Executive Policy Statement
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is committed to providing a high-quality, cost-
effective, safe, secure, reliable, and efficient light rail transit (LRT) System. The
effective integrated operation of the various sub-systems that comprise the LRT System
is a primary concern that encompasses all aspects of the planning, design, construction,
and subsequent operation of the light rail transit system. This goal is achieved by
implementation of a comprehensive Integrated Test Plan (ITP) that focuses on ensuring
that all elements of the system provided for under the various construction, procurement,
and installation contracts conform to the Contract Documents. In addition, the ITP
ensures that all personnel who will operate and maintain the system are able to function
together in an effective manner.
The ITP identifies the processes by which the various components of the LRT Build-Out
Phase IIA and Phase IIB Projects, and other Capital Projects, shall be tested after
construction/installation has been completed but before DART can begin revenue service.
Integrated Testing is a key part of the System Safety and Security Certification process as
it ensures that all of the project elements are effectively interfaced and comply with
established safety and security performance requirements. Integrated Testing also
ensures that all of the project elements operate/function as intended.
The Assistant Vice President (AVP) Systems Engineering and Integration has
responsibility for the development and implementation of the ITP. All DART Rail
Program Development employees and related consultants associated with the LRT Build-
Out Phase IIA and Phase IIB Projects, and other Capital Projects, are directed to comply
with the provisions of this ITP and to cooperate in achieving DART’s goals for a high-
quality, cost-effective, safe, secure, reliable, and efficient LRT System.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the Integrated Test Plan (ITP) for DART’s Light Rail Transit
Build-Out Phase IIA and IIB Projects and other Capital Projects. This Plan outlines the
phase of testing in which individual systems are tested as part of an integrated whole, and
the process by which that integrated system is tested. The ITP also identifies the
processes by which these Projects shall be tested after construction/installation has been
completed but before DART can begin revenue service. Integrated Testing is a key part
of the System Safety and Security Certification process as it ensures that all of the project
elements are effectively interfaced and comply with established safety and security
performance requirements. Integrated Testing also ensures that the project elements
operate/function as intended.
The ITP is based on the implementation of policies and the evolution of test procedures
that have taken place during previous DART Integrated Testing efforts. New test plans
and procedures are also being developed (e.g. Cab Signaling System, SLRV Tests). This
Integrated Test Plan has been updated and revised to reflect these new test plans and
procedures. Test procedures are subject to change as the LRT Build-Out Phase IIA and
IIB Projects and other Capital Projects move from the design phase into the construction
phase and the construction contractors begin to submit for approval their contractually-
required test plans, procedures, and testing schedules. Subsequent revisions to the ITP
shall address these items.
1.1 Scope
This document focuses on the ITP and the associated programs, policies, and procedures
that will make the ITP an effective method by which DART can ensure proper LRT
systems integration and operation. This document:
• Describes the ITP;
• Describes the basic structure of the LRT Projects covered by the ITP;
• Describes the management approach for all test program phases. This
includes a scope review, a program objective discussion, test elements,
methodology, management approach, and organization;
• Establishes the management process for the test program activities;
• Defines the administrative requirements of the Integrated Test Plan;
• Describes the Start-Up Team (SUT) organization and management;
• Identifies the members of the SUT organization;
• Defines SUT participant roles and responsibilities;
• Describes the management and control procedures to be adopted by
the Systems Integration Consultant (SIC) and the SUT to facilitate
testing;
• Defines the general and specific integrated testing sequences;
• Defines and describes the various tests to be performed, including
detailed procedures and other items;
• Addresses specific test requirements, such as test personnel,
| AECOM 1 Revision 4 – April 2009
instrumentation set-up, equipment operation, and troubleshooting
during test procedure development, and;
• Explains the process by which Rail Program Development, based on
the successful completion of the Integrated Testing and verification,
issues a Certificate of Compliance that allows Rail Program
Development to transfer the completed line sections and/or facilities to
DART Operations and allow revenue service to begin.
1.2 Integrated Test Plan
Throughout the construction and system start-up phases of DART capital projects, the
SIC and the SUT shall adhere to an integrated testing program, as outlined in this ITP to
ensure that:
• All systems elements effectively function together to provide a safe,
secure, efficient, and reliable service;
• All project elements are effectively interfaced and comply with
established safety and security performance requirements;
• The requirements for verification are actually implemented and that
the project elements operate and function as intended;
• All Operations personnel are able to use the system and function as an
integrated team to provide a safe, secure, efficient, and reliable service.
The ultimate objective of the ITP is to verify that the LRT System is ready for revenue
operations by witnessing contractor tests; systematically conducting predetermined
operational tests and facilitating readiness drills. The Test Summary Sheets and basic
parameters of these tests and drills are included in this ITP as an appendix. The various
tests serve to:
• Verify Contract Document compliance through monitoring the
performance of Contractor Tests (or ‘C’ tests);
• Validate and demonstrate successful system performance through the
development and performance of Integrated Tests (or ‘I’ tests);
• Demonstrate safety, security and efficient service characteristics
through the development and performance of Readiness Drills (or
‘RDs’);
• Verify the training and functionality of operations and maintenance
(O&M) personnel, equipment, and procedures through the
development and performance of Pre-revenue Service Tests (or ‘PR’
tests).
