Capital and Strategic Planning Committee Item III - A May 10, 2018 FY2018 Third Quarter Capital Program Updates Page 4 of 44
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary Action Information MEAD Number: 201991 Resolution: Yes No TITLE: FY2018 Third Quarter Capital Program Update PRESENTATION SUMMARY: This presentation provides an overview of Metro s performance in executing the FY2018 Capital Program from both a project delivery and benefits to customers perspectives. The presentation highlights key investments that were delivered or progressed significantly during FY2018. PURPOSE: Management will update the Capital and Strategic Planning Committee on the status, delivery and success of the FY2018 Capital Program through the third quarter. DESCRIPTION: Key Highlights: $810 million of capital investments were made through Q3. Full year capital investment is forecasted between $1.17 and 1.25 billion, compared to a budget of $1.25 billion. Capital investments are a major contributor to Metro customers riding experience. Customers are experiencing less rail offloads due to power and equipment failures and an increase in bus on-time performance. Escalator and elevator availability have met or exceeded target. Background and History: Metro invested $810 million in its capital program through March, compared to a budget of $902 million. Full year capital investment is forecasted between $1.17 and $1.25 billion, compared to a budget of $1,250 million. Discussion: Programmatic investments in nine key focus areas represent 75% of capital investment in FY2018. Page 5 of 44
FUNDING IMPACT: Railcars Investment: Metro placed 520, 7000 series railcars into revenue service by March 30th. Railcar series 1000 and 4000 were disposed and 130, 5000 series railcars were removed from passenger service. Metro s railcars investments contributed to increased reliability with trains traveling 113,000 miles before an incident; and a nearly 37% decline in customer offloads due to equipment failure. Rail Infrastructure Power: Completed installation of 7,538 orange boots on the entire mainline and 8,651 linear feet of cables off the ground in the underground section. Metro installed six tie breakers, four traction power substations, and three uninterruptable power supply. The completion of power projects contributed to a 46% reduction in train offloads due to power issues. Rail Infrastructure Track and Structures Rehabilitation and Red Line Water Mitigation: Metro experienced a 48% reduction in speed restrictions due to improved track. As of third quarter of FY2018, Metro is above or on target with its planned deliverables for structural concrete poured, deck joints, grout pads, fastners, and running rail. Metro added Red Line Leak Mitigation to its FY2018 deliverables. Structural concrete poured and grout pads increased planned deliverable to address defects. Plannned deliverables for leak mitigation and drain rehabilitation are behind schedule due to reallocating resources to higher priorities. Cellular Phone and Radio System Upgrade: Customers benefited from underground cell phone service between Metro Center to Potomac Avenue, as well as Benning Road to Addison Road. Metro accelerated delivery of 450 multi-band radios for MTPD officers. The new radios will improve interoperability. Rail Station Lighting: Completed 55 of 61 mezzanine light improvements. Light levels improved at eight Blue/Orange Line Stations. New light fixtures produced a 67% energy savings. Rail Station Improvement - Escalators Replacement: Metro replaced 23 escalators. Escalator availability exceeded the 93% target. Rail Station Improvement - Elevator Replacement: Elevator availability met the target of 97%. Metro rehabilitated 9 elevators. Bus Investment: Delivery of bus replacements are slightly behind schedule due to new regulation requirements. Other bus projects, such as bus rehabilitations, energy storage system replacements and transmission assemblies, are on or ahead of schedule. Bus - Andrews Bus Garage: Work continues on the installation of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior finishes, and site security fencing. The project is 82% complete with a projected service date of July 2019. Information item only - no funding impact. TIMELINE: Page 6 of 44
