Abstract:

New York City Transit Authority, part of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, has a Five-Year Capital Revitalization Program. Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall, with its associates, London Transport International, Corddry, Carpenter, Dietz & Zack, and LeRoy Callender is the general consultant for the barns and shops and bus depot rehabilitation and improvement portion of the program. Control of construction quality starts with the design of this effort. How this is carried out is discussed. The various philosophies followed in engaging consultants are covered, and the considerations bearing on selecting one of these for a large transit project are discussed. Considerations discussed are (a) use of a group of individual section design consultants or construction supervision consultants managed directly by the public agency staff, (b) a single general consultant with section designers either under direct contract to the public agency or under subcontract to the general consultant, and (c) more than one consultant performing general functions--the most common arrangement is one consultant for design and one for construction management.
