Paschen (GC) * Project Manager: Barney Gray (GM), Premal Vora (PM) Detailed Overview of Scope: Construct three (3) new traction power substations namely, Farwell, Armitage, Hill. * Modify Orleans switch room. * Modify Weed switch room. * Modify Sedgwick substation. Slide #4 Project Title: Traction Power Systems Upgrades and Improvements * Impact on Customers: Nine single tracks, and six reroutes. Street and lane closures around worksites, curtailed access to resident garages (at Armitage). * Benefit to System: Additional traction power capacity, reduced traction power related train defects, improved reliability for revenue service, and improved safety. * Benefit to Community: Improved safety. * Impact on Accessibility: None * Estimated # of Jobs Created: 89 * Customer Communication Need: Construction activity notices will be needed to alert businesses and residents to weekend, night work and power outages. Comparable Projects: * NA Slide #5 Project Title: Traction Power Systems Upgrades and Improvements Construction Progress: * Farwell – Traction power equipment is installed. Connection to rails is complete. Final equipment – rail connection tests are required prior to energization. * Armitage – The last CTA track column replacement work continues. Wall installation progresses on the DC building. Foundation work on the AC building continues. * Hill – Traction power equipment is installed. Cable pulling and splicing from the substation continues. o Subway duct bank installation is complete. Preparation for rail connections is in progress. Delay Explanation: * Unforeseen underground conditions and high water table have been encountered within CTA right of way at Armitage Substation, creating a delay and requiring site dewatering prior to interior column excavation work.
