Coordination: We will work with the facilities engineer and Metro staff to start the process of coordination with LADWP for utility feeds for stations and traction power substations. We believe the tunnel to be a critical component of this discussion because of the need for a trainway feeder and because of the likely high power capacity required.

Support Needs Outside of the Alignment: Metro is a mature transportation system, and to that end, new rail projects can no longer be developed without any impact to the existing system. Building upon SDP’s intimate knowledge of Metro, we have identified some items for early analysis and decision- making as these can have a significant impact upon to scope, progress, cost and schedule of the project:

1. Central Control: Where will the Sepulveda project be controlled from? Critical ROC functions that need to be addressed include workstations for dispatchers and customer service staff, radio, SCADA, TPIS, CCTV, FAMS and NEXTRIP. Separately, and related to this is the access control system at Gateway.

2. While general bus-rail connectivity will be considered as part of the O&M plan, an additional consideration may be for bus layover facilities, especially at the Sylmar terminal station.

ENGINEERING PHASE



There is a core goal that must and will be our continuous and continuing focus throughout our work: the successful placing of the Sepulveda HRT project into revenue service.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, lived and breathed operations and maintenance at Metro for more than eight years. He has seen, and experienced, the consequences of both good and bad planning for revenue operation. Therefore, for every project, Michael will lead a small team of experienced and independent engineers to periodically review the project design and status, to ask the following six key questions and to check for compliance.

Our Systems Integration Review team will review the project, including facilities and MEP at minimum, at the following stages:

Completion of FEIS/EIR Review and Basis of Design Development

50% completion of design

95% Completion of design/75% Completion of P3 Solicitation Development 95% Completion of P3 Solicitation Development

Additionally, the Systems Integration Review team will be held on standby for independent troubleshooting at any time Metro requires it.


Project System Safety and Security Program Plan (SSSecPP): Metro already has a corporate SSSecPP that is compliant with 49 CFR 659 and CPUC General Order 164-D. However, led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SSSecPP, based upon Metro’s Corporate SSSecPP.

SDP’S INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS INTEGRATION REVIEW TEAM:

Michael Harris-Gifford: Ops, Maintenance

Mahesh Patel: Systems Integration John Spellman: Train Control Arvind Patel: Traction Power and

Third Rail Phil Collins: Communications



This document will be developed at the start of the Preliminary Engineering phase and will record the project organization and key deliverables for system safety and security. The project SSSecPP will be developed in coordination with, and subject to approval by, Metro Corporate Safety.

Threat and Vulnerability Analysis (TVA): We anticipate the project TVA will jointly be led by Metro’s Corporate Safety and System Security and Law Enforcement departments. The SDP team will provide support, alongside the Facilities Engineering team. Critical TVA input into the Systems design is security and access control systems, including CCTV, portal intrusion, access control system (card key) and general intrusion detection systems.

Safety Certification Program Plan (SCPP): Led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SCPP. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead SCPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

Complying with the SSSecPP and CPUC General Order 164-D, the SCPP will define the project safety certification process, organization, and roles and responsibilities from Preliminary Engineering through to submittal of the final Safety Certification Verification Report (SCVR) to the CPUC no later than 21 calendar days prior to the planned start of revenue operations. Key deliverables for the safety certification process, defined in the SCPP include:

Safety Certifiable Items List (SCIL)

Design Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-furnished safety items)

Construction Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-furnished safety items)

Integrated Testing Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-led testing)

Training Certification Checklist SCVR

During the Engineering Phase, the SDP team will develop the SCIL. This is a list of project elements that are safety-critical and must be certified as safe as part of the SCVR.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA): Led by Gulzar Ahmed, the SDP team will develop a project-specific PHA, complying with FTA guidelines per DOT-FTA-MA-26-5005-00-01. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead PHA development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The PHA checklist will be organized by system and subsystem, and will initially be populated with the hazard descriptions, potential cause and effect. Ahmed’s team will work with the Project Engineering team to assess the failure rate and assign an initial hazard risk index. This will then be circulated for review and comment at about the 50% design completion level.






Risk Management Plan: In common with past Metro projects, we anticipate that the risk management plan and risk matrix will be developed by Metro. The SDP team, together with the Facilities Engineering team, will support development and population of the risk matrix.


The SDP team will further define and refine the Sepulveda O&M Plan. Particular areas of focus will include:

Updated Operations Analysis/Simulation (using the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team)

Connectivity/integration into existing operations

Bus/rail interface

Service plan/pattern

Headway (normal and single-tracking)

Crossover and siding needs

Fleet size

Yard capacity, function and configuration

Existing system interface and cutover While not directly a part of the Systems Engineering scope, we will work with Metro’s Vehicle Acquisition team to define the requirements and interfaces for the heavy rail vehicles (HRVs) to support this project. Critically, we need to identify where and when these vehicles would be delivered and commissioned.


We will update the parameters input to our traction power load-flow model, including the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team, and rerun the model to confirm substation locations and ratings. The model will also be used to confirm feeder cable ratings.

Data from the model will be used for the traction power system design and to further discussion with LADWP for utility drops.

Systems Engineering

The SDP team will progress the Systems Engineering to the Engineering-design level, including:



Conductor Rail Design, including system configuration and sectionalization.


Communication System Design, including CTS, CCTV, TPIS, SDS, GDS, SCADA, F&EM/EMPs, telephone, IDS and ACS. Critically, we will determine what infrastructure needs to be completed to facilitate communications to central control.

Radio Design, including: determination of radio antenna locations for the tunnel; verification of coverage for surface alignment from existing Metro hilltop sites; verification with Metro fire/life safety of what emergency responder channels are needed (primarily LASD, LAPD and LACoFD, but possibly also including LA-RICS); and

WSP’s Michael Harris-Gifford identified and championed the early completion of facilities on the Foothill Phase 2A project for the receipt and testing of P3010 LRVs. This enabled Metro to receive and commission sufficient LRVs for on-time opening of Foothill and Expo Phase II within a few months of each other. It also saved Metro time and money by avoiding potential disruption of ongoing revenue O&M.

SDP UNDERSTANDING: The project alignment provides additional potential CTS routes for the existing Orange Line and for the East San Fernando Valley LRT project.



discussion with Metro Operations regarding what operating and maintenance channels are to be used (poss ibly including the acquisition of new frequencies for Sepulveda).

Yard and Shop Systems Requirements (traction power, traction electrification, train control and communication).

Progress prints of the Systems Engineering will be produced at the 95% completion level to facilitate comprehensive review by the Systems and Facilities engineers, Metro, and SDP’s independent Systems Integration Review team. We anticipate the systems design to lag three to four weeks behind the facilities design for us to properly incorporate the facilities design into systems.

Additionally, the SDP team will review MRDC, Fire/Life Safety Design Criteria and Standard Drawings at this time to confirm compliance, and, where necessary, draft Design Deviation Requests or Requests for Special Consideration, as applicable, to secure approval of deviations.


Continuing our engagement of Metro Rail Operations and Maintenance, our focus during the Engineering Phase will be as follows:


Discuss and review the main line systems design, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.



