What is at stake.
New light rail vehicles are delivered on the manufacturer's schedule, and the agency has nowhere else to put them. Yard track, overhead power, the shop and its lifts must be ready, tested and certified first. Track, systems and building contractors all work in the same yard.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Vehicle-first logic
The schedule is built backward from the first vehicle delivery through yard track, traction power and shop readiness.
Interfaces mapped
Every handoff between track, systems and building contractors is a named milestone with its own float.
Weekly coordination
A two-week look-ahead coordinates crews sharing yard access, drawn from the updated schedule.
Change control
Changes from the vehicle manufacturer are priced and their schedule effect shown before approval.
Where it stands.
Vehicles show up whether the yard is ready or not. So the first vehicle is the first milestone we protect.
