Construction Project Briefing February 5, 2014 Slide #2 Today’s Presentation • Traction Power - Farwell/Armitage/Hill Substations • Bus Hoist Replacement Program * Phase 1 – Forest Glen, South Shops, 77th Street Bus Garage * Phase 2 – Kedzie Bus Garage * Phase 2 – North Park Garage * Phase 2 – Chicago and 103rd Garage Slide #3 Project Title: Traction Power Systems Upgrades and Improvements Managing Department: Power & Way Construction * Justification of Need: Substation equipment is obsolete and has exceeded its current life span. * Priority of Project: High * Total Project Budget: $56,918,563.00 * Construction Contract Value: $46,684,000.00 * Earned to Date: 27% * Percent Change Orders to Construction Contract: 0% * Percent Time Used to Date: 59% * Funding Source: State Capital Program * Estimated Start Date/Estimated Length of Project: NTP issued September 30, 2012 * Designer of Record: Laramore, Douglass and Popham (LDP) * Construction Manager/General Contractor: STV (CM), F.H. Paschen (GC) * Project Manager: Barney Gray (GM), David Heard (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 Managing Department: Power & Way Construction * 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 Managing Department: Power & Way Construction Construction Progress: * Farwell – Work is continuing with masonry and site utilities. The interior work is proceeding dielectric flooring installation. Equipment testing, followed by delivery and installation, is scheduled for the first quarter of the year. * 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. Initial drilling and H-pile installation has revealed unknown existing conditions that requires the contractor to re-sequence the work, but has not stopped progress at the site. * Hill – Masonry work has progressed with concrete block first floor structural wall installation. The masonry work will continue with the faηade brick and stone finishes. While the building is progressing, site work will also be completed for utilities. The precast rood plank installation and excavation, followed by conduit installation. Delay Explanation: * Unforeseen underground conditions have been encountered within CTA right of way at Armitage Substation. * High water table on site at Armitage caused CDOT to request a site dewatering plan for future excavation work.

Slide #9 Justification of Need: The existing bus hoists are beyond their useful life and many are not functioning. Priority of Project: High Construction Phase Phase 1: 77th/South Shops/ Forest Glen Phase 2: Kedzie Phase 2: North Park Phase 2: Chicago/103rd Bus Hoist Equipment Contract Value: $1,668,052 $1,163,892 $779,769 $1,066,901 Construction Contract Value: $2,663,345 $3,145,143 $1,869,630 $2,820,651 Construction Value Earned to Date: $4,288,084 $4,227,808 $2,251,989 $452,843 Percent Change Orders to Construction Contract: 25% 0% 0% 0% Percent Time Used to Date: 99% 99% 79% 20% Estimated Start and Completion Date: NTP 11/21/12 Projected completion 10/18/13. NTP 3/4/13 Projected completion 12/20/13. NTP 6/24/13 Projected completion 3/5/14. NTP 9/10/13 Projected completion 7/9/14. Designer of Record: TranSystems Corporation Contractor Paul Borg Kiewit F.H. Paschen F.H. Paschen Project Manager: Steve Mascheri (GM); Shawn Riley (PM); Jacobs (CM) Funding Source: FTA and RTA Grants * Replacement of bus maintenance lifts including drainage, electrical work, and maintenance pads. * Project has been sequenced to mitigate interference to CTA Bus Operations. Slide #10 Project Title: Bus Hoist Replacement Program Managing Department: Facilities Construction * Impact on Customers: NA * Benefit to System: Improved capacity for maintenance facilities and reliable equipment for bus operations. * Benefit to Community: NA * Impact on Accessibility: None * Estimated # of Jobs Created: 80 (Phase 1 through 4) * Customer Communication Need: None * Comparable Projects: NA Slide #11 Project Title: Bus Hoist Replacement Program Managing Department: Facilities Construction Construction Progress * Phase 1: * Forest Glen – Close out in progress. * South Shops – Close out in progress * 77th Garage – Close out in progress. * Phase 2: * Kedzie Garage – 12 lifts total: 12 lifts installed. Punch list and substantial completion have been issued. * North Park Garage – 13 lifts total: 9 lifts installed. Phase 3 started on 12/16/13 for the remaining 4 lifts. * 103rd and Chicago Garages – NTP issued on 09/10/13. Chicago Garage – Phase1 scheduled to be complete by February 2014. 103rd Garage – Phase 1 scheduled to be complete by march 2014. Delay Explanation: * Phase 1: Due to elevation of the existing drainage lines they could not be reused and new lines needed to be installed. * Phase 2: Equipment installation dates were extended to better accommodate installation of hoists and minimize impact to bus operations.