Engaging Metro Fire/Life Safety

The SDP team believes that engaging Metro Fire/Life Safety at the Engineering Phase is an important factor in securing successful certification of the project and approval of an occupancy permit. Our focus for engagement will be as follows:


Discuss and review system fire/life safety and security provisions, especially surveillance, Blue Light Station, fire detection, emergency management, and access control provisions.



Civil speed restrictions and compatibility with available cab signal codes

Finalization of crossovers and sidings

Ductbank and raceway provisions

Provisions for signal and communication rooms

Provisions for bus/train layover

Tunnel ventilation design

Yard and shop layout and configuration

TC&C room layout, and heat and power load estimates.

Cost Estimate

The SDP team will develop cost estimates for the systems portions of the project and fold them into the overall cost estimate, led by the Facilities Engineering team.

The breakdown of cost elements will conform to the project WBS.

P3 SOLICITATION DEVELOPMENT PHASE

The following workplan is presented on the assumption that the Sepulveda HRT project is solicited as a single P3 project. We recognize, of course, that there a number of different ways forward for solicitation, including splitting the project into several solicitations (i.e. mainline, tunnels, maintenance facility, and systems), or into different types of solicitation from Build-Build to P3. Whatever configuration of solicitation Metro ultimately selects, the SDP team is ready and able to serve.



We foresee this being led primarily by Metro, with input from the Project Engineering team. We suggest that a small team of senior WSP, Mott MacDonald and PTG personnel, experienced in Metro solicitation, be engaged in this outline review and development phase to maximize the probability of success.

Draft Task Order Proposal 3: East San Fernando Valley LRT



Task Order 003:

East San Fernando

Valley LRT EIR Support, Engineering and DB Solicitation

TASK ORDER PROPOSAL

Version No.: Draft

Date: 01.05.18

EXAMPLE WORKPLAN: EAST SAN FERNANDO VALLEY LRT EIR SUPPORT, ENGINEERING AND DB SOLICITATION


The following is a proposed workplan for the East San Fernando Valley LRT (ESFVLRT) project. The workplan is developed to take the project from the Final EIR/EIS stage through completion of Engineering and into the commencement of design/built solicitation. That is, through the first three phases of our Task Order Flow Matrix.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE ESFVLRT PROJECT

The ESFVLRT project is planned to be a conventional high-level light rail project. The line begins at the Orange Line Van Nuys Station and continues north along the median of Van Nuys Boulevard in street-running operation. The southern terminal of the alignment offers potential for integration with the Orange Line, including possible conversion to light rail, and thus, combined operation. There may also be some interface with the northern terminal of the Sepulveda Line (likely heavy rail tunnel). See Exhibit 1.

Although there has been some analysis of tunnel operation between Sherman Way and Woodman, this configuration is somewhat in doubt due to the need for cost containment. Nevertheless, our approach is to provide staff experienced with Systems design for tunnels in case this option is retained.

North and east of Woodman, the project continues as street-running in the median of Vay Nuys to the Pacoima Station. Thereafter, the alignment transfers to the eastern side of San Fernando Boulevard onto the existing SCRRA Antelope Valley line ROW. The project shares the Metrolink ROW to the northern terminus at Sylmar. The project will operate under Automatic Train Protection (ATP) along the SCRRA ROW.

A number of prospective yard and shop sights have been studied. Currently, the project team appears to be favoring a site west and south of the planned Keswick Station.

Other than a potential link to a converted Orange Line, the project offers no physical connection to any other Metro rail line, and thus, must be entirely self-sustaining, other than central control. Even so, we anticipate the project will be designed for Metro standard light rail rolling stock (to provide maximum flexibility to Metro rail fleet). As there is currently no discussion of P3 operation, it is assumed that the project will remain core to Metro Operations and Maintenance functions.

Systems elements are anticipated to generally follow Metro standard practice.



Exhibit 1 – ESFVLRT and Potential Connections




The first task, and one most important to making the project a success, is to meet with the project team to establish and solidify relationships, lines of communication, and an understanding of the scopes of work (SOWs) of the various entities involved.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, will introduce our project team, including our proposed corridor manager, Abbas Sizar, and lay out our initial workplan. The kick-off meetings will enable all project stakeholders to adapt our workplans to form an integrated and collaborative team for complete project delivery.

Specifically, we recognize that Metro has a separate solicitation for Preliminary Engineering and Design Services During Construction for East San Fernando Valley Transit, and that this consultant will be the lead engineer for tunneling, alignment and trackwork, yard and shop, civil, architectural, station, and MEP. As such, we anticipate that the facilities engineer will be the lead engineer for the overall project and, together with the Metro project management team, will establish an Integrated Project Management Office (IPMO). We anticipate this will include the project document control and management systems, project procedures, CADD manual, QA/QC plan, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), etc.

Our aim is to fully integrate and immerse our Systems team into the overall ESFVLRT project team.

PROJECT SETUP PHASE


Project Management Plan: Led by the facilities, with input from our Systems team to describe the systems engineering team and scope and how we are integrated with and into the overall project team.



QA/QC program: The SDP team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.




This is an early phase of the Engineering effort where the facilities engineer and Systems team, together, define the project, and review and develop critical project elements that may directly influence the overall project scope and configuration, and the environmental analysis.

MAJOR PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS: Metro Project team, including Planning

(Walt Davis) and Project Delivery Environmental Consultant: [KOA] Facilities Engineer: [TBD]



REVIEW OF FEIS AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND COSTS



Confirmation of potential traction power substation locations

Identification of potential Train Control and Communications (TC&C) houses, both at stations and elsewhere

Identification and location of substations for underground stations, including Emergency Backup Power Supply (EBPS) generator (if a tunnel alignment is retained)

Location of radio antennae for tunnel segment Location and type of crossovers Accommodation of shared ROW with SCRRA from

Pacoima to Sylmar, including double-tracking plans Configuration of shared grade crossings with SCRRA Yard location, layout and accommodation of required

facilities Integration of ESFV line with Metro Orange Line and with SCRRA at Sylmar Description of planned operations, fleet size, and system security and safety provisions Any environmental commitments affecting Systems, especially related to noise and aesthetics Estimated cost of systems elements

ESTABLISHING AN INITIAL BASIS OF DESIGN

Building upon the FEIS/EIR and the associated Conceptual Engineering, we will develop and submit for approval the systems sections of initial Basis of Design report. This report, led by the facilities engineer, will establish the key facilities and systems parameters to guide the continuing design development. Each major system and subsystem will be defined in overall terms.

In addition to more generally establishing Systems Basis of Design parameters, there are some important systems factors specific to the ESFVLRT Project to be established, including:

Integration and connectivity with the Metro system (now and in the future), including possible conversion of the Metro Orange Line to Light Rail Transit (LRT).

Maintenance facility location, capacity and facilities (including consideration of possible joint facility with Metro Orange Line LRT).

Coordination with Metro Regional Rail/SCRRA regarding potential double-tracking, track circuit immunity, and joint grade crossing design.


