PREFACE HNTB has produced a Contract Time Determination (CTD) study for the procurement and installation of the communications and security scope of the Green Line Security Improvements project. The CTD was developed to provide validation of the overall conceptual duration of the project and to identify the work items that are critical for timely completion using the Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling technique. The construction sequence shown in this CTD is based on Bid Package submittals and discussions with MBTA that determined calendar restrictions and sequence of work. Note that this CTD is based on a specific suggested construction approach that successfully completes the work described in the design documents. The CTD is included in Attachment A. 2. SUMMARY The CTD concludes that an adequate construction duration to complete the project from Notice to Proceed (NTP) to Project Substantial Completion is 257 calendar days (approximately eight and a half months) and from Notice to Proceed (NTP) to Project Final Completion is 287 calendar days (approximately nine and a half months). This duration is based on the following milestones: 3 MBTA SYSTEM WIDE STATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT BD CTD 3. REFERENCE The schedule was developed using the information contained in the following documents: • Green Line Security Improvements BD Submittals 4. METHODOLOGY The schedule was prepared using Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling techniques to estimate the conceptual project duration. Primavera P6 Professional (P6-V18) was used to develop the CPM schedule. The overall scope of work was identified and analyzed based on the information from plans and specifications. The project scope was further broken down into a discrete Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and unique items of work (activities). See Section 5, “Work Breakdown Structure WBS” for detail. The duration of activities was then analyzed based on production rates, and relevant calendars were assigned. After defining the activities, logical relationships and interdependencies between the activities were created to reflect the suggested sequence in which work will be performed. The schedule was then calculated to determine the overall conceptual project duration based on the activity durations and logical sequence of the activities. Note that this schedule represents one approach to completing this section of the project. During the construction phase of this project, the Contractor may present an alternative approach to construction that alters the order of activities and modifies the schedule. This schedule does not limit the Contractor’s means and methods. 4 MBTA SYSTEM WIDE STATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT BD CTD 5. WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE The WBS was developed as a functional breakdown of the project scope based on geographical position as well as work type. The top section of the schedule presents summary of work. Shown below is a sample representation of the WBS: 6. BASIS & ASSUMPTIONS & RISKS The construction durations in the Contract Time Determination Schedule (CTD) are based on information generated in the Green Line Security Improvements 100% submittals. • Construction work to be continuous and uninterrupted. • The schedule assumes no resources constraints. Adequate skilled labor is locally available as well as equipment and materials. • The schedule assumes two crews work simultaneously, one starting at Arlington station and the other at Prudential station. • The schedule assumes activities “Emergency Intercom/Phones,” “Access Control,” and “CCTV” will start when 50% of “Conduit & Cable Installation” is completed at each station (Use SS relationship with positive lags). 5 MBTA SYSTEM WIDE STATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT BD CTD 7. CRITICAL PATH The project critical path is the longest continuous path of activities throughout the project. The critical path determines the completion date of the project. A delay in any of the activities on the critical path will delay the completion date of the project. The Longest Path begins with NTP on Apr 01, 2021. This is followed by project submittals and procurement activities. • Stations Starting with Boylston and Prudential stations, the Critical Path is followed by “Conduit & Cable Installation” activities. Critical path work continues with activities of Copley, Arlington and Riverside stations. Project substantial completion is achieved on Dec 14, 2021. • Project Closeout Final Completion occurs on Jan 13, 2022. 8. CALENDARS The SSSI Contract Time Determination (CTD) Schedules utilizes two (2) project- specific calendars. Listed below is each calendar with a brief description. • MBTA – SSSI – 5D/8H W/H – This calendar utilizes a five (5) day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), eight (8) hour workweek. It is expected that the eight-hour shift occurs between 8 AM and 4 PM unless otherwise approved by MBTA. This calendar excludes work on six (6) holidays (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Week, and Christmas Day) per year. No work during the week of Thanksgiving. 6 MBTA SYSTEM WIDE STATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT BD CTD • MBTA - 7 DAY – NO HOL – This calendar was used for submittals and procurement. 9. ATTACHMENTS A.

