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: 9 single tracks, and 6 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 – Ductbank riser will be installed this spring. Section gap installation work is complete. Exterior masonry work is complete (with the exception of the west wall – requires warmer weather due to space constraints). Site utilities are being installed. * Armitage – CTA track column replacement work continues with earth retention installation, excavation, lagging and bracing installation followed by temporary shoring in order to remove and replace twenty-seven column foundations. Exterior column foundation replacement is complete. * Hill – Exterior masonry work is ongoing. Interior finishing, including painting and utility rough in, is ongoing. Ductbank work is continuing, with earth retention installation and excavation, followed by conduit installation. Delay Explanation: * First floor of Farwell Substation does not meet flatness requirements of equipment. Floor topping is being re-done. Equipment will be installed once the floor meets requirement. * Unforeseen underground conditions and a high water table have been encountered within CTA right of way a Armitage Substation, creating delays and requiring a site dewatering plan for future excavation work. * Unsuitable soils and unforeseen underground conditions have been encountered within CTA right of way in the Hill ductbank installation.
