Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Project Management Oversight (PMO) Services

Lea+Elliott has a long history of providing services to the FTA. Since 1987, our firm has played an integral role on various FTA projects; the most significant being our recurring role on FTA’s project management oversight contract for large capital projects. We served as an extension of FTA staff during our first project management oversight contract in 1998, providing project management oversight, construction management and value engineering throughout the United States. During this time, our work focused on the San Francisco BART Capacity Expansion Program and the BART Rail System Airport and Colma Extensions, SEPTA’s Frankford Elevated Reconstruction Project, and the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority’s Restoration of Passenger Rail Service Project.

In our current PMO contract, Lea+Elliott has been selected to provide monitoring, overview and quality assurance services during the 2003-2008 term. Our first project brings us to  New York City where we are part of a multi-consultant team performing oversight of the Fulton Street Transportation Center project and the South Ferry Terminal project. These projects are two of the three major projects which make up a $4 billion federally funded program to address transportation and economic development needs in lower Manhattan in the wake of the September 11th World Trade Center impacts. Lea+Elliott is responsible for all systems elements of the project oversight for the PMO team including signals, power, mechanical, electrical and interface issues.  In addition to systems, we are contributing to the team’s work in Risk Assessment for both projects and monitoring other issues including real estate, historic preservation, permitting, QA/QC, operating plans, utility relocation, safety, schedules, construction logistics, standards and staffing/resources issues for each project.
