Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award purpose
The project will complete the Pier B on-dock rail support facility program by completing the North Rail Yard expansion and the South Rail Yard expansion.
The North Rail Yard expansion will construct two new mainline tracks, five new approximately 10,000-foot receiving and departure tracks extending from west of the Dominguez Channel to the Pico Avenue rail corridor, and 28 new storage tracks north of the existing Pier B yard.
It also includes active at-grade warning devices and railroad preemption with a new traffic signal at Pier B Street.
The South Rail Yard expansion will add seven new approximately 3,000-foot storage tracks, lengthen and rehabilitate seven existing approximately 3,000-foot storage tracks, construct two new tracks in the Pico Avenue rail corridor, reconfigure tracks near Pier D Street, and construct a new compressed air facility.
Activities to be performed
Element 1: Construction phase architectural and engineering (A and E).
Engineering during construction management, project management, and construction support during bid and award, construction, and closeout.
Element construction: Construct two new mainline tracks, five new approximately 10,000-foot receiving and departure tracks extending from west of the Dominguez Channel to the Pico Avenue rail corridor, 28 new storage tracks north of the existing Pier B yard, construct the roadway knuckle at Harbor Avenue and 11th Street, reconstruct the existing Pier B rail yard by adding seven new approximately 3,000-foot storage tracks, and lengthen and rehabilitate seven existing approximately 3,000-foot storage tracks.
Construct two new tracks in the Pico Avenue rail corridor, reconfigure Mead Yard ladder and lead track across Anaheim Way, and add active at-grade warning devices and railroad preemption with a new traffic signal at Pier B Street.
Reconfigure tracks near Pier D Street and construct a new compressed air facility with associated piping within the rail yard.
Approximate total project quantities include 175,000 feet of new track, 150 new items of special track work, and 150 remotely controlled power switch operators.
