December 05 2024 - 3:12PM
Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. (“Shimmick”), a leader in
critical infrastructure, water, and transit solutions, announced
today that it has been awarded a key role in the North Hollywood to
Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project by Los Angeles
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro). Shimmick, with
our partner Myers and Sons, as part of the Myers-Shimmick Joint
Venture (MSJV), will serve as the Construction Manager/General
Contractor (CM/GC) for the project's preconstruction services
phase.
The $8.26 million contract for preconstruction services approved
on December 5, 2024, by the LA Metro Board of Supervisors, marks
the beginning of this transformative 19-mile transit corridor
connecting North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and
Pasadena in California. Featuring 22 new stations, this BRT project
will provide faster, more reliable transit options, reduce traffic
congestion, and improve air quality with the use of zero-emission
electric buses. The construction value for the construction phase,
if awarded to Myers-Shimmick Joint Venture by LA Metro, is
estimated at $190 million.
"We are excited to once again partner with Myers and Sons and LA
Metro on this critical infrastructure project to improve mobility
and connectivity for millions of LA County residents," said Ural
Yal, CEO of Shimmick. "We are encouraged to utilize the CM/GC
project delivery method, which allows the entire project team to
work together to address projects risks and set the project up for
success during the construction phase."
The project enhances transit access for disadvantaged Equity
Focus Communities (EFCs) in the project area, including improved
pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and utilizes electric
zero-emission buses to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions.
The preconstruction phase will involve close collaboration
between the Myers-Shimmick team, Metro, and the design team to
refine project designs, ensure cost control, and develop a
comprehensive construction schedule. Early utility work is
scheduled to begin in 2025, with the project slated for completion
by 2028.