Adherence to the ITP provides DART with the assurance that all LRT System elements
and personnel are able to properly function together as an integrated unit. Compliance is
achieved using verification, validation, and demonstration of the above items.
| AECOM 2 Revision 4 – April 2009
1.3 Integrated Testing
For the purposes of this ITP and DART, Integrated Testing includes C-tests, I-tests, RDs,
and PR (Service) tests, as detailed above. Integrated Testing and verification of a transit
system is the final major activity to take place before System Safety and Security
Certification and revenue service begins. Integrated Testing generally begins as soon as
the civil/structural and systems work on a Line Section is completed. However, various
subsystems shall be tested via C-tests before all construction work is completed on the
entire Line Section. Trackwork, the traction electrification system (TES), and train
control systems provide the key milestones that must be completed before the majority of
the Integrated Tests begin. Clearance tests, using a mock-up of a light rail vehicle to
ensure there is sufficient clearance between lineside equipment and the dynamic profile
of the vehicle, are generally the first tests conducted. Technical testing of various
systems, such as TES and the signaling system, amongst others, then follow.
Communications and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) tests may be
conducted throughout the testing period, once contractors have completed the installation
of the field equipment, transmission, and control center interfaces. Readiness drills are
conducted at various weekly intervals during the latter stages of the testing period in
conjunction with the appropriate emergency response organizations for each authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ). Field verification of scheduled run times is performed when
all systems testing is completed. Specific Pre-revenue Service Tests shall also be
performed during the two-week pre-revenue operations period. Training and
familiarization for DART Transportation and Maintenance personnel can be provided
throughout the testing period, particularly during periods when there are no field tests
scheduled. Pre-revenue Service Testing, by simulating scheduled service, takes place
during the last two weeks of the scheduled testing period.
Exhibit 1-1 illustrates the current vs. the baseline Integrated Test Schedule for the
Northwest Rail Operating Facility (NWROF) and the six Line Sections included in the
Build-Out Phase IIA Project. Exhibit 1-2 illustrates the current vs. the baseline
Integrated Test Schedule for the Irving (I) Line Sections and Rowlett (R) Extension,
which are included in the Build-Out Phase IIB Project. Exhibit 1-3, which is presently
under development, will illustrate the baseline schedule for Integrated Testing of other
Capital Projects. The baseline schedules also reflect the revenue service dates, as
approved by the DART Board of Directors. The SIC is responsible for developing
detailed testing schedules and assignments prior to the operation of revenue service trains
on each line section, and shall also develop integrated tests specifically for the NWROF.
Subsequent revisions to this ITP shall include more specific test schedules.
1.3.1 Relationship to the System Safety and Security Certification Program
DART is performing a detailed System Safety Certification Program, as defined in the
Safety and Security Management Plan (SSMP) and the Safety and Security Certification
Plan (SSCP). The Safety and Security Certification Program documents that all elements
of the SSMP, and all safety and security requirements included in the DART Design
Criteria Manual are achieved. It also documents that the appropriate parties have
| AECOM 3 Revision 4 – April 2009
thoroughly reviewed the safety and security content of the plans, procedures, and training
materials. While the System Safety and Security Certification Program and the
Integrated Test Program are managed as separate programs, they complement and
reinforce each other, especially as various safety and security related tests and Readiness
Drills must be coordinated. For several certifiable project elements, the ITP provides the
final verification that the system elements function safely, that the project elements are
actually implemented and that they operate and function as intended. As the test program
proceeds, the Safety and Security Certification Review Team (SSCRT) must verify that
the system is secure and that all known safety-related tests are successfully completed,
and that all identified hazards have been eliminated or mitigated to an acceptable level.
1.4 Projects Covered
The primary focus of the ITP is on the DART Build-Out Phase IIA and Phase IIB
Projects. However, the ITP has been expanded to include other DART Capital Projects
as defined by DART and the SIC. These other Capital Projects include the Thanks-
Giving Square Rail Replacement Project, Lake Highlands Station, the Level Boarding
Outlying Stations Project, the LRT Transit Crossings at the relocated Treehouse Lane,
and the 6th Street Extension in Garland, and other rail-related Capital Projects for which
Integrated Testing is deemed necessary. This ITP is intended to include the Phase IIB
Project. However, the depth of coverage may be limited due to the unique design/build
nature of that Project.
