King County Library System Capital Levy Program Management Services
As a subconsultant to URS, and part of the Program/Project Management team, GHA has provided administrative and management support for the renovation and expansion of the second largest library system in the United States. GHA’s responsibilities include handling the logistics and coordination of procurement and delivery of fixtures, furnishings and equipment for multiple library sites. In addition, GHA identifies opportunities for small businesses to provide construction services and assists in identifying and locating such businesses.
Sound Transit Light Rail Central Link Property Acquisition and Relocation Project Management
As a prime, GHA provided project management oversight and support for the Central Link Light Rail Project Property Acquisition and Relocation Project to obtain Right of Way for over 750 parcels in the initial 14-mile segment of the light rail system. The objective of the work was to ensure that tasks and activities related to the acquisition and relocation effort were successfully achieved. Initially, GHA developed work plans for Sound Transit and each of its real estate acquisition and relocation consultant groups. GHA performed document reviews, and interviewed Sound Transit staff, right of way consultants, real estate appraisers, relocation consultants and environmental consultants in order to develop the plans that included a scope of work, schedule, budget and tasks. GHA also created comprehensive flowcharts that identified key roles and responsibilities, and depicted work processes from parcel certification (by Engineering) to closure of purchase and relocation of businesses or residents. The team monitored project progress and status on a daily, weekly and quarterly basis and developed a Management Reporting System that provided Sound Transit with a centralized source of data for reporting project status throughout the Agency, and provided project progress reports to City of Seattle Officials and the Federal Transit Administration.
