MONTREAL, June 19, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce that its Atkins business has been
selected as part of the team to provide systems engineering
services and support to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (LA Metro), which is currently overseeing
an ambitious effort to expand rail and bus services throughout
Los Angeles County in preparation
for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. LA Metro embarked on an
ambitious program last year to expand rail and bus transit over the
next 10 years.
"The scale of planned investment in Los Angeles for this program is extraordinary,
representing a unique opportunity for LA Metro to transform the
region forever," said George Nash,
CEO, Atkins, North America,
SNC-Lavalin. "We look forward to contributing to the transformation
through our extensive experience in systems engineering and
hands-on expertise."
The task order-based seven-year contract, with three one-year
options, has an estimated $30 million
USD (approx. $40 million CAD)
value. The project includes system engineering design and other
related services, supplementing LA Metro's Engineering Department
resources in support of capital projects, state of good repair and
joint venture projects for both rail and bus rapid transit.
SNC-Lavalin's Atkins business will work as a subconsultant to
SECOTrans.
Several of the projects included in the program are expected to
be accelerated due to Mayor Eric
Garcetti's recently proposed "Twenty-eight by '28'"
initiative, which seeks to complete 28 major road, transit and
bicycle projects before the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic
Games to take place in the Los
Angeles area.
Some of the services to be performed as a member of the systems
engineering consultant team include:
- Conceptual to final engineering designs
- Project estimates and constructability reviews
- Technical analysis and studies
- Design services during construction
