Project Management Oversight (PMO) Capital Projects

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.

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.

This project funds the complete rehabilitation of the 79th Street, 87th Street and 103rd Street Stations in Chicago along with the Metra Electric (ME) Line. The project scope includes the repair or replacement of aging shelter enclosures, station lighting upgrades, and platform renovation work. Additional project elements may include but are not limited to, sidewalk repairs, upgraded bike facilities, landscape enhancements, bench repairs, and other related work as needed. The station will be made fully ADA accessible upon completion of the project.

Bus Tracker Signs - Production of new electric signs and associated installation costs to provide real-time bus information to riders. In 2021, ten will be replacements for Pulse Milwaukee Line vertical markers, while an additional ten will be for new locations.

Funding will provide for second installment of funds to rehabilitate and/or replace elevators throughout the system. This funding along with the granted Rebuild Illinois funds provide in part for phase one of the program. For the Elevator Replacement Program, complete inspection of an elevator will need to be conducted to identify all deficiencies. Once inspections are complete, the CTA will need to determine whether rehabilitation or replacement is warranted. The individual scope of work for each elevator will vary depending on its condition and elevator type (machine room-less (MRL), geared, gearless, or hydraulic). Inspections of all components of the following systems are required to determine the full scope of work at each individual elevator and to determine whether rehabilitation or replacement is warranted:• Mechanical Systems• Electrical Systems• Material Finishes• Control Systems• Communication Systems• Security Systems• Structural Members• ADA Code Compliance • Municipality Building Code Compliance

State of Good Repair projects and replacing obsolete equipment on CTA rail signal system

Funding for this project will provide for an ongoing capital maintenance program that consists of tasks necessary to keep buses in service through systematic inspection, detection, and prevention of incipient failure. CTA’s scheduled maintenance program consists of planned preventive maintenance work to maintain bus performance. While major overhaul work is performed on a mid-life cycle basis, additional focused maintenance work is required at certain intervals, outside of the mid-life overhaul, during the life of buses. When certain maintenance tasks are needed to repair or replace, before it reaches its end of useful life and failing with an increased frequency, specific component campaign work is conducted.

This project will replace the heating system for two facility buildings at the 47th Street Yard. The project scope includes the procurement and installation of boilers, piping, fixtures, and other equipment for the Diesel and Car maintenance shops.

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.

This project involves the life?extending rehabilitation of up to 85 commuter cars,originally built by the Budd Company between 1974 and 1978, last rehabilitatedbetween 1990 and 1993. The rehab includes, but is not limited to, replacementand/or repair to electrical and control lines, heating and lighting systems,replacement of seats, floors, walls, AC units, overhaul of trucks, replacement of allwindows, door mechanisms, and emergency lighting requirements, etc..
