MBTA Acts on Green Line Extension Contracts

Control Board to also make changes in GLX project management

BOSTON – Thursday, December 10, 2015 – Following a joint meeting of the MassDOT Board of Directors and the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB), MBTA General Manager Frank DePaola today notified several firms working on the Green Line Extension project that the MBTA is acting to end their current contracts.  The FMCB is also planning to restructure the MBTA’s GLX project management team and is taking other actions, which will include appointing a new interim project manager.

The moves follow a meeting yesterday at which the boards met to consider options for the project.  Both boards had been earlier briefed on a Look Back review that identified flaws in the implementation of the construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC) project delivery method.  That review also found that unrealistic schedule demands drove decision-making and costs.  The FMCB directed T General Manager DePaola to notify the MBTA’s CM/GC (White-Skanska-Kiewit), the MBTA’s Project Manager/Construction Manager (HDR/Gilbane), the MBTA’s Independent Cost Estimator (Stanton Constructability Services), and the MBTA’s final designer (AECOM/HNTB) of the decision.

The decision marks the start of a transitional period, during which no new construction work will be awarded.  During this time, however, much of the construction work that is already under contract and in progress will continue.
