Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project
PHASE 2
COST AND SCHEDULE UPDATE
AS OF MARCH 31, 2021
MAY 2021
Meeting the COVID-19 Challenge
Protecting health and safety of employees,
contractors and subcontractors
COVID-19 Update• While vaccinations increase and some guidelines ease, the Silver Line Project
team continues to abide by all current local, state and Center for Disease Control
and Prevention guidelines, including social distancing, wearing masks, hand and
surface cleaning, and limiting the size of any in-person meetings.
• The project wide effort to follow the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority
(Airports Authority) COVID-19 protocols resulted in very few confirmed project
cases.
• The cooperation on the part of the Airports Authority, the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority (WMATA), contractors and stakeholders to telework or when
required to work on site with adherence to all protocols resulted in minimal impact
to the ongoing construction and testing effort.3

Replacing Cracked Third Rail Supports
15
Completion Items Update
Package A Items• Traction Power Surge Arrestors — Original surge arrestors were activating unpredictably and
were replaced with another surge arrestor model with a higher surge capacity. The contractor’s
root cause analysis indicates that the surge arrestors were undersized. The Airports Authority
has engaged an expert who concurs that the original arrestors were marginally sized; there has
been no evidence of excessive voltage surges. WMATA is in agreement that there is no
evidence of a system wide issue with the traction power system. CLOSED.
• Malfunctioning Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Fans in TPSS, Tie Breaker Station (TBS)
and AC Rooms — Several of these fans have been running constantly at high speed and have
burned out. The manufacturer believes this is caused by not pushing a reset panel after
accessing the unit. A field test seemed to support the manufacturer’s position. Letter received
from manufacturer. CLOSED. (Same item as Package B)
17
Package A Items• Cracked Impedance Bonds — All 11 cracked bonds have been replaced by CRC. The
cracking was caused by incorrect installation of the cables which has been resolved.
WMATA has identified other imperfections of concern. An extended warranty or provision of
additional spares to close this issue is being discussed.
• Cracked Third Rail Insulators and Coverboard Brackets — The contractor has proactively
replaced insulators that were exhibiting cracks. The root cause analysis of the failure from
the contractor indicates cracks are due to over-tightening of bolts. CRC has responded to
WMATA’s comments regarding Root Cause explanation. More replacement parts are being
ordered as CRC is re-torqueing all the bolts.
18
Package A Items• Damaged Direct Fixation (DF) Track Fasteners — These have been identified on all direct
fixation tracks. The contractor claims that the damage is caused by installation issues. The
Rail Office and WMATA are engaging independent engineering firms to do assessments.
The Rail Office completed surveying all pads in the field to document locations of damage
and has sent 10 new DF Pads and 5 damaged pads to the Transportation Test Center lab in
Colorado for them to perform independent testing. The field survey did not show any
patterns that would indicate excessive movement in the structures or the rail.
• Deficient Paver Installation at Station Platforms — Systemic problems experienced with the
concrete paver system on Phase 1 station platforms have not been adequately addressed
by the contractor on Phase 2. Extensive paver joint issues have occurred allowing water to
penetrate the platform and significant efflorescent deposits are present at the platform
edges, including at the platform edge light fixtures. WMATA is considering allowing the
current system to remain in place subject to an acceptable escrow to cover future
maintenance.
19
Package B
Rail Yard Design-Build ActivitiesConstruction:
• WMATA has begun inspecting the yard facilities and buildings to develop the final
punchlist. The lists will be organized by building or rail area. Meanwhile HP
continues to work on its internal work list.
• WMATA’s Chief Mechanical Officer and staff visited the yard on April 28 to observe
overspeed testing of the train wash, turntable installation in the Service and
Inspection Building (SIB) and typical hoist operation using the hoist central control
panel. Their comments will be the subject of resolution meetings as soon as they
are received.
• HP continues to work on correcting discrepancies on the computerized yard train
control machine and reports these corrections are taking longer than anticipated.
This work must be completed before the Systems Performance Demonstration can
be accomplished.

Completion Items Update
Package B Items• Precast Concrete Wall Panel Cracks at Dulles Yard Buildings — The Project Team has
developed Life Cycle maintenance estimate as first step in developing escrow estimate.
The sealer utilized requires less frequent applications than originally anticipated, resulting
in lower overall life cycle costs.
• Tight Gauge at Switches in Dulles Rail Yard — Railcars arrived in the yard the last part of
April, however the contractor is still updating the Yard Train control Machine. Until that is
operational, movement of trains through the yard is limited. Once general movement is
possible, trains will be run through all switches, which will be followed by rechecking the
gauge issue.
• Hoists and Turntables at Dulles Yard — On April 28, the WMATA Chief Mechanical Officer
and staff visited the Train Wash for overspeed testing and the SIB for HP’s
demonstrations of the turntables and hoist operation using the hoist central control
panels. Comments are pending.
27
Package B Items• Non-Compliant Crib Heaters — HP proposed and WMATA has accepted receiving longer
(72”) heaters for future retrofit through ongoing maintenance. Currently 54” crib heaters are
installed. HP is providing the longer heaters, waiting delivery. CLOSED.
• Fuel Center Deficiencies (Slab Thickness over Fuel Tanks) at the Yard — HP has provided a
Design Standard Change Proposal (DSCP). WMATA SAFE continues to have concerns over
a ‘hazard’ from the slab thickness. Engineering shows equivalent strength of provided slab
which is the tank manufacturer’s recommendation. The slab exceeds American Association
of State Highway and Transportation Officials HS 20 loading that WMATA generally accepts
elsewhere.
• Malfunctioning UPS Fans in TPSS, and AC Rooms — WMATA is reviewing information from
the Manufacturer from tests on Package A. Once accepted, Package B will apply the same
corrections. CLOSED.
28
Package B Items• HP was directed to correct track indication deficiencies in the Computerized Yard Train
Control Machine, MC Dean is working to correct but is experiencing longer than
expected times to complete rework in preparation for testing. Late May is now the
target date.
• Distance between Insulated Joints and Signals at Dulles Rail Yard — The Project Team
has surveyed actual conditions in the Yard and is preparing a White paper with findings
and recommendations. The Airports Authority is still awaiting the requested Hazard
Analyses from WMATA to better understand the Safety concerns.
• Turntable Deficiencies at Dulles Rail Yard SIB — The Airports Authority is consolidating
comments from the April 28 demonstration and will schedule resolution meetings with
HP.
• Embedded Track Deficiencies Dulles Rail Yard Maintenance Buildings — The
contractor has agreed to correct deteriorated asphalt embedment. Recheck of rail to
floor elevations found rail within tolerance. Asphalt rework to be scheduled.29
Package B Items• Non-Compliant Clearance in Elevator Machine Room at Dulles Yard — The room has
passed third party inspection from a certified elevator inspector. WMATA
independently inspected the room and provided informal comments. The Airports
Authority is working with the WMATA Project team to conduct a formal inspection with
all concerned parties to develop a resolution.
• Systems Performance Demonstration (SPD) — HP is completing a number of
prerequisites prior to initiating the SPD, including completing corrective action on the
Yard Train Control workstation. HP has been requested to schedule demonstrations of
facilities and equipment that does not require railcars in the interim.