Key Systems Parameters to Confirm: The primacy and relevancy of MRDC System Operational requirements (if not per MRDC Section 10). Traction Power: Confirmation of standard Metro TPSS

configuration; tunnel trainway feeder and EBPS; station power drops; yard and shop power


Train Control: Key operational decision of what form of ATP system to deploy. This will set the compatibility of ESFVLRT with other lines, such as Metro Orange Line (if converted to LRT); shared SCRRA/ESFVLRT grade crossings; speed running operational parameters; yard train control requirements.


We have reviewed the Draft EIS/EIR (DEIS/EIR) and have particular areas of concern: The shared corridor does not appear to comply with SCRRA

clearance requirements The four-track at-grade crossings are under considerable risk

of non-cooperation from SCRRA and disapproval by the CPUC, especially given that Foothill Phase 2B is headed for mainly (if not all) grade-separated

Crossover placement does not appear to comply with MRDC Section 10

Lack of tail tracks at Sylmar and omission of SCRRA expectations for future 2 platforms

Safety of patrons transferring between the Metro Orange Line and ESFVLRT

Lack of property for TC&C rooms or crossing bungalows Significant fire/life safety challenges associated with an

underground junction for the Keswick Yard option (if tunnel operation is retained)



CRITICAL EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL INPUT


Conceptual Traction Power Load-Flow Analysis: Led by Stoil Stoilov, and using WSP’s proprietary load-flow model, the load-flow will be run to confirm the traction power substation locations and property takes already identified in the DEIR/EIS.

Conceptual Preliminary Operations Analysis/Simulation: To confirm runtimes (critical to ridership analysis, as well as fleet size); crossover locations (critically, several appear to be missing from the DEIR/EIS alignment, and thus, their noise and vibration impacts and property takes for signal bungalows are not analyzed); and terminal track arrangements (critical to ensuring sufficient tail track length to support design headways and the need to store revenue-ready trains.


Conceptual Operations Plan: Building upon the operations simulation and the Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment, we will prepare and submit for approval a Conceptual Operations Plan to describe and prescribe the operations and maintenance plan and requirements for the ESFVLRT system, addressing initial and full build-out requirements.


Transfer track/lead for trains awaiting permission to enter the main line Ability of ROC to route trains clear of the main line prior to transfer to yard control Resiliency (no single points of failure of power or track that would trap the entire fleet in the yard).1

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THE FEIS/EIR

The SDP team will develop an Advanced Conceptual Engineering level systems design for the project. Items critical to the FEIS/EIR support will include:

Substation locations and footprints: To define property takes.

Crossover locations and configuration: In conjunction with the facilities engineer, to support noise and vibration analysis.

The need for sidings for bad-order train storage, short-lining and support of Maintenance-of-Way will also be discussed with Rail Operations. Decisions on any connectivity with potential Metro Orange Line LRT conversion must also be discussed as these may have major impacts upon the alignment.






Grade crossing layouts and operation: Particularly for the SCRRA corridor. In conjunction with the facilities engineer, to support property takes, noise impact, and traffic analysis.



Conceptual tunnel power system configuration: In support of substation requirements, including property takes. Identification of EBPS generator location (assuming that the tunnel ground is determined to be gassy or potentially gassy).



Cost estimates: The SDP team will update the conceptual-level cost estimates for systems elements for the project in collaboration with the facilities engineer. Additionally, the SDP team will, in conjunction with Metro Rail Operations, develop a conceptual-level O&M budget.

ENGAGING METRO OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

The SDP team believes that engaging Metro Operations and Maintenance in project development is critical to success. We must remember that not only is the department (together with the riding public) the ultimate client, but it leads the critical phase of final testing, acceptance and placing into revenue service.

Our focus during the Project Definition and Environmental Support Phase will be as follows:



Discuss and review the alignment, especially crossovers, sidings, tail tracks, station configurations and grade crossing layouts.


Discuss the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the project.

Discuss how Maintenance-of-Way and Facilities Maintenance would maintain the project.


OTHER TIME-CRITICAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EFFORTS

While the following efforts have lesser impacts to the FEIS/EIR, we believe they should commence at this stage of project development:

Value Engineering: Value engineering should be promulgated in coordination with the facilities engineer. Indeed, our Systems Engineering team has already conducted some initial value engineering assessments of this project with the SDP team formed to pursue the Facilities Preliminary Engineering solicitation. This exercise has already identified some Systems and Systems-related potential savings:

Combined mainline, yard and shop substation for the project: Similar to the Gold Line Monrovia substation designed by Michael Harris-Gifford, a combined mainline, yard and shop substation could be provided, and thus, saving systems and property acquisition costs.

At-grade substations for underground stations: Similar to the substations designed by WSP for the Gold Line Eastside Extension, this project provides opportunity to place substations at grade, saving station construction costs.

Sylmar Station Layout: WSP Civil and Systems team members collaborated on a potential new layout of the Sylmar Station to accommodate easy LRT-Metrolink transfer, provide easier access to the parking lot, avoid demolition of Metrolink’s existing station while accommodating double-tracking, and provide tail tracks for LRT operation. See Exhibit 2.



Exhibit 2: Proposed Sylmar Terminus Configuration



Electric Utility Coordination: We will work with the facilities engineer and Metro staff to start the process of coordination with LADWP, and possibly SCE, for utility feeds for stations, traction power substations. and critically, the tunnel segment. We believe the tunnel is a critical component of this discussion because of the need for a trainway feeder and the likely high power capacity required.

Support Needs Outside of the Alignment: Metro is a mature transportation system, and to that end, new rail projects can no longer be developed without any impact to the existing system. Building upon SDP’s intimate knowledge of Metro, we have identified some items for early analysis and decision-making, as these can have a significant impact upon the scope, progress, cost and schedule of the project:

1. Central Control: Where will the ESFVLRT project be controlled from? Will the new ESOC be completed and if so will it be built with the facilities to support ESFVLRT? Critical ROC functions that need to be addressed include workstations for dispatchers and customer service staff, radio, SCADA, TPIS, CCTV, FAMS and NEXTRIP. A separate, but related function is the access control system at Gateway.

2. Carrier Transmission System (CTS): The Metro Orange Line CTS system uses a Lucent SONET system and does not conform with current Metro requirements. Discuss whether ESFVLRT CTS will be through-spliced to ROC/ESOC, or integrated into an upgrade to the Metro Orange Line CTS.

3. Fiber Optic Capacity: The Metro Orange Line has only two 18/24-core fiber cables (although we believe this will likely suffice). However, the Red Line fiber is both low on spares, and being up to 25 years old, presents a significant risk to the project.

4. The ESFVLRT project is located some 45 minutes from Metro’s Maintenance of Way (MOW) location (Location 61) even under ideal traveling conditions. Consideration for a satellite MOW facility, possibly within the maintenance facility site, should be considered.

5. While general bus-rail connectivity will be considered as part of the O&M Plan, an additional consideration may be for bus layover facilities, especially at the Sylmar terminal station.

Summary of SDP Deliverables During the FEIS/EIR Stage









Updated Systems Cost Estimate

Status Report on Electric Utility Coordination

ENGINEERING PHASE



There is a core goal that must and will be our continuous and continuing focus throughout our work: the successful placing of the ESFVLRT project into revenue service.



Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, lived and breathed O&M at Metro for more than eight years. He has seen, and experienced, the consequences of both good and bad planning for revenue operation. Therefore, Michael will lead a small team of experienced and independent engineers to periodically review the project design and status, to ask the following six key questions, and to check for compliance.

At a minimum, our Systems Integration Review team will review the project, including facilities and MEP, at the following stages:

Completion of FEIS/EIR Review and Basis of Design Development 50% completion of Design 95% Completion of Design 75% Completion of DB Solicitation Development 95% Completion of DB Solicitation Development

Additionally, the Systems Integration Review Team will be on standby for independent troubleshooting at any time Metro requires it.


Project System Safety and Security Program Plan (SSSecPP): Of course, Metro already has a corporate SSSecPP that is compliant with 49 CFR 659 and CPUC General Order 164-D. However, led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SSSecPP based upon Metro’s Corporate SSSecPP.

This document will be developed at the start of the Preliminary Engineering Phase and record the project organization and key deliverables for system safety and security. The project SSSecPP will be developed in coordination with, and subject to approval by, Metro Corporate Safety.

Systems Assurance Program Plan (SAPP): Another early deliverable, led by Lurae Stuart, will be the project SAPP. This document defines how Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAMS) will be incorporated into the project design and contract requirements. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead SAPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The SAPP will define the reliability and availability targets for key project elements, including:

Traction Power and OCS/OCR Train Control and Grade Crossings Communications Systems Station Electrical Systems Tunnel and Station Ventilation Systems Maintenance Facility Functions Trackwork

Maintainability requirements will be defined for the seven elements listed above. Critically, however, the SAPP will specifically demand

SDP’s Independent Systems Integration Review Team:

Michael Harris-Gifford: Ops, Maintenance

Guido Eyzaguirre: Systems Integration John Spellman: Train Control Abdulhaque Shaikh and Alan Murphy:

Traction Power and OCS Barry Sam: Communications




analysis be conducted on how maintenance will be facilitated in context of 24-hour span of service and the impact of the CPUC’s restrictive Wayside Worker Protection regulations, as defined in General Order 175.

As well as defining how and when the DB Contractor will conduct RAMS analyses, we will perform analyses upon our own design development at the 95% completion level of design. We intend to request Metro Transportation and MOW staff engagement in this analysis. Michael Harris-Gifford will be a key SDP “independent” RAMS reviewer.

Threat and Vulnerability Analysis (TVA): We anticipate the project TVA will jointly be led by Metro’s Corporate Safety and System Security & Law Enforcement departments. The SDP team will provide support, alongside the Facilities Engineering team. Critical TVA input into the Systems design is security and access control systems, including CCTV, portal intrusion, access control system (card key), and general intrusion detection systems.

Safety Certification Program Plan (SCPP): Led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SCPP. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead SCPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

Complying with the SSSecPP and CPUC General Order 164-D, the SCPP will define the project safety certification process, organization, and roles and responsibilities from Preliminary Engineering, through to submittal of the final Safety Certification Verification Report to the CPUC no later than 21 calendar days prior to the planned start of revenue operations. Key deliverables for the safety certification process, defined in the SCPP include:

Safety Certifiable Items List (SCIL) Design Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-furnished safety items) Construction Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-furnished safety items) Integrated Testing Certification Checklist (including checklists for Metro-led testing) Training Certification Checklist (including vendor training and Metro internal training) Contractor Safety Certification Verification Report (SCVR) Metro SCVR Report (including certifications of readiness from Metro Transportation, Security and Maintenance

departments)

During the Engineering Phase, the SDP team will develop the SCIL. This is a list of project elements that are safety-critical and must be certified as safe as part of the SCVR.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA): Led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific PHA, complying with FTA guidelines per DOT-FTA-MA-26-5005-00-01. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead PHA development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The PHA checklist will be organized by system and subsystem and will initially be populated with the hazard descriptions, potential cause and effect. John’s team will work with the Project Engineering team to assess the failure rate and assign an initial hazard risk index. This will then be circulated for review and comment at about the 50% design completion level.



SCPP Key Factors for Success: Clearly define the DB Contractor’s role,

responsibilities and deliverables Clearly define Metro’s role, responsibilities

and deliverables Define the Safety Certification Review

Committee Demand certification sign-off commence

upon IFC design and is tracked monthly thereafter



Interface Management Plan (IMP): We recommend that the SDP team lead development of the IMP, with input from the facilities engineer. This document will define how interfaces between project elements will be reviewed and tracked, including elements external to Metro, but related to the project.

We will also develop an initial interface matrix to define project element interfaces to the extent these are developed during the Engineering Phase.



Led by Rick Blake, the SDP team will further define and refine the ESFVLRT O&M Plan. Particular areas of focus will include:

Updated Operations Analysis/Simulation (using the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team) Connectivity/integration into existing operations Bus/LRT/regional rail interface Service plan/pattern Headway (normal and single-tracking) Crossover and siding needs Fleet size Yard capacity, function and configuration Existing system interface and cutover

While not directly a part of the Systems Engineering Scope, we will work with Metro’s Vehicle Acquisition team to define the requirements and interfaces for the LRVs to support this project. Critically, we need to identify where and when these vehicles would be delivered and commissioned.


We will update the parameters input to our traction power load-flow model, including the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team, and re-un the model to confirm substation locations and ratings. The model will also be used to confirm feeder cable and OCS ratings.

Data from the model will be used for the traction power system design and to further discussion with LADWP and SCE for utility drops.

Systems Engineering







MAJOR DECISION POINT: We need to work with SCRRA to determine how and who is to design manages to the signaling system for the mainline railroad, including Positive Train Control (PTC)



Grade Crossing Design: Our plan is to conduct field diagnostics with Metro Operations, Corporate Safety, SCRRA, the CPUC and the jurisdictional DOT, and to submit grade crossing applications toward the end of the Engineering period so that there is sufficient time for crossing approval by the CPUC prior to DB NTP.

Critically, design needs to include the LRT and mainline railroad portions of the crossings.

We believe the planned four-track shared LRT/SCRRA grade crossings at Paxton, Maclay, Brand, Jessie and Hubbard present considerable risk of non-acceptance from both the SCRRA and the CPUC. We believe an early and intense effort by the combined ESFVLRT Engineering and Project Management team is vital to devise an acceptable design.

Communication System Design, including CTS, CCTV, TPIS, SDS, GDS, SCADA, F&EM/Emergency Trip Station/System, telephone, IDS and ACS. Critically, we will determine what infrastructure needs to be completed to facilitate communications to ROC/ESOC. Additionally, the closeness of the LRT tracks to the SCRRA Antelope Valley line will certainly trigger the need for extensive intrusion detection between the LRT and mainline railroad tracks. SDP team partner PTG designed such facilities for the Gold Line Foothill Extension.

Radio Design, including: determination of radio antenna locations for the tunnel; verification of coverage for surface alignment from existing Metro hilltop sites; verification with Metro Fire/Life safety of what emergency responder channels are needed (primarily LASD, LAPD and LACoFD, but possibly also including LA-RICS), and discussion with Metro Operations regarding what operating and maintenance channels are to be used (possibly including the acquisition of new frequencies for ESFVLRT).


