Bored Tunnel Alternative Design-Build ProjectDesign-Build <strong>Construction</strong> <strong>Management</strong> ServicesSR 99BExecutive SummaryExecutive SummaryThe SR 99 Bored Tunnel Alternative Design-Build Project, which will replace the aging Alaska Way Viaduct and restore thewaterfront as a usable community space, is yet another opportunity to reshape the face of Seattle. As part of the Seattlecommunity, we look <strong>for</strong>ward to being a part of this landmark project that will build the largest bored tunnel in the world.The SR 99 design-builder will construct a first in the world, 58-foot diameter tunnelusing an earth pressure balance (EPBM) “mega” machine. The tunnel project has severalchallenges, including varying soft soil conditions, submerged construction environments,and significant site constraints. There are many risks related to constructing a tunnel alongthe proposed alignment. One of the greatest risks is ground settlement caused by overexcavationat the face of the tunnel excavation, which can lead to significant settlementof buildings and adjacent infrastructure. For the bored tunnel project, settlement is ofparticular concern due to the number of sensitive buildings and critical infrastructure inthe tunnel’s vicinity. We understand these risks and provide the best team to assist WSDOTin managing the project beginning on Day 1.The <strong>Parsons</strong> Team’s Local and Worldwide CM Expertise Provides a CM Approach <strong>for</strong>Design-Build That ProtectS WSDOT’s InterestsThe <strong>Parsons</strong> team is ideally suited to provide first-classCM services that will complement WSDOT’s CM program,to help ensure that the design-builder delivers a qualityproject safely. We have assembled a team that includesour strongest, most experienced tunnel constructionmanagers, supported by recognized tunnel designand construction professionals from both industry andacademia. We can mobilize <strong>Parsons</strong>’ and the team’scombined staff of over 21,000 employees. Our teammembers and firms possess the unique set of skillsdescribed below to help WSDOT deliver a successfulproject.• Experience in large diameter transportation tunnelCM, including design-build CM• Thorough knowledge of the SR 99 Bored TunnelAlternative Design-Build project• Integrated team experience with WSDOT, and a clearknowledge of WSDOT’s procedures and processes.Through our success with delivering over 250 complextunnel projects worldwide, we have developed keysystems and processes particular to the management oftunnel construction. For example, we have developed<strong>Parsons</strong>’ CM Experience in TunnelDesign-Build Protects WSDOT’s Interests<strong>Parsons</strong> is uniquely qualified to provide CM services <strong>for</strong> the SR 99 Design-Buildproject due to our extensive involvement in design-build projects, where our roleshave ranged from CM to <strong>Construction</strong> Joint Venture Lead Partner. As such, we clearlyappreciate our role augmenting the SR 99 Design-Build project CM organization toprotect WSDOT’s interests in delivering a safe, and efficient roadway of the highestquality. <strong>Parsons</strong> has provided CM services worldwide <strong>for</strong> major tunnel design-buildprojects, including the following current and past projects:• New Jersey Transit ARC Program−−Manhattan Tunnels−−Palisades Tunnels−−Hudson River Tunnels• Dubai Light Rail Transit−−Red Line Tunnels−−Green Line Tunnels• Dulles People Mover Tunnel• Al Salam Street Tunnels• Channel Tunnel Crossing• Channel Tunnel Rail Link• Midtown Tunnel, Hampton Roads, VA• Straights of Messina Crossing, Italy• Southern Nevada Water Authority(SNWA) – Intake No. 34
