Chapter 3
Joint Development and Adjacent Construction Projects
The Metro Office of Joint Development and Adjacent Construction (JDAC) reviews and approves
construction activities for those jurisdictional projects adjacent to Metrorail and Metrobus
property, facilities, and operations in order to ensure that: Metro facilities and operations are not
damaged or affected by the proposed project; Metro operations are not affected during and after
the project construction; and Metro station capacity is not affected by the ridership generated by
the project. Expenditures are reimbursed by the private or jurisdiction entity.
To achieve these objectives, JDAC performs the following:
• JDAC reviews adjacent projects to determine if there are impacts to WMATA interests.
• JDAC acts similar to the development review and permitting offices of the jurisdictions.
• Provides coordination with Owner/Developer/Contractor (ODC): agencies, jurisdictions,
property owners, consultants, developers, utilities and/or anyone who has impact to
WMATA property, facilities and/or operations.
• In conjunction with Real Estate and Station Area Planning (LAND) and General Counsel
(COUN) prepares Project Agreements.
• Provide coordination/oversight for all aspects of a project including: design, safety,
operations, constructability, assures compliance with WMATA standards, monitors
/coordinates construction activities and accepts on-site installations and facilities.
• Provides oversight and acceptance for Joint Development and Jurisdictional Reimbursable
projects that will ultimately be owned and operated by WMATA.
