加利福尼亚州的高铁管理局昨天发布的一项修订的商业计划概述了新的工作时间表,以适应Covid-19延误,以通过中央山谷完成一条梅塞德 - 弗雷斯诺 - 巴克斯菲尔德临时服务线。现在,预计由加利福尼亚铁路建造者领导​​的第一个22英里细分市场(CP4)的实质性完成预计在大约15个月内。施工包1,(Tutor-Perini/Zachry/Parsons)和2-3(Dragados/Flatiron),将延伸到2023年,从2025年开始进行火车,并在十年结束前在Merced到Bakersfield之间进行测试。

18luck.cub这三个施工套餐的成本比当前预算增加了3.3亿美元。由于前进的风险和不确定性,HSRA提出了应急预算的“大幅度”增加。

加利福尼亚高速铁路管理局发言人凯尔·西默利(Kyle Simerly)说,大流行已经影响了“组织和计划的几乎每个方面”。这包括延迟采用2020年最终商业计划的限制将近一年,以提供更多时间来评估风险,进行进一步的项目审查,为公众评论提供更多机会,并适应必要的立法监督。近250名工人不得不隔离。

可用拍卖的上限和交易收入减少了2.88亿美元。许多加利福尼亚州的法院要么关闭或严重减少他们的时间,这延迟了备案和法院日期,因此减慢了收购时间表。

The procurement process for the Track and Systems contract has been delayed “by several months.” To mitigate cost risks and improve construction efficiency, HSRA is proposing to change the timing, approach to construction and phasing of the track installation.

However, some significant progress was made last year. In November 2020, HSRA hit an all-time high of 1,208 daily workers dispatched to 35 open job sites in the Central Valley, almost doubling the number of workers dispatched at the start of the pandemic.

At the same time, environmental reviews and regional infrastructure projects are continuing in Northern and Southern California.

“The uncertainty surrounding the depth and duration of this pandemic will continue to present us with numerous risks to be recognized, managed and mitigated,” Simerly says.
