Providing Complete Program/Construction Management
|
The Federal Transit Administration-sponsored airport extension project was BART's first experience with a design-build project delivery system, and the GEC provided a wide range of services, including program management, design and design review, procurement management, design support during construction, quality assurance/quality control and construction management. PB also assisted with testing and start-up for the extension, and helped integrate the extended BART system with existing and new airport facilities, provided IT and technical support, and supported all close-out activities.
PB's Program Manager for the BART San Francisco Airport Extension was Ashok Kothari. "By any standard, the BART Extensions Program is outstanding," said Jim Van Epps, BART Executive Manager, West Bay Extensions. "Throughout the project, no matter how complex or technically difficult the issue, PB and the joint venture staff led by Ashok Kothari have responded within 24 hours of notification and ultimately resolved the issue."
