Sepulveda Transit Corridor Partners, a US-led team comprising Bechtel, Meridiam Infrastructure and American Triple I Partners, will start developing an innovative and transformative solution for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project following receipt of a Notice to Proceed for Pre-Development Agreement work with Metro, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Bechtel will lead the engineering and constructability of its transit concept with key engineering partners Mott MacDonald, T.Y. Lin, and Systra.
Bechtel and its engineering partners will work with more than 25 disadvantaged business enterprises, provide workforce training in collaboration with Metro’s training academy, and create a pipeline of thousands of well-paying and highly skilled jobs for future generations of Angelenos.
Metro plans to begin the project’s environmental review process later this year, where PDA and other concept designs will be evaluated. Metro will conduct extensive, ongoing public feedback and technical investigation and analysis during this process.
If the Metro Board selects a PDA concept as the Locally Preferred Alternative, or LPA, the selected private sector team may have an opportunity to submit a proposal to build and potentially help finance the project, statement said.
