FOOTHILL GOLD LINE PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority (also known as the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority) is an independent transportation agency created in 1998 by the California State Legislature to plan, design and build the Metro Gold Line light rail system from Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles to the Montclair TransCenter in San Bernardino County. The $3 billion, 37-mile program is being built in three segments and when completed will connect the cities of Los Angeles, South Pasadena, Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte, Irwindale, Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona, Claremont and Montclair to the expanding network of rail lines throughout Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.
The first segment of the line from Union Station to Pasadena was completed in 2003, and the second segment from Pasadena to Azusa was completed in 2015. The third segment, from Glendora to Montclair (Figure 1) broke ground in December 2017 and is being mostly funded by Los Angeles County Measure M with additional funds coming from: residual Measure R funds not used for the Pasadena to Azusa segment, State of California Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program funds (including SB1 funds), and funding from San Bernardino County. Four contracts are being used to build the 12.3-mile, six station segment which is anticipated to reach substantial completion by 2028, if additional funding is available to exercise the Montclair option.

GLENDORA TO MONTCLAIR MANAGEMENT ISSUES
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR POMONA TO MONTCLAIR
Due to unfavorable economic conditions affecting bid prices, the alignment contract was restructured to terminate in Pomona with a two-year option to extend to Montclair. Approximately $550 million is needed to extend the project from Pomona to Montclair. Staff is working with Metro and other appropriate entities to secure the additional funds needed to complete to project to Montclair.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
On March 19, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-33-20, which mandates that all residents of the State shelter in place. That Order excepted individuals needed to maintain continuity of federal critical infrastructure sectors, as outlined at https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during- covid-19. Transportation, which includes the construction of light rail projects, is identified as an exempt critical infrastructure sector. As such, the project can continue to proceed during the ongoing pandemic. However, the pandemic has resulted in many project participants, including Construction Authority staff, to begin working from home, and has increased the risk of third parties not performing as agreed. Construction Authority staff has been proactively working with all third parties and project stakeholders to ensure the project continues during the pandemic. To date, all third parties and project stakeholders have performed as agreed and no significant disruption to the project has occurred. Staff will continue to do everything possible to keep the project on schedule. Any significant disruption to the project that may occur will be mitigated to the fullest extent possible.
EXTENDED WORK HOURS AT THE GRADE CROSSINGS
The Alignment design-builder, Kiewit Parson Joint Venture (KPJV), made the assumption based on some language in the cities’ MCAs that they could work double shifts (approximately 17-hour days) at the grade crossings in order to comply with the closure durations requirements for the grade crossings. The double shifts result in KPJV needing approval from all four cities for extended work hours beyond the standard work hours allowed in each city. KPJV has been able to obtain general approval for extended work hours from La Verne and Pomona but not Glendora or San Dimas. As a result, KPJV is likely to not

GLENDORA TO MONTCLAIR MANAGEMENT ISSUES (cont’d.)
meet the grade crossing closure durations required by the contract. Furthermore, KPJV has notified the Construction Authority that it will incur additional costs as a result of them not receiving the approval for extended work hours in San Dimas and Glendora, and that KPJV expects the Construction Authority to pay for these additional costs. Staff has evaluated this issue and finds no merit to KPJV’s position that the Construction Authority is responsible for any costs associated with KPJV not receiving general approval from the Glendora or San Dimas for extended work hours. However, staff will continue to work with KPJV and all of the corridor cities to find practical solutions that will keep the duration of work at the grade crossings to a minimum and mitigate any additional costs incurred by KPJV.

Critical Path
The re-design of the Foothill/Grand and Bonita/Cataract Bridges – Post-Tensioning Duct Location Change was added into the previous Update Schedule. The AFC of this re-design drives the start of the of the submittals and procurement for Foothill Blvd/Grand Ave Bridge which in turn commences the start of the construction for the Foothill Blvd/Grade Ave LRT Bridge substructure work. This substructure work drives out the midblock work for Barranca Ave to Grande which in turn drives out the LRT track work that will continue to flow through OCS work into testing, that concludes at Substantial Completion. Due to adding this re-design into the previous Update Schedule, the redesign shifted the longest path that remains in this current Update Schedule.
Project Float
The project float is currently 64 calendar days ahead the January 4, 2025 substantial completion date, which is lost 2 days from the previous schedule update due to the delay of the re-design of the Foothill/Grand – Post-Tensioning Duct Location Change.
