Sound Transit has awarded South County Transit Partners, a joint venture of Mott MacDonald and SNC-Lavalin, a contract for the design-build project management of the Federal Way Link Extension in the Seattle area. The contract initially covers the preconstruction period up to the award of the design-build contract, also known as Phase 1.
The Federal Way Link Extension project, a 12.5 km extension of a regional light rail line with three elevated stations, will be Sound Transit’s largest design-build contract to date, valued at USD 1 billion. The project will extend regional light rail service from the Angle Lake Station to the Federal Way Transit Center. New stations will be constructed near Kent Des Moines Road, South 272nd Street, and the Federal Way Transit Center, and are expected to be open for service in 2024.
For Phase 1 of the project, South County Transit Partners will support the process leading up to the execution of the design-build contract. For Phase 2 (design-build project management), the joint venture is expected to provide project management services during design and construction.
Services and responsibilities under the design-build project management contract include resident engineering, project controls and scheduling, change management, technical support and inspection, and quality assurance and quality control activities.
