Advanced Conceptual Engineering
Advanced Conceptual Engineering ACE drawings serve the following purpose on a design-build project: Show general configuration of the project Assist in establishing scope of the project Discover/resolve any potentially significant issues prior to award of the design-build contract Process/Schedule: Activity Authority releases ACE package to corridor cities, SCRRA, SANBAG, and Metro Each agency/city reviews the ACE package and submits comments to Authority Authority addresses all comments and then sends a verification set to cities/agencies Each agency/city reviews the verification set to confirm comments were addressed Duration/Time October 2016 60 day review/comment period from receipt of ACE package Spring 2017 60 day review/comment period from receipt of verification set
Differences with Previous Segment Approximately four times number of parking spaces Use of pedestrian undercrossings/overcrossings at stations Placing station communications and power equipment in parking structure in lieu of standalone structures Addition of fare gates and expanded ticket vending canopies All stations have center platforms All stations have public entrances on both sides Larger Parking Facilities Undercrossing/Overcrossings at all Stations
Project Challenges Freight/Metrolink Track Relocation Both BNSF and Metrolink service must stay operational during construction Will have to move the freight/metrolink track first, before building the light rail tracks Two projects in one; adding complication and time to construction Relocation of Claremont Metrolink Station 47 Total Crossings; 27 At-Grade Street Crossings 24 New/Renovated Bridge Structures Large Number of Third Parties; Two Counties
Glendora to Montclair Grade Crossings Glendora to Montclair segment contains 47 total crossings 27 at-grade crossings 10 pedestrian crossings (for station access) 10 grade separated crossings Two (2) at-grade crossings currently under review for grade separation Bonita / Cataract, San Dimas Indian Hill, Claremont Two (2) pedestrian crossings currently under review for grade separation San Dimas station pedestrian crossing La Verne station pedestrian crossing

Glendora to Montclair Project Schedule Advanced Conceptual Engineering and coordination meetings with cities and SCRRA have allowed for better understanding of project s constructability and constraints (grade-crossings, Metrolink and freight track relocation (rebuild), and Claremont Station relocation) Constraints have been integrated into construction phasing plan established a 7,000-item activity schedule Construction Authority will break ground in October 2017 using residual Measure R First year - move utilities, conduct pre-construction activities and hire design-build team Measure M funding is expected to be available in 2019 Design-Build Alignment project will take 6-7 years, following Measure M funding
