BackgroundProject challenges identified and presented to April JPB Board
- Contractor low productivity
- Limited progress on contract disputes and claims negotiations
- Additional utility conflicts with UP Joint Fiber Optic trench (redesign, permits, and relocation)
- COVID-19 impacts to construction crews (several interruptions during period)
Actions- New project team
- Establish new relationship with contractors
- Increased productivity from $1M to $3M per month (cashflow stress)
- Team reviewed project to assess costs and completion schedule
17
Project Team ReviewPath to project completion
- Construction is over 80% complete
- Contractor making deliberate positive progress
- Amend existing contract to finish the work (lowest cost and least risk option)
Additional $25m funding needed for:- Resolution of change orders and claims
- Cost escalation
- Increased payment for performance and bond
- Remaining construction risk
Station opening Nov. 2021
Remaining work- Complete Ramp 1 / Stair 1 (East Side)
- Complete East Plaza and West Plaza
- Complete Poletti Way work
- Bring station amenities online
Risks- PG&E – power to the station
- AT&T – communication circuits to the station
- Poletti Way – tie in with SSF infrastructure and potential utility conflicts
