Project Management Oversight (PMO) Capital Projects

Construct a new non-revenue vehicle maintenance facility for maintenance and repair of non-revenueequipment. Facility will also include covered storage tracks for track maintenance equipment. Thepurpose of the new Non-Revenue Rail Vehicle Maintenance Facility is to provide facilities formaintenance and repair of over 125 pieces of non-revenue equipment used for right-of-way maintenanceand other rail-mounted non-revenue vehicles.

Elevated Track and Structure Systemwide - Funding will be targeted at preventive maintenance projects for various Infrastructure units such as Track, Structure and Power. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace asset components in order to maintain the working life of rail system, specific component campaign work is conducted. Capital maintenance work is targeted at the following areas:Elevated Track and Structure - repair/rehabilitate track and structure elements in order to eliminate slow zones and upgrade the right-of-way along the elevated structure throughout the rail system.Traction Power Substations - program that repairs and upgrades equipment at various traction power substations currently in service. Tactical upgrades correct deficiencies and avoid service reductions due to failure and overload of aging equipment. Third Rail and Heavy Traction Power Cables - Preventive maintenance work is performed where necessary to repair/replace heavy traction power cables that feed the third rail along the tracks currently in service at various locations throughout the rail system. Rail Signal Systems - Program provides for signal equipment repair along the rail right-of-way, signal equipment on rail cars, and the reconstruction of electronic components of the signal system, including relays and circuit boards. As necessary dedicated small renewals and system modifications are also completed. All work is planned/performed to maintain the asset(s) in proper working order through its quarter life cycle, while a more extensive rehabilitation is planned at the mid-life of the asset.

Funding will be targeted at preventive maintenance projects at various CTA facilities systemwide. These projects will improve CTA's capacity to maintain stations and improve customer comfort and safety. CTA's Facilities department will identify stations for this targeted preventive maintenance work, driven by regular field audits performed by maintenance staff. Projects currently anticipated for this funding source may include leak remediation and grouting in stations; rehabilitation of CTA elevators and escalators (ADA); ceiling, roof or canopy repair / patching; lighting upgrades; painting and signage, among other items. This work will be performed by CTA maintenance forces with material procured as part of this project. Work will be conducted throughout the system and is considered routine preventive maintenance.

North Main Line - RPM The purpose of the Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Program is to expand capacity to meet growing ridership demand; reduce travel times; improve access to job markets and destinations; better utilize existing transit infrastructure; bring the existing infrastructure to a state of good repair; and improve access to the system for patrons with disabilities. FY2021-2025 funds will continue RPM Phase One funding stream.Red Purple Modernization phase one project consists the following interrelated and concurrent projects, as defined in the environmental documents to be developed by the CTA:RED-PURPLE BYPASS PROJECT. This element would construct a fifth track bypass flyover immediately north of the CTA Belmont Station to separate northbound Brown Line trains that currently conflict with southbound Purple Line trains and both northbound and southbound Red Line trains. This project includes construction of a new fifth track bypass flyover and replacement or renovation of approximately 0.3 mile of associated mainline track.LAWRENCE TO BRYN MAWR MODERNIZATION PROJECT. This modernization project would replace 1.3 miles of the existing rail line from Leland Avenue on the south to approximately Ardmore Avenue on the north. This section of track includes four stations - Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn, and Bryn Mawr. The project would expand and modernize these four stations. The project would also provide ADA access to transit customers with disabilities in a two-mile stretch of the north Red Line that currently does not have accessible stations.CORRIDOR SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS. This project would improve the signal system and special trackwork generally between Belmont and Loyola stations. Improvements would occur within CTA's existing right-of-way. The scope of work includes planning, design, procurement, and installation of wayside equipment and special trackwork that are significantly past their useful lives. This project also includes improvements to existing special trackwork.CONTINUED INTERIM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. This project would improve track infrastructure conditions between Belmont Station and Linden Station in order to maintain service along existing rail lines. This work would take place within the CTA's existing right-of-way.

Platform canopies and escalators will be replaced at Irving Park station on the O'Hare Blue Line. This project will address safety and state of good repair needs by replacing the worn and damaged platformcanopies at this station. Platform canopies that are in a state of disrepair allow water infiltration, which can cause damage to additional building materials and equipment and pose a safety risk to bothcustomers and employees. The scope of work for the station canopies includes the demolition and replacement of deteriorated canopy corrugated metal roofs, and repair and modification of the supportingsteel structure. Furthermore, escalators will be replaced at Irving Park Station.

Maintenance Facilities Rehabilitation: Funding will be targeted at preventive maintenance projects at various CTA facilities systemwide. These projects will improve CTA's capacity to maintain stations and improve customer comfort and safety. CTA's Facilities department will identify stations for this targeted preventive maintenance work, driven by regular field audits performed by maintenance staff. Projects currently anticipated for this funding source may include leak remediation and grouting in stations; rehabilitation of CTA elevators and escalators (ADA); ceiling, roof or canopy repair / patching; lighting upgrades; painting and signage, among other items.

Program would address the most immediate critical needs at CTA facilities systemwide to enable theirsafe and reliable operation. The goal would be to have an annual appropriation in the CIP that wouldbe solely dedicated toward addressing this Program. Transit service safety and reliability is affected byout-of-date rail, bus, and maintenance facilities.The project will complete roof replacements at five CTA substations: Calvary, Lotus, Des Plaines,Ashland, and O’Hare. The project will also complete exterior façade repair at the O’Hare Substation,including wall panel and louver replacement, masonry wall and expansion joint repairs, painting, doors,and new surface mounted exterior light fixtures. Design will be completed in-house by CTAengineering staff.

Equipment and Non-Revenue Vehicles (Diesel Locomotives): Funding will provide for the replacement of CTA's diesel locomotive snow fighters. The self-propelled locomotives with special attachments to remove snow and ice during severe winter weather conditions are able to operate and clear system track, so that CTA can safely power up the system to restore/provide service. When traction power is down, this equipment will also be used to move rolling stock to secure locations.

The CTA's Forest Park Blue Line Upgrades Project is the first of four phases of the Forest Park Branch. This project will provide for new trackwork from Halsted to IMD, an accessible station at Racine, advanced utility work, and a new substation and traction power equipment upgrades at Hermitage. This work will enhance service quality via speed, reliability, and comfort, and improve operational efficiency on the Forest Park Branch of CTA's rapid transit Blue Line service.
