Parsons Brinckerhoff, STV joint venture wins LACMTA extension contractThe Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) has awarded a contract for environmental and preliminary design services to ConnectLAX for a light-rail extension to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Under the contract, ConnectLAX, a joint venture between Parsons Brinckerhoff and STV, will prepare the alternatives analysis and final environmental impact statement/environmental impact report (EIS/EIR), and complete conceptual engineering to support the final EIS/EIR. The contract includes two phases: environmental approval and preliminary design of the alternative chosen for the extension.
Completion of the EIS/EIR is scheduled for late 2012.
The Green Line LAX extension will link the planned LACMTA station at Century and Aviation, about 1.5 miles from the airport.
The extension is one of several LACMTA capital projects being funded by Measure R, a $40 billion, 30-year transportation improvement program funded by a one-cent sales tax approved by L.A. voters in 2008.
