The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) contracted with Fluor for project management oversight services on $1.9 billion worth of locally funded rail projects and for project management assistance on locally and federally funded projects worth multibillions.

The project management oversight responsibility included reviewing LACMTA documents, contracts, policies, procedures and practices and reviewing and monitoring engineering management and construction management activities. The project management assistance responsibilities encompassed a variety of tasks such as management reviews, cost management reviews, constructability and claims avoidance reviews, design quality reviews, total quality management training, safety audits and safety education, quality assurance/quality control audits, technical engineering assistance and other special studies.

For the Pasadena Blue Line (now the Gold Line), we participated in value engineering workshops and also reviewed scope modifications to the project that would result in major cost savings without compromising the basic functional needs of the transportation system.

For the Metro Red Line, we provided recommendations that resulted in the repackaging of construction contracts, resequencing of tunnel boring operations, and revision of bid documents, which led to significant cost savings and avoidance of potential claims during construction.
