King County Metro Condition Assessments

Condition assessments are essential for facilities and infrastructure to remain safe, cost-effective, and functional. King County hired TKDA for a master contract to provide multidisciplinary services, which includes condition assessment, nondestructive testing, and system inspection services to the King County Metro Transit Division (KCM) for reporting on the State of Good Repair of KCM facilities and infrastructure. The services further the already developed KCM Condition Assessment Program while complying with Federal Transit Administration Best Practices, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) legislation, or other current and relevant legislation or guidance. The Condition Assessment Program provides a defensible and effective way to compare the importance of a varied and extensive list of recommendations across various KCM facilities and infrastructure. We perform condition assessments on systems within facilities and infrastructure, including the following examples:

• Metro Transit Bases
• Metro Maintenance Facilities
• Marine Division Facilities
• Vanpool Facilities
• Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (DSTT)
• Trolley Infrastructure (including substations)
• Transit Centers
• Park-and-Rides
• Comfort Stations
• Sound Transit Base and Support Facilities
• Sound Transit Light Rail Facilities
• City of Seattle Streetcar Facilities
