December 03 2020 - 8:00AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in program
and construction management and managing risk, announced today it
was awarded a contract to provide Project Management Support
Services to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA)
for the LinkUS and BNSF components of the Southern California
Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) program. The $10 billion SCORE
program will achieve SCRRA’s 2028 service vision, which coincides
with the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and SCRRA’s
2015-2025 Strategic Plan. Hill is supporting SCORE as part of a $50
million on-call PM/CM contract with the SCRRA, awarded in March
2020.
Hill Vice President, California Rail/Transit Practice Leader
Mary Toutounchi, PE, will lead the Hill team’s work. “These
projects are vital to realizing the goals of the SCORE program, and
to realize them on time and within budget,” Toutounchi explains.
“Coordinating work and managing interfaces with ridership,
regulatory agencies, and the impacted communities along the
alignments will be critical to keeping work progressing as
planned.” Toutounchi notes that Hill’s work on similarly complex
and ambitious rail programs in Southern California gives the team
the tools to support SCRRA manage the project successfully.
The LinkUS project will renovate and modernize a
1939 station to improve the ridership experience for SCRRA, Amtrak,
and the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) by delivering
a new and modern concourse, and enable run-through services by
constructing run-through tracks on a new viaduct over Highway 101.
The BNSF component consists of a series of projects along the BNSF
San Bernardino Subdivision (SBS) to enhance safety, reliability,
and capacity of freight and passenger train operations. Hill’s
professionals will monitor the program and verify costs, schedule,
and final outcomes of the projects meet the objectives of the SCORE
program.
Hill Chief Executive Officer Raouf Ghali says of the award:
“Transit infrastructure in Southern California is always a
priority, both in terms of improvements and maintenance. The SCORE
program exemplifies the commitment of California’s taxpayers to
smart, efficient, and sustainable public transit, and these two
projects showcase that commitment. Hill specializes in complex rail
programs and projects, and LinkUS and BNSF will be significant
additions to our California rail portfolio.”