    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT

    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

  • Final Environmental Impact Report

    Final Environmental Impact Report

    July 24, 2015 Matthew A. Beaton, Secretary Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs Attention: MEPA Office – Holly Johnson, MEPA #14590 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 RE: The Station at Riverside, MEPA #14590 Dear Secretary Beaton: The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) regularly reviews proposals deemed to have regional impacts. The Council reviews proposed projects for consistency with MetroFuture, the regional policy plan for the Boston metropolitan area, the Commonwealth’s Sustainable Development Principles, the GreenDOT initiative, consistency with Complete Streets policies and design approaches, as well as impacts on the environment. BH Normandy Riverside, the Proponent, proposes to redevelop an MBTA property at Riverside Station on Grove Street in Newton, off Exit 22 of Interstate 95 (Route 128). Since the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) filing in 2011, the proposed project has been downsized, but still is a significant development project in Greater Boston. The current proposal is for a mixed-use redevelopment in and around the current parking lot for the MBTA’s Riverside Station, the western terminus of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch light rail line. The project site is defined as the 22.35 acres owned by the MBTA, which currently consists of the MBTA rail yard operations, a Green Line maintenance facility, a bus terminal facility, and surface parking. A 9.38-acre parcel will be leased to the Proponent for redevelopment. An Intermodal Commuter Facility (ICF) will be constructed on approximately 2.11 acres and will be operated by the MBTA. The MBTA will continue its operations on the remaining approximately 10.86 acres.

    Massachusetts House of Representatives: Upgrading Greater Boston MBTA Rail System St

    Massachusetts House of Representatives: Upgrading Greater Boston MBTA Rail System St. John’s Preparatory School - Danvers, Massachusetts - December 2020 Letter from the Chairs Dear Delegates, My name is Brett Butler. I am a Senior at St. John’s Prep, and I will serve as your chair for the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Railway Service. I have been involved in Model UN at the Prep for 5 years. Outside of Model UN, I am on the SJP Tennis Team, an Eagles’ Wings Leader, a member of Spire Society, a member of the National Honor Society, and a member of the Chinese National Honor Society. The topic of Railway Service has really fascinated me, since my father is an executive in the FTA (Federal Transit Administration), which is part of the DOT (Department of Transportation), and he has been my inspiration for my research into this topic. Also, I am a frequent passenger on the “T” and Commuter Rail (as well as commuter rail and subway services in many different cities such as Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Montreal). Thus, I recommend that you read through this paper as well as to do your own research on the frequency, extension, and public trust in the Greater Boston Railway Service. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns! I will be happy to assist you, and I look forward to meeting you in December! Thank you, Brett Butler ‘21 ([email protected]) Chair, Massachusetts House of Representatives on Railway Service, SJPMUN XV Dear Delegates, My name is Brendan O’Friel.

    Riverside Station Compiled Comments and Responses March 20 - June 19, 2020 Riverside Station – Response to Comments June 19, 2020 Responses to Comments Related to Site Design 1. Are we sure that no mature trees will be cut on the east side of Grove street? Adding buildings, stoops, 8’ sidewalk and 10’ cycle track would suggest otherwise. Response The project will not be cutting trees on the east (golf course) side of the site. The trees on the west (project) side of the site will be cleared for the items listed above. It would not be possible to accommodate the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and maintain the existing trees on the west side. 2. Could space be made for community gardens? Perhaps behind Building 1 and rooftops gardens? Response Community gardens are relatively land-intensive and are not being considered for the open spaces. The area behind Building 1 is owned by the MBTA and no longer part of the development parcel. The building rooftops cannot be made accessible to residents as doing so would require adding a partial story to a building to allow access. 3. Implementation of noise reducing building components and/or landscaping to protect the neighborhoods of Lower Falls and the and the residents of Riverside along Rt 128. Response Buildings 1 and 2 would largely shield the neighborhoods of Lower Falls from any noise generated from within the site. These buildings (office and hotel) have no external balconies facing the highway and would act as a buffer. 4. Regarding the amphitheater, it was stated that there is an area for stage performances at the top of the amphitheater next to the playground.