Progress prints of the Systems Engineering will be produced at the 50% and 95% completion levels to facilitate comprehensive review by the Systems and Facilities engineers, Metro, and SDP’s independent Systems Integration Review team. We anticipate the systems design to lag four to six weeks behind the facilities design for us to properly incorporate the facilities design into systems.

Additionally, the SDP team will review MRDC, Fire/Life Safety Design Criteria and Standard Drawings at this time to confirm compliance and, where necessary, draft Design Deviation Requests or Requests for Special Consideration, as applicable, to secure approval of deviations.




Discuss and review the mainline systems design, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.



Discuss the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the project and any other Metro-furnished facilities.

LESSON LEARNED: Our experience with past Metro projects indicate the cost and schedule benefits of having completed grade crossing applications before DB solicitation. The consequences of not having approved crossing applications is that the project is not approved for construction. Indeed, negative review by the CPUC can result in prohibition to construct (with the related delays’ costs) and can even result in grade separation or road closure, triggering re-opening of environmental documents.




The SDP team believes that engaging Metro Fire/Life Safety at the Engineering Phase is an important factor in securing successful certification of the project and approval of an Occupancy Permit. Our focus for engagement will be as follows:







Property for substations and signal houses


OCS foundations

Grade crossing layouts




Yard and shop layout and configuration

TC&C room layout, and heat and power load estimates.

Cost Estimate

The SDP team will develop cost estimates for the Systems portions of the project and fold them into the overall cost estimate, led by the Facilities Engineering team.

DESIGN/BUILD SOLICITATION DEVELOPMENT PHASE

The following work plan is presented on the assumption that the ESFVLRT project is solicited as a single DB project. We recognize, of course, that there a number of different ways forward for solicitation, including splitting the project into several solicitations (i.e. main line, tunnels, maintenance facility, and systems), or into different types of solicitation from Build-Build to P3. Whatever configuration of solicitation Metro ultimately selects, the SDP team is ready and able to serve.



We foresee this being led primarily by Metro, with input from the Project Engineering team.

Metro, and the Foothill and Expo construction authorities have used a variety of DB solicitation formats with varying degrees of success. We strongly encourage Metro to carefully review past solicitations, the lessons learned from their relative successes, and the applicability of these solicitations to the ESFVLRT project.

We further suggest that a small team of senior WSP, Mott MacDonald and PTG personnel, experienced in Metro DB solicitation be engaged in this outline review and development phase to maximize the probability of success.

Design/Build Solicitation Development



MAJOR DECISION POINT: One of the most important decision points is how to deal with work on and about the SCRRA alignment. There are three major factors:

1) Safety and wayside worker protection requirements on the active railroad.

2) The scope of work for modification and/or replacement of SCRRA infrastructure, the requirements, and who performs the work.

3) SCRRA’s construction phasing requirements and preservation of revenue service.






Specifically, in the “Constructability, Durability, and Maintainability in Design” section of our proposal, we have indicated some ways in which solicitation documents, especially those in Division 01, can be further improved.

We plan to submit DB solicitation specifications for formal review at the 75%, 95% and 100% completion levels.


Continuing our engagement of Metro rail operations and maintenance, our focus during the DB Solicitation Development Phase will be as follows:



Discuss and review the systems testing and rail activation requirements and schedule, including the provision of rolling stock and other items of Metro support.


Design/Build Solicitation Assembly

A DB solicitation for a project such as the ESFVLRT project contains a large volume of documents, both contractual and reference. The SDP team anticipates significant effort, as part of the entire project team, to assemble documents, ensure they are the most current, and review their proper placement within the overall solicitation.

Branch LRT

EIR Support, Engineering and P3 Solicitation

TASK ORDER PROPOSAL

Version No.: Draft

Date: 01.05.18

EXAMPLE WORKPLAN: WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH LRT EIR SUPPORT, ENGINEERING AND P3 SOLICITATION


The following is a proposed workplan for the West Santa Ana Branch LRT (WSAB) project. The workplan is developed to take the project from the Final EIR/EIS stage through completion of Engineering and into the commencement of P3 solicitation. That is, through the first three phases of our Task Order Flow Matrix.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE WSAB PROJECT

The WSAB is planned to be a conventional high-platform light rail system in an approximately north-south orientation. The northern terminus is at Union Station, adjacent (though not physically connected to) the Gold Line tracks. The project development in downtown Los Angeles currently retains several options for the alignment, although all include significant tunnel alignment in the northern portion of this segment.

Further south, the project retains two primary alignment options. The Alameda alignment follows Alameda Street in a mostly aerial alignment, joining the existing Blue Line ROW at Washington Station, and continuing south in aerial alignment to Slauson Station, where the alignment turns east along railroad ROW at-grade along Randolph Street (requiring freight track relocation) to just short of Maywood Avenue. For the Pacific option, the project follows Santa Fe Avenue in underground and then aerial alignment, diverting onto BNSF ROW at 25th street (still in aerial alignment), returning to at-grade alignment at and along Pacific Boulevard to Randolph Street.

The southern portion of the alignment follows railroad TOW at grade (with the freight track relocated), diverting to a southwest alignment at grade in railroad ROW just north of Rosecrans. The project continues in abandoned ROW in a southwesterly direction from Somerset Boulevard to the terminus at Pioneer.

Exhibit 1: West Santa Ana Branch Project Alignment



We are very much aware that Metro has already received multiple proposals to execute this project as a P3 solicitation, and is, therefore, not subject to the same fiscal constraints as other Measure M projects; that is, funding is not a source of schedule constraint. Understanding this, our workplan is based upon a greatly accelerated schedule to solicitation. Specifically, our plan is to commence engineering during the final year of the environmental process and to commence development of solicitation documents in parallel with completion of engineering.


The first task, and one most important to making the project a success, is to meet with the project team to establish and solidify relationships, lines of communication, and an understanding of the scopes of work of the various entities involved.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, will introduce our project team, including our corridor manager, Bill Lucci, and lay out our initial workplan. The kick-off meetings will enable all project stakeholders to adapt our workplans to form an integrated and collaborative team for complete project delivery.

Specifically, we recognize that Metro has identified this project as a candidate for P3 solicitation and that key decisions need to be made as to key features of the P3 contract, including:

Compatibility with existing Metro LRT systems

Conformity with Metro Operating and Maintenance practices and rules

Compliance with Metro Rail Design Criteria (MRDC)

Performance requirements for revenue service (peak and off-peak)

Performance requirements for maintenance and overhaul

Entity that controls the railroad; Metro or the Contractor

Entity that provides security

Rights and responsibility for Metro oversight, including safety and audit

Relationship of Contractor with the CPUC Degree of prescriptive technical requirements (in comparison with DB)

We presume that Metro will, separately, contract for Preliminary Engineering and Design Services During Construction for the lead engineer for tunneling, alignment and trackwork, yard and shop, civil, architectural, station, and MEP. As such, we anticipate that the facilities engineer will be the lead engineer for the overall project and, together with the Metro project management team, will establish an Integrated Project Management Office (IPMO). We anticipate this will include the project document control and management systems, project procedures, CADD manual, QA/QC plan, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), etc.

