During the past two decades, sustained growth in Dallas and Fort Worth has increased travel demands along the major roadways within the TEXRail corridor.
Existing and committed roadway improvements have not kept pace with traffic volume, resulting in increased congestion and air pollution. TEXRail is one of several transit improvements aiming to address these issues and Jacobs served as program manager for the new TEXRail line, which officially opened in January 2019.
The new commuter rail line crosses 27 miles over nine stops and three cities – from Fort Worth, North Richland Hills and Grapevine to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport. By the end of the first year of operation, Trinity Metro’s new line is expected to serve more than 8,000 daily riders. By 2035, nearly 14,000 riders are projected to ride.
Our full scope of work on TEXRail encompassed:
-Project controls, including scheduling, cost control, document control and configuration management services.
-Value engineering, risk assessment and cost-estimating.
-Oversight of preliminary engineering and environmental services.
-Development and implementation of a community outreach plan.
-Assistance with negotiations for trackage/access rights with host railroads for construction, operation and maintenance of the corridor.
-Development of a procurement plan and procurement support services for professional, construction and rolling stock services.
-Oversight and quality assurance of final design and construction.
-Development and implementation of system safety and security initiatives.
-Start-up and commissioning services.
In 2019, the Construction Management Association of America awarded the project a Project Achievement Award in the Transportation – Constructed Value Greater Than $100 Million category.
