Abstract:At the request of UMTA, a study team was formed on July 29, 1983 at the Transportation Systems Center (TSC) to conduct a review of the project management and grant monitoring procedures employed by the UMTA Regional Offices in projects involving large construction. The purpose of this review was to document the current construction management oversight practices within UMTA and other agencies, and to provide a list of construction management options for additional oversight actions. At UMTA's direction, the study team focused its review on new rail system construction. UMTA's construction management oversight practices on transit construction projects were compared with those of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank). Interviews were also held with the technical staff of these funding agencies and several UMTA regional offices. Those interviews were supplemented by substantial input and review by UMTA senior staff.ยท The study team also interviewed UMTA grantees as well as some of their consultants. These include: MBTA/Boston, MARTA/Atlanta, DCTA/Miami, NFTA/Buffalo, WMATA/Washington, and MTA/Baltimore.
