Description
The Rainier Valley light-rail segment, which is part of Sound Transit’s 14-mile Central Link initial segment between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport, calls for a major reconstruction of the Martin Luther King Jr. Way South corridor.
The Rainier Valley segment will run down Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
|
The 4.3-mile alignment will receive new water and sewer lines, power and communication lines, pavement, sidewalks, stations and plazas. Officials are also working with utility companies to install utility lines underground.
Some areas will be widened to 175 feet to make way for the light-rail line, which will run down Martin Luther King Jr. Way South. Stations will be built at South Edmonds, Othello and Henderson streets.
The light-rail track will be assembled in 78-foot lengths and pre-welded into 300-foot lengths using continuous welded rail strings. The strings will be transported to installation points using specially designed rail carts.
The project includes community enhancements such as new sidewalks, landscaping and street crossings.
Sound Transit used a “best value” procurement for the contract, which placed equal emphasis on price and technical criteria, such as plans for minimizing community impacts and coordinating complex utility work.
RCI-Herzog’s $128.3 million proposal was $30.4 million under the engineer’s estimate.
