The MBTA’s Fiscal and Management Control Board approved a contract with Barletta Heavy Division for the construction of improvements to the Wellington Maintenance Facility, which will prepare the location for the arrival of new Orange Line vehicles. The cost of the Wellington Maintenance Facility project through fiscal year 2018 is USD 98.28 million.
The Wellington Maintenance Facility project intends to rehabilitate the Wellington Carhouse in Medford in order to improve the reliability of the upcoming 152 new Orange Line cars by providing an updated maintenance facility. Improvements to Wellington Maintenance Facility include an expansion of the carhouse by one service bay to allow for the maintenance of an enlarged Orange Line fleet, rehabilitation and modernization of the existing lifts, cranes, wheel truing machinery, roof, MEP, and other updates, the addition of elevators and other accessibility accommodations, and a new electronics room for new vehicles.
Four bids were received for the project and Barletta Heavy Division provided the lowest bid of USD 72.58 million.
The Wellington Maintenance Facility construction project is one element of the Red Line/Orange Line Infrastructure Improvements Program.
