Two of the three shortlisted companies for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line Extension (GLX) project announced that they are able to implement the project under the USD 1.319 billion Affordability Limit.
The certifications received by the MBTA come as part of the Final Request for Proposals and allow the project to continue into its next phase. “Certification of two of the short-listed Design-Build teams is a significant achievement toward extending the Green Line into Somerville and Medford. Certification of the project’s affordability ensures the project proposals are competitive, and that it can be built out with the established budget, and brings the vision of Green Line service one major step forward for our customers,” MBTA General Manager Luis Manuel Ramírez said.
In addition to the Affordability Limit, the Final RFP also included a base scope of work and “Additive Options” only to be included in the project scope should teams affirm that the options can be completed within both the project schedule and the Affordability Limit.
The Green Line extension project involves the development of transit services in Greater Boston. The 7 km line will connect Somerville and Medford.
