The primary objective of the Enhanced Station Initiative Design-Build Program was to optimize reliability and efficiency, simplify communication, enhance the user experience, unify the system, highlight the unique station characteristics and connect the stations to the city.

The work for this package included significant upgrades to the stations at: 72nd Street, 86th Street, 110th Street and 163rd Street, along Central Park West and the West Bronx. The overall contract duration of 13.5 months consisted of a design period, followed by individual bypasses (closure periods) at each station to facilitate the expedient construction work.

Typical work scope included: design administration, sand blasting, painting, new architectural finishes (flooring, wall tiles), platform edges, electrical/non-electrical industrial design items (dashboards, totems, benches, trash receptacles, etc.), leak repairs, waterproofing, steel repairs, stair reconstruction, handrails, glass fare arrays, decluttering, back-of-house room reconstruction, preparation for art installation, mechanical/electrical/plumbing, and lighting.
