3 JDAC Mission JDAC reviews, approves and coordinates projects adjacent to Metrorail and Metrobus property, facilities, and operations in order to: Protect WMATA infrastructure, operations, and ensure passenger safety from adjacent work; Provide coordination of design, safety, operations, constructability and compliance with WMATA standards; and Coordinate and accept on-site installations and facilities. JDAC Tom Crone 3

4 More on JDAC JDAC acts similar to the development review and permitting offices of the jurisdictions. JDAC active project log consistently numbers over 100. Abbreviation ODC is for Owner/Developer/Contractor. It applies to agencies, jurisdictions, property owners, consultants, developers, utilities and/or anyone who may impact WMATA property or facilities. JDAC provides coordination, approvals and oversight for Joint Development and Jurisdictional Reimbursable projects. JDAC Tom Crone 4

5 JDAC Approach to Projects JDAC web page lists procedures and requirements: information.cfm Adjacent Construction Project Manual (ACPM) Revision 5 to be released August The Project Flow Chart lists early actions and provides timeframes of at least six months. JDAC Tom Crone 5

6 Flow Chart - Early Actions ODC project introduction to WMATA. JDAC determination of level of support, project duration, and JDAC fees based on Board approved fee schedule. JDAC letter agreement and invoice to ODC (utilize PCN). ODC execution of agreement and payment. Joint identification of project needs: As-built drawings via Document Request Form. Right-of-way access. Any interim facilities. Any impacts to WMATA property or operations. JDAC Tom Crone 6

9 Right-of-Way Safety Training Roadway Worker Protection Program Metrorail has safety as its foremost priority. Metrorail third rail is high voltage 750V DC. Metrorail is active during during non-revenue hours. Safety training forms are available on the JDAC Web page. Certification of Eligibility / Training Request / ID Card Training Procedures SAFE Don Gilmour 9

10 Facility and Roadway Access ODC requests are coordinated through JDAC. Operations emergencies and maintenance have priority. JDAC assists ODC in completing: Site Specific Work Plan (SSWP) 60 days. Rail Support Request. General Orders and Track Rights GOTRS system. JDAC often arranges piggyback track rights. Shutdown schedule is developed 1 year in advance. ODC must pay in advance for escort/flagman support. Track rights process is 30 days (90 days w/ SSWP). JDAC Shee' Fells 10

It may be required beyond 50 feet if use of a crane could foul the ROW. It covers WMATA s Liability for Bodily Injury and Property Damage claims which result from the designated contractor s work activities. The most common type of claim is for injury to Employees of contractors and subcontractors. WMATA must be the Named Insured and the General Contractor should be the Designated Contractor on the policy. When RRPL is required, the CGL policy should be endorsed to delete the railroad exclusion from the contractual liability coverage. WMATA s Blanket RRPL Insurance Program is available to contractors if project falls within certain parameters. The Description of Work on the policy and all certificates must include the WMATA project number and location(s). * RRPL is usually provided by the general contractor. The policy automatically covers loss arising from the activities of all subcontractors. RISK Jim Hamilton 22
