Purpose: The purpose of this staff summary is to obtain MTA Board approval to add two new projects to the 2010-2014
Capital Program:

1. To provide ADA accessibility at the station complex comprising of New Utrecht Av station on the Sea Beach Line (BMT) and 62 St station on the West End Line (BMT)

2. To provide ADA accessibility at 8 Av Station on the Sea Beach Line (BMT).

Discussion:
The approved 2010-2014 Capital Program includes Station Renewal projects at nine stations on the Sea Beach Line in Brooklyn (8 Av, Fort Hamilton Pkwy, New Utrecht Av, 18 Av, 20 Av, Bay Pkwy, Kings Hwy, Avenue U, and 86 St stations).

The 2010-2014 Capital Program also includes related projects for Retaining Walls Remediation between the nine stations, and for the Rehabilitation of the Automated Fare Collection (AFC) Facilities at 8 Av station.


These projects will be packaged into two contracts:
1. Contract #1: Renewal of six stations (8 Av, Fort Hamilton Pkwy, New Utrecht Av, 18 Av, 20 Av, and Bay Pkwy stations), Retaining Walls Remediation in between these stations, and AFC Facilities work at 8 Av station.

2. Contract #2, Renewal of three stations (Kings Hwy, Avenue U, and 86 St stations) and Retaining Walls Remediation in between these stations.

Design for both of these contracts is 80 % complete. Final Design is scheduled for completion in July 2014 and award is forecasted for November 2014.

In conjunction with these projects, two new projects are now requested to be added to the 2010-2014 capital program:

1. ADA: New Utrecht Av/Sea Beach (N) and 62 St/West End (D) stations:
This project will install a total of four ADA elevators.

Two elevators (#1 and # 2) will be installed at New Utrecht Av station on the Sea Beach Line (BMT) (N) line.

This station is part of a complex that also includes the 62 St (D) station on the West End Line (BMT), so two additional elevators (#3 and #4) at 62 St (D) station.

This will allow disabled customers to transfer between the Sea Beach and West End lines.

The full time control house D-5 provides entrance to the both New Utrecht Av station and 62 St station.

Elevators # 1 (3-stop elevator) will be installed at the northwest corner of the control house (D5) and it will travel to the southbound platform of New Utrecht Av (N) station and to a new transfer bridge connecting to the 62 St station (D) line platforms thru the existing passageway.

Elevator# 2 (2-stop elevator) will be installed at the northeast corner of the control house and it will travel to the northbound platform New Utrecht Av (N) station.

Elevator# 3 and # 4 will be installed at passageway connecting to the 62 St station (D) platforms on West End Line.

Elevator# 3 (2-stop elevator) will provide access to the northbound platform.

Elevator# 4 (2-stop elevator) to the southbound platform of 62 St (D) station.


2. ADA: 8 Av/Sea Beach (N) station:
This project will provtdti ADA access from the paid side of the control area (D-2) of the
station to the northbound and southbound platforms.

Two ADA ramps, one to each side of platform, will be constructed from the existing passageway between the stairs to northbound and southbound platforms, and will be located along the outside of the platforms.

The ramps will be constructed on LIRR property adjacent to the northbound platform, and in the space available between private property and the southbound platform.

Though the ramps will provide vertical accessibility to the platforms, full ADA accessibility of the station will depend on resolution of platform curvature issues.


These two ADA accessibility projects are also being designed by the Hennigson, Durham & Richardson (HOR) Architect & Engineering, PC/Daniel Frankfurt, JV, along with the Stations Renewal projects.

Alternatives: These projects are the best alternatives for providing ADA accessibility at these three stations.

Impact on Funding: A conceptual cost estimate of $40 million for the design and construction of the new projects is indicated below, but needs to be revisited upon completion of Final Design and final Force Account estimates:

1. $28 million is estimated for ADA Accessibly work for the installation of four elevators at New Utrecht Av station on the Sea Beach Line (BMT) and the 62 St station on the West End Line.

2. $12 million is estimated for the construction of two ADA Ramps at 8 Av station on the Sea Beach Line. Funding will be provided from program savings.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the MTA Board approve the addition of two new capital projects, currently estimated at a total of $40 million, to provide ADA accessibility improvements discussed above at New Utrecht Av station on the Sea Beach line and 62 St station on the West End Line; and at 8 Av station on Sea Beach Line.