Our aim is to fully integrate and immerse our Systems team into the overall WSAB project team.

PROJECT SETUP PHASE


Project Management Plan: Led by the facilities engineer, with input from our Systems team to describe the systems engineering team and scope, and how we are integrated with and into the overall project team.


Document Control System and Procedures: The SDP systems team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.

MAJOR PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS: Metro Project team, including Planning

and Project Delivery Environmental Consultant: [WSP, Monica

Born] Facilities Engineer: [TBD]

SDP ENHANCEMENT: PMs Michael Harris-Gifford and Monica Born have worked closely together on projects, including the Gold and Expo lines, since 2000.



QA/QC program: The SDP systems team will adopt this system, which we anticipate will be developed by the facilities engineer.

Project Budget and Budget Breakdown: The SDP systems team will conform to this project-wide system, which we anticipate will be developed by the Facilities Engineer.

Project Implementation Plan (PIP): Led by the facilities, with input from our Systems team, this document will define how the project will be executed, controlled and monitored. It will also define how progress will be reported.


This is an early phase of the Engineering effort, where the facilities engineer and Systems team, together, define the project, and review and develop critical project elements that may directly influence the overall project scope and configuration and the environmental analysis.




Confirmation of potential traction power substation locations

Confirmation of potential Train Control & Communications (TC&C) houses, both at stations and elsewhere

Identification and location of substations for underground stations, including Emergency Backup Power Supply (EBPS) generator

Location of radio antennae for tunnel segment(s)

Location and type of crossovers

Provision of tail tracks at Union and Pioneer (which the WSP EIR team appear to have done)

Integration with existing Gold Line Union Station, including service disruption avoidance

Accommodation of shared ROW with the UPRR to Somerset

Configuration of shared grade crossings with UPRR

Yard location, layout and accommodation of required facilities

Description of planned operations, fleet size, and system security and safety provisions

Any environmental commitments affecting Systems, especially related to noise and aesthetics

Estimated cost of systems elements

ESTABLISHING AN INITIAL BASIS OF DESIGN

We have reviewed the current alignment development drawings and have particular areas of concern: The tunnel alignment in the Arts District area is slow. We will

seek opportunity to maximize track/cab speed MOW and emergency access provisions for aerial alignment

South of the I-10. UPRR and CPUC approval of crossings shared with the UPRR. Potential lack of ROW where the alignment crosses Somerset

Boulevard Potential lack of property for TC&C rooms or crossing

bungalows

KEY SYSTEMS PARAMETERS TO CONFIRM: The primacy and relevancy of MRDC System Operational Requirements (if not per MRDC Section 10). Traction Power: Confirmation of standard Metro TPSS configuration;



Train Control: Key operational decision of what form of ATP system to deploy. This will set the compatibility of WSAB with other lines; shared UPRR/WSAB grade crossings; and yard train control requirements.




Building upon the FEIS/EIR and the associated Conceptual Engineering, we will develop and submit for approval the Systems sections of initial Basis of Design report. This report, led by the facilities engineer, will establish the key facilities and Systems parameters to guide the continuing design development. Each major system and subsystem will be defined in overall terms.

In addition to more generally establishing Systems Basis of Design parameters, there are some important Systems factors specific to the WSAB Project to be established, including:

Integration and connectivity with the Metro system (now and in the future) at Union Station.

Maintenance facility location, capacity and facilities.


CRITICAL EARLY ENVIRONMENTAL INPUT


Conceptual Traction Power Load-Flow Analysis: Led by Kwaku Larbi, and using Mott McDonald’s proprietary load-flow model, the load-flow will be run to confirm the traction power substation locations and property takes already identified in the DEIR/EIS.

Conceptual Preliminary Operations Analysis/Simulation: To confirm runtimes (critical to ridership analysis, as well as fleet size) crossover locations (critically, several appear to be missing from the DEIR/EIS alignment, and thus, their noise and vibration impacts and property takes for signal bungalows are not analyzed); and terminal track arrangements (critical to ensuring sufficient tail track length to support design headways and the need to store revenue-ready trains).


Conceptual Operations Plan: Building upon the operations simulation and the Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment, we will prepare and submit for approval a Conceptual Operations Plan to describe and prescribe the operations and maintenance plan and requirements for the WSAB system, addressing initial and full build-out requirements. This is needed to determine what performance metrics to impose upon the P3 franchisee.


The need for sidings for bad-order train storage, short-lining and support of Maintenance-of-Way will also be discussed with Rail Operations.






Ability of Rail Operations Center (ROC) to route trains clear of the main line prior to transfer to yard control

Resiliency (no single points of failure of power or track that would trap the entire fleet in the yard).1

Systems Engineering Efforts to Support the FEIS/EIR

The SDP team will develop an Advanced Conceptual Engineering level systems design for the project. Items critical to the FEIS/EIR support will include:

Substation locations and footprints: To define property takes.

Crossover locations and configuration: In conjunction with the facilities engineer, to support noise and vibration analysis.

Grade crossing layouts and operation: Particularly for the UPRR corridor. In conjunction with the facilities engineer, to support property takes, noise impact, and traffic analyses.

Review of Advanced Conceptual Engineering alignment: Particularly for review of alignment and curve speeds both to maximize train speed and to ensure that curve speeds conform with cab signal speeds.


Conceptual tunnel power system configuration: In support of substation requirements, including property takes. Identification of EBPS generator location (assuming that the tunnel ground is determined to be gassy or potentially gassy).



Cost Estimates: The SDP team will update the conceptual-level cost estimates for systems elements for the project in collaboration with the facilities engineer.


While Metro may not be the operator/maintainer under a P3 project, the Operations department still has an interest in the project in terms of supporting the region’s transportation needs, in terms of securing a usable product when the franchise ends, and a valuable resource in verifying the project, as specified, is safe, operable and maintainable.

Our recommendations for Metro Operations to focus on during the Project Definition and Environmental Support Phase will be as follows:



Discuss and review the alignment, especially crossovers, sidings, tail tracks, station configurations and grade crossing layouts.


Discuss the infrastructure to support communications with ROC and ROC capacity to support the project (if Metro is to dispatch the railroad).


Other Time-Critical Systems Engineering Efforts

While the following efforts have lesser impacts on the FEIS/EIR, we believe they should commence at this stage of project development:




Electric Utility Coordination: We will work with the Facilities Engineer and Metro staff to start the process of coordination with LADWP and SCE for utility feeds for stations, TPSS and, critically, the tunnel segment. We believe the tunnel is a critical component of this discussion because of the need for a trainway feeder and because of the likely high power capacity required.

Support Needs Outside of the Alignment: Metro is a mature transportation system, and to that end, new rail projects can no longer be developed without any impact to the existing system. Building upon SDP’s intimate knowledge of Metro, we have identified some items for early analysis and decision-making, as these can have a significant impact upon to scope, progress, cost and schedule of the project:

1. Central Control: Where will the WSAB project be controlled from? Critical ROC functions that need to be addressed include workstations for dispatchers and customer service staff, radio, SCADA, TPIS, CCTV, FAMS and NEXTRIP. A separate, but related function is the access control system at Gateway.

