Arcadis, VHB Selected by Metropolitan Transportation Authority to Support Historic Capital Program

NEW YORK, NY — Arcadis, a global design and consultancy organization, in a joint venture (JV) with VHB, announces its selection by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) Construction & Development (C&D) to provide general engineering consulting (GEC) services to support an unprecedented capital infrastructure program in 2023 and 2024. The federally funded program has an estimated construction value of more than $700 million.

Implementing a unique approach to scale and timing, the VHB-Arcadis JV will develop, design, and deliver more than 50 design-bid-build (DBB) and design-build (DB) infrastructure projects for MTA C&D's Infrastructure Business Unit over a 16-month period. Most of these projects, which will improve the accessibility and reliability of transit service across the five boroughs of New York City, will be awarded in 2023.

The VHB-Arcadis JV will provide state-of-good-repair improvements across New York City's transit system in four categories: bus facilities; line structure infrastructure; rail facilities; and wayside power. The program includes an option for construction phase services for each DBB project.

"An efficient, sustainable, and well-run transport infrastructure system is critical to the success of cities all around the world, both economically and in terms of supporting wider social cohesion and mobility," said Greg Steele, Global President of Mobility at Arcadis. "Investment is key, and transportation and transit projects such as these will be integral when it comes to cutting congestion and helping to drive longer term growth across the New York metro region."

Arcadis will deliver its program management services on the projects, complementing VHB's full range of design services. In addition to engaging several subconsultants during the program, the VHB-Arcadis JV will aim to meet a self-imposed goal of contracting 25 percent of its work from locally based disadvantaged businesses enterprise consultants.
