Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB)-lead team won a USD 700 mil contract as a Rail Delivery Partner (RDP) that takes a new and expanded approach to the first high-speed rail program. The RDP team combines significant resources and expertise in high-speed rail. In addition, Network Rail Consulting and LeighFisher will both provide major contributions as members of the Parsons Brinckerhoff team.
This new partnership recognizes a shift in the program from planning to construction and draws on a seasoned team of international experts with experience delivering high-speed rail systems from around the world.
On June 10, 2015, the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s (Authority) Board of Directors approved the Rail Delivery Partner (RDP).
“We are pleased to have received competitive proposals from two of the global leaders in program management. This action reflects a new area of emphasis for us as we move forward with construction and focus towards planning and implementation of operations,” said Authority CEO Jeff Morales.
The board’s action authorizes the Authority’s CEO to negotiate, finalize and execute the terms of the RDP contract which will run through 2022.
