4th Quarter Highlights with a Look Ahead to Next Quarters:
Construction Safety:
Safety statistics reported for the project leveled during the 4th quarter (October to
December), averaging at 2.23 incidents per 200,000 work-hours. In 2013, the overall
project rate continued to improve with the lowest values reported during the third and
fourth quarters. The overall project rate continues to trend closer to the national industry
rate of 2.00.
The following key milestones were reached in the 4th quarter:
- Metro North Railroad (MNR) took over beneficial occupancy and opened the 245
Park Avenue Entrance on October 21, 2013. The new entrance to Grand Central
Terminal (GCT) was completed under the 44th St. Demolition & Construct Fan
Plant Structure & 245 Park Ave. Entrance (CM004) contract.
- Final completion was reached on November 30, 2013 for the 280 Park Avenue
work done under the 50th Street Ventilation Facility (CM013) contract. Substantial
completion for this contract is projected for the 1st quarter of 2014.
- Substantial completion was reached on December 23, 2013 for MTA’s first Small
Business Federal Mentor Program contract, Early Work for GCT and Facilities
Fit-Out (CM014MP), with final completion forecasted in the 1st quarter of 2014
Manhattan Construction:
Work began on the Manhattan South Structures (CM005) contract in the 4th quarter. The
contractor is progressing with concrete, shotcrete and waterproofing operations in the
GCT eastbound and westbound caverns and tail tracks.
Production blasting and rock excavation including the shaft will be completed in the 1st
quarter at the 55th Street Ventilation Facility (CM013A). Shotcrete operations in the
plenum have begun.
The Plaza Substations & Queens Structures (CQ032) contractor began environmental
work and concrete repairs in the existing 63rd Street eastbound tunnel and also started
concrete work for the Yard Lead tunnel invert. Concrete and steel work continues in the
open cut area. In preparation for the follow-on Systems contract, the B10 Substation and
other existing structure fit-outs (except at 23rd Street) are on target for completion in the
1st quarter of 2014. Waterproofing and steel erection continue at the C06 Substation.
Harold Construction and Amtrak/LIRR Coordination:
The Harold Structures – Part 3 Westbound Bypass (CH057A) contract received limited
Notice to Proceed on December 2, 2013. The contract includes construction of the
westbound bypass structure, a 630-ft long tunnel with east and west end approach
structures. The scope also includes the installation of catenary foundations, poles, and
signal bridges to support rail road systems. It is the first major construction contract
funded by the Federal Railroad Administration’s High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail
Program. The contractor has started to mobilize and prepare the required submittals in
preparation of starting construction in the next quarter.
LIRR completed the Phase 1 signal cutover and removed the wires from existing Tower
36 in the 4th quarter. This allowed the Harold Structure Part 1 and GO2 Substation
(CH053) contractor to proceed with the erection of steel for the bridge structures at 43rd
and 48th Streets.
Construction continues on the 12kV ductbank and storm sewer under the Harold
Structures Part 2A (CH054A) contract

CM004 Contract Status
April 1, 2014
Gantry Crane in service in December, one month later than
previously forecasted, due to Subcontractor issues
Shaft 1 punch-list work started December, 30 days behind schedule due to crane delays
AT-1 punch-list began in October as previously forecasted
Below grade steel completed in December
Above ground intumescent painting and building façade
installation complete. CMU installation is 90% complete,
expected completion January 2014, two months behind
schedule due to the gantry crane delay and Contractor
progress.
245 Park Avenue Entrance: Beneficial Use was achieved October
21, as planned. Punch list is ongoing and is expected to be completed on January 31, 2014.
2. Critical Issues:
Structural Steel – below grade steel installation completed
in December. It was delayed one month by the gantry crane
completion and contributed to the building completion delay.
Intumescent paint is approximately 85% complete, and the
subcontractor has not been on site since December 1 due to cold temperatures
3. Mitigation:
Weekly meetings are held to monitor progress and mitigate any slippages
The south side street utility work is being removed from the contract
Contractor will complete work in time to meet handover to CM005 as necessary
The balance of intumescent painting will not hold up
completion of the rest of work, and could be completed as
a punchlist item
4. 1st Quarter ’14 Look Ahead: 44th Street Vent Plant: Complete all work by April 1, a two month
loss since the last quarterly report. This is due to the gantry crane delay and slow Contractor progress.