2. While general bus-rail connectivity will be considered as part of the O&M Plan, an additional consideration may be for bus layover facilities, especially at the Sylmar terminal station.

Summary of SDP Deliverables During the FEIS/R Stage









Updated Systems Cost Estimate Status Report on Electric Utility Coordination

ENGINEERING PHASE



There is a core goal that must and will be our continuous and continuing focus throughout our work; the successful placing of the WSAB LRT project into revenue service.

Our project manager, Michael Harris-Gifford, lived and breathed O&M at Metro for more than eight years. He has seen, and experienced, the consequences of both good and bad planning for revenue operation. Therefore, for every project, Michael will lead a small team of experienced and independent engineers to periodically review the project design and status, to ask the following six key questions and to check for compliance.

Our Systems Integration Review team will review the project, including facilities and MEP, at minimum at the following stages:

1. Completion of FEIS/R Review and Basis of Design Development 2. 50% completion of Design

SDP’S INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS INTEGRATION REVIEW TEAM:

Michael Harris-Gifford: Ops, maintenance

Guido Eyzaguirre: Systems Integration John Spellman: Train Control Arvind Patel: Traction Power Gordon MacDonald: OCS Barry Sam: Communications



3. 95% Completion of Design/75% Completion of P3 Solicitation Development 4. 95% Completion of P3 Solicitation Development

Additionally, the Systems Integration Review team will be on standby for independent troubleshooting at any time Metro requires it.


Project System Safety and Security Program Plan (SSSecPP): Metro already has a corporate SSSecPP that is compliant with 49 CFR 659 and CPUC General Order 164-D. However, led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SSSecPP based upon Metro’s Corporate SSSecPP.

This document will be developed at the start of the Preliminary Engineering phase and will record the project organization and key deliverables for system safety and security. The project SSSecPP will be developed in coordination with, and subject to approval by, Metro Corporate Safety.

Threat and Vulnerability Analysis (TVA): We anticipate the project TVA will be jointly led by Metro’s Corporate Safety and System Security & Law Enforcement departments. The SDP team will provide support, alongside the Facilities Engineering team. Critical TVA input into the Systems design is security and access control systems, including CCTV, portal intrusion, access control system (card key) and general intrusion detection systems.

Safety Certification Program Plan (SCPP): Led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific SCPP. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead SCPP development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

Complying with the SSSecPP and CPUC General Order 164-D, the SCPP will define the project safety certification process, organization, and roles and responsibilities from Preliminary Engineering, through to submittal of the final Safety Certification Verification Report (SCVR) to the CPUC no later than 21 calendar days prior to the planned start of revenue operations. Key deliverables for the safety certification process, defined in the SCPP include:

Safety Certifiable Items List (SCIL)

Design Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-furnished safety items)

Construction Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-furnished safety items)

Integrated Testing Certification Checklist (including checklists for any Metro-led testing)

Training Certification Checklist SCVR




During the Engineering Phase, the SDP team will develop the SCIL, a list of project elements that are safety-critical and must be certified as safe as part of the SCVR.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA): Led by John Cockle, the SDP team will develop a project-specific PHA, complying with FTA guidelines per DOT-FTA-MA-26-5005-00-01. While this is a systemwide document, we believe the Systems Engineering team is best-placed to lead PHA development, with support from the Facilities Engineering team.

The PHA checklist will be organized by system and subsystem and initially be populated with the hazard descriptions, potential cause and effect. We will work with the Project Engineering team to assess the failure rate and assign an initial hazard risk index. This will then be circulated for review and comment at about the 50% design completion level.

We will then update the matrix and review it with the project Engineering team to populate the corrective action columns. We will pay particular attention to items that have a hazard classification of IA, IB, IC, IIA, IIB, IIIA, ID, IIC, IID, IIIB, or IIIC as these are generally classified as unacceptable or undesirable. Our aim will be, where practicable, to mitigate hazards to the “acceptable” level.




The SDP team will further define and refine the WSAB O&M Plan. Particular areas of focus will include:

Updated Operations Analysis/Simulation (using the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team)

Connectivity/Integration into existing operations

Bus/rail interface

Service plan/pattern

Headway (normal and single-tracking)

Crossover and siding needs

Fleet size

Yard capacity, function and configuration Existing system interface and cutover

While not directly a part of the Systems Engineering Scope, we will work with Metro’s Vehicle Acquisition team to define the requirements and interfaces for the LRVs to support this project. Critically, we need to identify where and when these vehicles would be delivered and commissioned.


We will update the parameters input to our traction power load-flow model, including the updated alignment from the Facilities Engineering team, and rerun the model to confirm substation locations and ratings. The model will also be used to confirm feeder cable and OCS ratings.

Data from the model will be used for the traction power system design and to further discussion with LADWP and SCE for utility drops.

Systems Engineering






Traction Power Design: Substation capacity, size, locations & layout, tunnel trainway feeder configuration, and maintenance facility substation design.



Grade Crossing Design. Our plan is to conduct field diagnostics with Metro Operations, Corporate Safety, UPRR, the CPUC and the jurisdictional DOT, and to submit grade crossing applications toward the end of the Engineering period so that there is sufficient time for crossing approval by the CPUC prior to P3 NTP.

Critically, design needs to include the LRT and freight railroad portions of the crossings.

Communication System Design, including CTS, CCTV, TPIS, SDS, GDS, SCADA, F&EM/EMPs, telephone, IDS and ACS. Critically, we will determine what infrastructure needs to be completed to facilitate communications to central control.

Additionally, the closeness of the LRT tracks to the UPRR may trigger the need for extensive intrusion detection between the LRT and mainline railroad tracks. SDP partner PTG designed such facilities for the Gold Line Foothill Extension.

Radio Design, including: determination of radio antenna locations for the tunnel; verification of coverage for surface alignment from existing Metro hilltop sites; verification with Metro fire/life safety of what emergency responder channels are needed (primarily LASD, LAPD and LACoFD, but possibly also including LA-RICS), and discussion with Metro Operations regarding what operating and maintenance channels are to be used (possibly including the acquisition of new frequencies for WSAB).


Progress prints of the Systems Engineering will be produced at the 95% completion level to facilitate comprehensive review by the Systems and Facilities engineers, Metro, and SDP’s independent Systems Integration Review team. We anticipate the systems design to lag three to four weeks behind the facilities design for us to properly incorporate the facilities design into systems.

Additionally, the SDP team will review MRDC, Fire/Life Safety Design Criteria and Standard Drawings at this time to confirm compliance, and where necessary, draft Design Deviation Requests or Requests for Special Consideration, as applicable, to secure approval of deviations.




Discuss and review the mainline systems design, especially with respect to supporting maintenance and 24/7 operation.




LESSON LEARNED: Our experience with past Metro projects indicates the cost and schedule benefits of having completed grade crossing applications before solicitation. The consequences of not having approved crossing applications is that the project is not approved for construction. Indeed, negative review by the CPUC can result in prohibition to construct (with the related delays costs) and can even result in grade separation or road closure, triggering reopening of environmental documents.



