1.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Beverly Hills (City) is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms interested in providing professional as-needed engineering services for the Westside Purple Line Extension project by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). This request for proposal (RFP) contains a project description, scope of work, evaluation process, general terms and conditions, and the City s template for professional services contract. The intent of the RFP is to solicit proposals to provide as-needed engineering and construction support services for the Westside Purple Line Extension within the City. The project includes a variety of support services outlined in this RFP. This RFP does not commit the City to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and presentation of submittals or to select any interested firms who respond. Tentative Schedule The City has established the following target dates for evaluation and scheduling purposes. The following dates are tentative, non-binding, and are subject to change without prior notice. RFP Release... December 14, 2016 Deadline for Proposers to Submit Questions.....

February 21, 2017 2.0 BACKGROUND MTA is extending the Purple Line Subway approximately 9 miles west of the existing Wilshire/Western Station and constructing seven new stations. MTA s project is being built in three sections. Section 1 is a 3.9 mile subway heavy rail line that will operate from the existing station at Wilshire/Western, in the City of Los Angeles to a proposed station at Wilshire Boulevard and La Cienega Boulevard in the City of Beverly Hills. Section 2 is 2.62 miles and extends from Wilshire/La Cienega station west to Century City. The alignment will extend west under Wilshire Boulevard from La Cienega Boulevard to the Wilshire/Rodeo Station (located at Wilshire Boulevard and Reeves Drive). West of Reeves Drive, the alignment is proposed to continue along Wilshire Boulevard until it exits the corridor and continues southwesterly to a new terminus station on Constellation Boulevard in Century City. Section 3, which is not part of the scope of this RFP, is entirely within Los Angeles and extends from Century City/Constellation station to Westwood/VA Hospital station. Section 1 Prior to the start of construction for Section 1, all utility services which could have been impacted by tunnel or station construction will be relocated to ensure continued service. This Advanced Utility Relocation (AUR) work began in November 2014 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year (December 2016).

Construction on the Wilshire/La Cienega Station is anticipated to begin in early 2017 with installation of piles around the perimeter of the station along each side of Wilshire Boulevard between La Cienega Boulevard and Tower Drive and across Wilshire Boulevard at each end. The piles will support the shoring and decking that will facilitate excavation between La Cienega Boulevard and Tower Drive to accommodate the 1,000-feet long underground station box. Upon completion of the piling, Wilshire Boulevard will be closed periodically for the installation of decking. Once the decking is in place across Wilshire Boulevard, excavation and construction of the Wilshire/La Cienega Station will continue for approximately the next 4 years. Tunneling will begin in Los Angeles at the Wilshire/La Brea Station and will conclude at the Wilshire/La Cienega Station in Beverly Hills. The Purple Line Extension Section 1 is anticipated to open in late 2023. City staff and MTA staff negotiated a draft memorandum of agreement (MOA) that includes, among other things, reimbursement provisions, mitigation measures, and construction document review processes. The MOA will be presented to the City Council and MTA Board for their consideration in the coming months. A copy of the latest publicly available draft of the MOA for Segment 1 is attached to this RFP for reference only. The language of the MOA is subject to change prior to final approval by the City Council and Metro Board. Section 2 Pre-construction activities are currently underway for Section 2. Utility relocation for Section 2 is scheduled to begin in early 2017. Gas, electric, and telecommunication utilities owned by third party utility companies (Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, and AT&T) will be relocated to accommodate future construction of the Wilshire/Rodeo Station. Section 2 station construction will commence within 2019 with anticipated completion in 2025. Subsequent to the relocation of third party utilities by the utility owners, a design-build contract is anticipated to be awarded by Metro for the Section 2 station and tunnel construction. Prior to the beginning of major construction the City anticipates negotiating with Metro regarding the terms of an MOA for Section 2. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK Consultant shall perform as-needed support services associated with the implementation of the Purple Line Extension project by the MTA.