Air Handling units were installed in November, slightly ahead
of the forecast last quarter
2. Critical Issues:
SCADA delay costs are expected to be finalized in January
Switchgear delivery is expected in February but has lost a
month in the quarter. This and SCADA are driving the critical
path.
The Contractor issued a CPM with a Substantial Completion
date of February 27, 2014. This was followed by updates with
Substantial Completions of April 1 and then February 28th.
The schedules were rejected for contract non-compliance. The
CM feels that those dates cannot be met.
3. Mitigation: SCADA unilateral modification to capture time related portion
of SCADA delay has been issued to the Contractor, and caps
the impact due to SCADA at 308 calendar days
The CM is meeting weekly with the Contractor to address
critical issues
Complete subway roof closure and air tunnel modifications by
the end of January 2014, a loss of one month this quarter

2. Critical Issues: Signal Power Separation is required to begin
track circuit testing for new CIL’s except Point CIL. Point
CIL is being powered by the existing Amtrak power (91.6
Hz). Due to the delay of signal power separation, the current
H4 and H3 CIL cutovers could potentially slip.
3. Mitigation:
lock-down the cutover date of the MG set. The re-design
and coordinating schedule have been in process in order
to mitigate the schedule impact.
Track circuit testing for H4 CIL will begin with
Temporary Signal Power (91.6Hz) to mitigate the

Description: Procure LIRR and Amtrak Force Account material in support of Stage 2 construction. LIRR will manage and operate
the project warehouse with ESA oversight. Example of materials include: Track - switches, rail, concrete ties and ballast; Third-
Rail & Power – rail, cables, boards, brackets, wire, power connectors, bus bar; Signal Equipment – switch machines, cables,
signals, relays, motor generators, heaters, troughs, impedance bonds; and Structures – signal bridges, retaining walls etc.;
Communications – equipment, wire, cables, and poles.
Materials at Warehouse Storage Area.
LIRR procured all 17 switches and they are to be
delivered from now until the spring of 2014 due to
changes with the installation schedule. Also
reviewing alternate locations with expanded
facilities for delivery, building and storage.
Bill of Materials (BOMs) for VHA/L02 is an
average of 83.7% procured. This percentage was
recalculated based on the average of Amtrak and
LIRR combined. Deliveries continue in coordination
with the construction schedule.
Cost: Table shows value of awards to date. An overall
VHL02 savings is expected due to large scale advance
procurement for Stage 2 materials. The budget of VHL02
was increased to purchase two motor generators for
Harold signal power separation. Meetings are being held
regarding contract purchase and award of the motor
generators.

Description: This includes the procurement of seven Harold Interlocking Central Instrument Locations (CILs) and one Point Interlocking
CIL and the purchase of a fully operational Vital Microprocessor-Based Interlocking Control System for the referenced interlockings. This
system will operate the new Harold Interlocking configuration and eventually connect to the new GCT tunnels.
POINT Battery Hut Exterior.
Schedule:
1. Progress: Currently, six of the eight CILs have been delivered to
the project by Ansaldo. The POINT, H4 and H5 CILs have been
set on-site with final preparations being made to place H3 and H6
CILs. Submittals for the final two CIL locations, H1 and H2, have
been received and are under review.
2. Critical Issues:
Program Plan (RSPP) and the Informational Filing (IF) for the
Communications and Synchronization Printed Circuit Boards
remains the major critical issue. The LIRR will forward their
modified, conditionally approved, RSPP to the FRA and
continue its work responding to questions and comments from
the FRA on the IF. Per previous correspondence, the FRA
wrote that a Product Safety Plan (PSP) would be required. A
subsequent FRA clarification letter noted that the IF should be
adequate. No cutovers can take place without FRA acceptance
of both the RSPP and the IF.
Constant changes to the Harold footprint in order to mitigate/
improve construction sequencing and/or perceived operational
issues are resulting in additional cost and schedule impacts to
both the vital signal system and non-vital supervisory control
system. Scope changes are absorbing limited signal design
resources and increasing the probability of design errors.
3. Mitigation: Monitor FRA progress with periodic requests for updates on
the filing status, provide resources to assist the LIRR in
responding to the FRA’s comments on the IF
No additional changes to Harold Interlocking
4. 1st Quarter ’14 Look Ahead: Complete reviews, conduct witness testing and take delivery
of the H1 and H2 CILs
