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 – Dielectric flooring has been installed, and passed initial tests. 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. De-watering of the site will begin once the exterior foundations have been replaced. Site utilities will be installed this quarter. * 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: * Due to testing challenges, traction power equipment could not be shipped until it was repaired and passed re-testing. * 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.

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. Three week delay at 103rd Garage due to failed drainage (sump pump) equipment.

Slide #18 Project Title: Milwaukee Blue Line Track Renewal Impact on Customers: Ten line cuts and two single tracks. Street and lane closures around worksites, curtailed access to resident garages under right of way. Bus shuttles required on line cut weekends. Benefit to System: Reduced maintenance costs; Improved reliability; New Infrastructure. Benefit to Community: Improved customer travel times by eliminating slow zones. Impact on Accessibility: None. Estimated # of Jobs Created: 82 Customer Communication Need: Construction activity notices will be needed to alert businesses and residents to weekend, night work and power outages.
