Summary

The City Council previously approved Contract 124053 with Lea+Elliott, Inc. (Lea+Elliott) and two amendments to the contract for the Project.  To date, Lea+Elliott has overseen the design, installation, and testing of the PHX Sky Train system for both of the completed stages, Stage 1 and 1A. Lea+Elliott has also provided technical consulting services for the procurement of the train system provider, Bombardier Transportation USA, Inc. Lea+Elliott's services under Amendment 3 will include providing train system consulting services for Stage 2 of the project, which are required to complete and test the train system extension.

 

This stage of the project will extend the PHX Sky Train from Terminal 3 to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Rental Car Facility. The PHX Sky Train system is composed of the guide beams, running surfaces, electrical propulsion systems, train control systems, train cars, and other improvements. The technical consultant develops the train system design criteria and specifications, assists in negotiating system costs, reviews the system design, inspects the construction, and observes the performance testing of the system.