The SDP team believes that engaging Metro Fire/Life safety at the Engineering Phase is an important factor in securing successful certification of the project and approval of an Occupancy Permit. Our focus for engagement will be as follows:







Property for substations and signal houses


OCS foundations

Grade crossing layouts




Yard and shop layout and configuration TC&C room layout, and heat and power load estimates.

Cost Estimate

The SDP team will develop cost estimates for the systems portions of the project and fold them into the overall cost estimate, led by the Facilities Engineering team.

P3 SOLICITATION DEVELOPMENT PHASE

The following work plan is presented on the assumption that the WSAB project is solicited as a single P3 project. We recognize, of course, that there are a number of different ways forward for solicitation, including splitting the project into several solicitations (i.e., mainline, tunnels, maintenance facility, and systems), or into different types of solicitation from Build-Build to P3. Whatever configuration of solicitation Metro ultimately selects, the SDP team are ready and able to serve.



We foresee this being led primarily by Metro, with input from the Project Engineering team. We suggest that a small team of senior WSP, Mott MacDonald and PTG personnel, experienced in Metro solicitation, be engaged in this outline review and development phase to maximize the probability of success.

Continuing our engagement of Metro rail operations and maintenance, our focus during the P3 Solicitation Development Phase will be as follows:



Discuss and review the systems testing and rail activation requirements and schedule, including the provision of rolling stock.




P3 Solicitation Assembly

A P3 solicitation for a project such as the WSAB LRT project contains a large volume of documents, both contractual and reference. The SDP team anticipates significant effort, as part of the entire project team, to assemble documents, ensure they are the most current, and to review their proper placement within the overall solicitation.

Criteria TASK ORDER PROPOSAL

Version No.: Draft

Date: 01.05.18

EXAMPLE WORKPLAN: DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEMS STANDARD DRAWINGS AND UPDATING OF METRO DESIGN CRITERIA


During his tenure with Metro, Michael Harris-Gifford and his Wayside staff saw the need for developing Standard Drawings for Systems and Wayside elements, in a similar manner to what Metro already developed for Civil, Architectural, Wayfinding, Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing elements. We are aware that Metro Engineering, through the leadership of Michael Ratnasingham, has commenced doing so, but we anticipate that this task l is likely not yet complete. Therefore, we propose Metro consider an early task order to complete development of Systems Standard drawings for light rail, heavy rail and possibly BRT.

Additionally, we feel that the ongoing Crenshaw, Regional Connector and Purple Line projects offer a timely opportunity to revisit Metro Rail Design Criteria (MRDC) and make any small adjustments necessary. The SDP team would be pleased to also assist in that effort.

The following provides an outline of a potential work plan to perform the tasks described above.

INFORMATION GATHERING

This initial phase of the work will require the task team to meet with Metro Project and Departmental stakeholders to:

Determine what MRDC revisions are needed, based largely upon lessons learned from recent projects; and

Determine what Systems Standard Drawings would be useful to both guide and restrain Systems design and construction on future projects.

Step 1: Poll Key Metro Departments. It is imperative that we meet and have discussions with Metro project staff, as well as key departmental stakeholders, to gain the maximum input.

As explained in our proposal, the SDP team knows the key personnel within Metro to a far greater depth than any other Engineering Consultant. We do not need to “learn” who to talk to, we already know. On the following page, we have provided sample forms we will use to solicit for and record information. Metro personnel are busy people and we believe that an off-line electronic survey will fail to obtain full input. Therefore, it is important that we have personnel meet face-to-face with project and department personnel to have an interactive dialogue and take copies of documents at that time.

Step 2: Summarize List of Changes and Review with Metro Engineering. After acquiring input from the various projects and Metro departments, we will develop a summary of MRDC changes and Standard Drawing requests. This will then be presented to Metro Engineering for discussion and concurrence before proceeding with development. IMPLEMENT METRO RAIL DESIGN CRITERIA REVISIONS

This process is relatively straightforward as Metro already has an established Systemwide Baseline Change Notice process that has been in use for several years for MRDC revision identification and approval. We anticipate our primary focus will be on the following MRDC Sections:

Section 9 – Systems:

Clarify security requirements for parking structures and parking lots

Add time synchronization requirements for train control and possibly for TPSS

Add overhead conductor rail requirements Update Emergency Management Panel

requirements Update public address (PA) speaker

frequency response Add right side door/berthing detection (if

Corporate Safety’s pilot project is successful)

Add more specific guidance requirements for gas detector placement

Update SCADA input/output (I/O) list

Section 10 – Operations:

Clarify train speeds and dwells for single-tracking

Provide clearer explanation of terminal dwell

Add minimum tail track length

Section 12 – Safety, Security and Systems Assurance:

Check for consistency with Section 9 security requirements

Add platform intrusion detection (if the pilot project is successful) Incorporate impact of CPUC General Order 175 (Wayside Worker Protection)

However, we feel that review of the following sections, with Systems requirements in mind, is also warranted:

Section 4 (Guideway and Trackwork):

SDP Enhancement: Gas Detection During the Regional Connector project, it became clear that guidelines are needed for placement of methane (CH4) and hydrogen-sulphide (H2S) gas detectors. We propose to include guidelines on sensor placement as an Appendix to Section 9 of the MRDC along the following lines:

Comply with Los Angeles City Ordinance No. 175790 Place CH4 or H2S detectors in rooms where no continuous

ventilation will exist Place CH4 detectors on the ceilings at the highest level of a

stairwell only Place H2S sensors at the floor of the lowest level of a stairway

adjacent to the HDPE exterior membrane Place CH4 and H2S sensors in rooms with walls or floors

adjacent to the HDPE exterior membrane In long corridors with walls or floors adjacent to the HDPE

exterior membrane, one CH4 sensor at the ceiling (highest point or middle), and one H2S at the floor (lowest point or middle)

Rooms that are above other rooms that are monitored do not require sensors, unless they have a wall adjacent to the HDPE exterior membrane, in which case a CH4 sensor is needed

All sump pump and ejector rooms require both CH4 and H2S sensors, regardless of location of the HDPE exterior membrane



Clearances to accommodate the requirements of Roadway Worker Protection per General Order 175. Restrictions on the use of spring frogs

Section 6 (Architectural):

Incorporation of the most current security requirements Incorporation of the most current public information system requirements

Section 7 (Electrical):

Incorporation of utility requirements, including customer service requirements and electric service requirements Clarify requirements for load-shed circuitry power source Check that Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) requirements conform with Wayside needs and conform with UPS

requirements specified elsewhere, including Section 9.

Section 11 (Yard and Shops):

Incorporation of the latest train control, traction power and communications requirements

DEVELOPING SYSTEMS STANDARD DRAWINGS

We plan to develop systems standard drawings from existing project drawings, wherever possible, thus minimizing the effort required.

Our meetings with project and departmental stakeholders will confirm what Standard System Drawings are required. However, based upon our in-depth knowledge of Metro, we already anticipate the following:

Traction Power
