Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation announced today
that LAX Integrated Express Solutions (LINXS), of which it is a
member with a ten percent share, has finalized a contract with Los
Angeles World Airports to design, build, finance, operate and
maintain an automated people mover (APM) system at Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX). The total contract is valued at
approximately $4.9 billion US (4.2 billion euro). LINXS has
attributed two contracts to joint ventures (JVs): one for the
design-build portion and one for the operations and maintenance
portion. The JV in charge of the design and build portion has
awarded a contract to Bombardier valued at approximately $219
million US (187 million euro). In addition, Bombardier has a 55
percent share in the operations and maintenance JV, which was
awarded a contract valued at $576 million US (490 million euro).
The financial close of this Public-Private Partnership contract
follows an announcement made by Los Angeles World Airports on
February 15 selecting LINXS as the Recommended Developer, and
contract signature in April.
Bombardier will be responsible for the design and supply of 44
BOMBARDIER INNOVIA APM 300 vehicles, signalling, and onboard and
wayside communication systems, and will lead a joint venture that
will provide operations and maintenance services for the system and
related facilities for a 25-year period, following completion of
the construction.
Benoit Brossoit, President, Americas Region, Bombardier
Transportation, said, “We are proud to be a member of the LINXS
team and to partner with Los Angeles International Airport in
bringing a new mobility option to the traveling public. With this
contract, nine of the ten busiest airports in the United States
have chosen Bombardier for their automated transit systems. We are
confident that we will deliver Los Angeles a modern and dependable
APM system worthy of a world-class airport.”
Bombardier has been designing, building, operating and
maintaining automated transit systems for airports and cities
around the world for nearly 50 years. Bombardier’s INNOVIA APM 300
vehicles, utilizing the highly-proven BOMBARDIER CITYFLO 650
automatic train control system, represent the latest generation of
driverless APM technology.
LAX is the fifth busiest airport in the world, and second
busiest in the United States. The new APM system is one component
of the airport’s Landside Access Modernization Program. The system
will run on a 2.25-mile (3.6 km) elevated dual-lane guideway with
six stations and create new connections between the airport, public
and private transportation, and a new consolidated rental car
facility. The system will be built using a Public-Private
Partnership contracting model, the first automated people mover
system to be procured this way in the United States.
In addition to Bombardier, the LINXS consortium
is comprised of ACS Infrastructure Development, Inc., Balfour
Beatty Investments, Inc, Fluor Enterprises, Inc., and HOCHTIEF PPP
Solutions North America, Inc.
