I-105 ExpressLanes Project Pursuit

Kiewit is preparing to respond to the Request for Proposals (PS84667) issued by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for the delivery of the I-105 Expresslanes Project. The deadline is April 26, 2022.

 

Project Overview

The I-105 ExpressLanes project’s objective is to ease traffic for a critical artery in Los Angeles County – essential for access to the Los Angeles International Airport. The I-105 corridor’s demand exceeds capacity during peak commute hours. “By providing an option to bypass traffic between the end of existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes west of the I-405 Freeway in LA to Studebaker Road in Norwalk, this project can improve commutes on the I-105.” – LACMTA

Location

The I-105 corridor is 18.1-miles long and located in the southern part of Los Angeles County, CA beginning at State Route 1 in the City of El Segundo near LAX, and proceeds generally eastward, crossing the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers, intersecting the I 405, I-110, and I-710 freeways before terminating just east of I-605 in the City of Norwalk at Studebaker Road.

The I-105 ExpressLanes will be constructed along approximately 16.1-miles of the 18.1-mile long corridor and traverse the cities of El Segundo, Hawthorne, Los Angeles, Inglewood, Lynwood, South Gate, Paramount, Downey, Norwalk, and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

Project Scope

The Project is divided into three segments and will convert the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane into a High Occupancy Toll Expresslane and will add a second Expresslane in each direction between the I-405 and Studebaker Road, just east of the I-605 freeway. It includes several structure widenings, new soundwalls, new ramp metering and California Highway Patrol enforcement/observation zones. The ExpressLanes will implement active traffic management to improve traffic flow, mobility, trip reliability, and travel times.

ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

  • BEGIN SEGMENT 1 CONSTRUCTION: JANUARY 2024
  • SEGMENT 2/3 CONSTRUCTION: JANUARY 2025
  • END CONSTRUCTION: JANUARY 2028

PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD: Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC)

The CM/GC project delivery method is collaborative and integrates the Owner, Designer and Construction Manager/General Contractor. It consists of two phases: (1) Design and (2) Construction.

When the owner considers the design to be complete, the Construction Manager has an opportunity to bid on the project based on the completed design and schedule. If the owner, designer and independent cost estimator agree that the contractor has submitted a fair price, the owner issues a construction contract and the Construction Manager then becomes the General Contractor.

The contractor acts as the consultant during the design process and can offer constructability and pricing feedback on design options and can identify risks based on the contractor’s established means and methods. This process allows the owner to be an active participant during the design process and make informed decisions on design options based on the contractor’s expertise.
