Under the contract extension, AECOM will provide a variety of project control, system integration and staff support services as DART completes the 20-mile expansion of its Orange and Blue light rail lines.
AECOM is honored by this opportunity to continue partnering closely with DART, a key client of ours for more than two decades,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM chairman and chief executive officer. “We look forward to delivering innovative solutions to enhance Dallas’ mass transit systems.”
During its most recent assignment on the DART light rail expansion, AECOM’s project control and support services played a critical role in enabling the client to successfully open the 28-mile, $1.8-billion Green Line on schedule and under budget during December 2010.
AECOM’s work on the current light rail contract began during 2002 and has a value of US$82 million to date.
