General Construction Management for BART Projects
As a Prime Consultant, Wong is providing construction management services to BART on numerous projects.

Traction Power CM Support
Wong provided construction management services for the traction power system rehabilitation project which involved the replacement of 34.5kV nitrogen-filled-pipe cables with Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR) cables between Daly City and Balboa Park Substations. This construction management services included constructability review, inspection, testing and cost estimates.

16th St./Mission St. Station NE Plaza
Wong led the design efforts and construction management including support during construction of the 16th Street/Mission Street BART Northeast Plaza Improvements Project that was completed in the third quarter of 2006. Wong prepared the structural and electrical design and construction documents in-house while the sub-consultants assigned to the Wong Team prepared the architectural, civil, and artwork construction documents. The work included preparation of a site survey, demolition of the existing features, design of drainage, irrigation, water services, structural design of new stairwell perimeter walls, electrical power and lighting, and landscaping including selection of palm trees and granite paving material. The work also included the preparation of construction staging and patron access drawings, coordination with City agencies, community, adherence to the City's ADA requirements, and artist providing artwork for the plaza.

Close coordination and cooperation with the many stakeholders including the 16th Street Community Advisory Committee was an essential part of the design process. Meetings with a BART Director, City agencies, and community groups at various design stages were conducted. The in-progress design was presented at each of the workshop meetings to solicit comments to each major aspect of the design. Constructive suggestions were taken under advisement. Many of the ideas presented were incorporated into the final design of the Plaza. The community provided many lessons learned along with valuable insight to the problems encountered at the previously constructed Southwest Plaza renovation.

Visitors and patrons using the Plaza see the art sculpture "HOME" by Cork Marcheschi, placed on top of the plaza elevator, the restored Youth Mural "Voices" created in 1999 by Urban Artworks, and the beautiful decorative metal fencing around the station entrance created by Victor Mario Zaballa who was part of the Wong Team.

The design work and preparation of the construction documents were prepared in accordance with the BART Facility Standards and Specifications. The Wong Team supported the District's advertisement and bid processes for fixed scope Public Works contract.

The project was completed on schedule and within budget.
