Final Foothill extension $48.7 million contract awarded

On Wednesday the Authority board of directors awarded a $48.7 million design-build contract to Webcor Builders for the intermodal parking facilities and enhancements project. This is the third and final design-build contract needed to complete the nearly billion dollar Pasadena to Azusa project, and keeps us on budget and on schedule for delivering the light rail project to Metro in 2015.
Webcor was selected after a 10-month procurement process, which began when Foothill Extension received statement of qualifications from nine interested teams. Following receipt of final proposals last month,.
Currently, the alignment contractor, FTC, is on schedule to substantially complete the light rail project’s design in March, and is actively working throughout the corridor. They recently completed the first of 24 bridges, and are constructing numerous others in Azusa and Arcadia. They have broken ground on the first at-grade crossings (at Highland Ave in Duarte and Dalton Ave in Azusa) and continue work on the Duarte Station. Of course, utility relocation and installation is happening all along the corridor, along with other activities, including the first concrete pours at the Operations Campus.
