The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has awarded Bechtel Corp. a $490 million contract for construction management services for the BART Silicon Valley Extension project.
The contract is for a 10-year period ending June 2034, according to a VTA news release.
Under the contract, Bechtel will establish a program-wide organizational structure, processes and procedures for effective management of all phases of construction. Additionally, Bechtel will manage and administer construction contracts, construction costs and schedule, change orders, claims and disputes as well as construction quality and safety, VTA officials said.
Construction is expected to begin later this year to prepare for the arrival of the tunnel-boring machine.
“This contract award represents a significant step toward putting processes and systems in place to get a shovel in the ground,” said Tom Maguire, VTA chief megaprojects officer.
