Clients for the scheme are Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). The project includes 21 stations along a 26km alignment through Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.
The Fluor-led design-build team, Purple Line Transit Constructors, comprises Fluor Enterprises, Lane Construction Corporation and Traylor Bros together with subcontractor Atkins North America as the lead designer.
The Purple Line Transit Constructors team will begin design and construction later this year with passenger service scheduled for early 2022. Following the construction, Purple Line Transit Operators, a Fluor-led team comprising Fluor Enterprises, Alternate Concepts and CAF USA will provide 30 years of operations and maintenance services.
“The selection of the Fluor team solidifies our industry-leading ability to successfully manage complex public-private partnership (P3) projects,” said Hans Dekker, president of Fluor’s infrastructure business. “The Purple Line project will benefit from Fluor’s global experience, including the only other transit P3 in the United States, the Eagle P3 project in Denver, which is scheduled to begin passenger service on the University of Colorado A Line this spring.”
