Hill International to Provide Construction Support Services for LA Metro’s I-5 Improvement Project in Northern Los Angeles ...
November 19 2020 - 8:00AM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL) (Hill), the global leader in
managing construction risk, announced today that it has been
selected by the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and awarded a
contract to provide construction support services for a significant
improvement project on U.S. Interstate 5 (I-5).
In cooperation with Caltrans District 7, Metro
is undertaking a project to improve road conditions of the I-5 as
it passes through northern Los Angeles County in the area of Santa
Clarita—an approximately 40-minute drive from downtown Los Angeles.
The work will extend from the I-5/SR 14 interchange to Parker Road
in Santa Clarita and Los Angeles County. This nearly 14-mile
stretch covers other major interchanges including State Route 126
and Magic Mountain Parkway. Improvements include the addition of
high-occupancy vehicle lanes along the median of I-5, the creation
of and maintenance of existing truck lanes, and the construction of
auxiliary lanes between on-ramps and subsequent off-ramps. The
project will also involve intelligent transportation system
improvements, including traffic count stations, closed-circuit
television cameras, and ramp metering. These improvements will
enable the road to handle more traffic at peak hours and provide a
safer and faster commute for the residents of northern Los Angeles
County.
“In Los Angeles, traffic affects our quality of
life substantially,” says Hill Vice President and project Senior
Construction Engineer David Tiberi, PE. “By undertaking
infrastructure improvement projects, Metro is saving time and money
for the millions of people who live and work in Los Angeles County.
Our local team is ready to support Metro’s project with
high-quality construction support services and help deliver the
work on time and under budget.”
As the construction support services consultant,
Hill will assist Metro staff in providing construction management
oversight for the project. Hill’s support services will begin in
the contract procurement phase, continue through pre-construction
activities and construction, and culminate in the construction
contract closeout. Our professionals will support Metro during
inspections, provide administrative support, and offer various
technical assistance through the lifecycle of the project. Hill
will also help manage and confirm compliance with contract
requirements and government regulations.
“We’re proud to continue offering our services
to Metro—a client we are fortunate to have supported on many
transportation projects over the years,” says Hill Chief Executive
Officer Raouf Ghali. “Our teams have also accrued valuable
experience supporting other I-5 improvement projects with different
government agencies, such as the Orange County Transportation
Authority. These projects are critical to keeping Southern
California moving and we look forward to bringing the
industry-leading services our teams regularly provide throughout
the region to Metro’s I-5 improvement project.”