1.4.1 Build-Out Phase II Project
Currently, the DART Light Rail Transit (LRT) System operates over 43-miles of double
track railroad. The Build-Out Phase II Project will more than double the length of the
present LRT System to almost 90-miles of double track operating railroad. The Phase II
Project is being completed in two distinct phases, Phase IIA and Phase IIB. Phase IIA
includes the Southeast (SE) Corridor; Northwest Corridor (NW); and the Northwest Rail
Operating Facility (NWROF). Phase IIB includes: the Dallas/Fort Worth Irving (I)
Corridor and the Rowlett (R) Extension.
When Phase IIA is completed in 2010, a new 26.5-mile Green Line linking the Northwest
and Southeast Corridors will be added to DART’s LRT network. The Green Line starts
in Pleasant Grove at Buckner Station. It will serve several regional destinations,
including; Deep Ellum, Baylor University Medical Center, Fair Park, Victory Park, the
Dallas Market Center, the Southwestern Medical District, Love Field Airport, and the
City of Farmers Branch. The Green Line will terminate in the City of Carrollton at the
North Carrollton/Frankford Station. In January 2009, DART gave a Notice to Proceed
(NTP) to a Design/Build Contractor for Sections I-1 and I-2 of the new Orange Line
(Phase IIB) that when completed will serve the Las Colinas Urban Center in 2011 and to
Beltline (SH161) in 2012. The Orange Line will run parallel with the Green Line through
Downtown Dallas to Bachman Station in Northwest Dallas. From Bachman Station the
Orange Line will head northwest through the Las Colinas Urban Center and temporarily
terminate at the new Belt Line Station (Line Section I-2). Currently, DART is
coordinating with the FAA and D/FW International Airport staff regarding the I-3 portion
| AECOM 4 Revision 4 – April 2009
of the Orange Line to continue from Belt Line Station to D/FW Airport for a total of 4.8
miles. However, the FTA has indicated that work on this portion of the D/FW Irving
Corridor cannot officially commence until work on the I-2 portion is “substantially
complete.”
A second light rail vehicle service and inspection facility, the Northwest Rail Operating
Facility (NWROF), is currently under construction as part of Phase IIA. When
operational, the NWROF will be the primary maintenance facility for the Northwest and
D/FW Irving Corridor portions of the Phase II Build Out and will support the expansion
of DART’s LRT system by providing nominal maintenance (excluding body work and
painting) for the Green and Orange Line trains. DART is also extending revenue service
on the existing Blue Line as part of the Phase IIB Build-Out Project. The “Rowlett
Extension” will extend 4.8 miles east from the existing Downtown Garland Station to a
new station located adjacent the Rowlett Park and Ride. DART awarded the
Design/Build Contract for the Rowlett Extension (R-1) in January 2009 with construction
expected to start in June 2009. More specific details in regards to the LRT System and
the Phase II Build-Out Project can be found in Section 3.0 of DART’s Operations and
Maintenance Plan: Existing System and Build-Out Phase II.
1.4.2 Other Capital Projects
The Integrated Test Plan also applies to the forms of testing performed in relation to the
following Capital Projects/Contracts:
• The Level Boarding Modifications-Outlying Stations Project
o The raising of various areas within existing Starter and Build-Out
Phase I LRT station platforms (outside of the CBD stations) to
comply with low-floor vehicle specifications and accommodate the
level boarding mode of operation;
• SLRV Modification Project
o The addition of 31-foot long “C-units” to existing Light Rail
Vehicles (LRVs) to create a fleet of Super LRVs (SLRVs) to
increase passenger capacities and facilitate low-floor boarding
operations for mobility impaired patrons (which serves to speed up
patron movement when boarding/deboarding vehicles;
• Fare Collection Equipment procurement and installation, with
provisions for issuing magnetically-encoded tickets and accepting
credit/debit cards for payment;
• Traction Power Substation (TPSS) procurement, for installation by
others, to provide the electrical power for the expanded System; and,
• The Communications Central Control Contract to modify the existing
communications system to accommodate the new LRT Build-Out
Phase II Project facilities and equipment by upgrading the SCS
(Supervisory Control System) software and displays.
| AECOM 5 Revision 4 – April 2009
• Thanks-Giving Square Rail Replacement
o This project will replace the rail and girder rail along the curve
adjacent to Thanks-Giving Square in the Dallas Central Business
District (CBD);
• Lake Highlands Station
o The new station will be located at the northwest corner of Walnut
Hill and White Rock Trail along the existing Northeast Corridor
(Blue Line, Section G-2) between White Rock Station and
LBJ/Skillman Station.
• LRT Transit Crossing at Relocated Treehouse Lane
o This project will provide a new at-grade crossing on the North
Central Corridor (Red Line, Section NC-3) at Treehouse Lane to
connect the properties planned for the Valencia Development
located on both sides of the existing LRT right-of-way;
• LRT Crossing 6th Street Extension, Garland
o This project will provide a new at-grade crossing near Downtown
Garland Station (Blue Line, Section G-3).
This list shall be expanded or otherwise altered as necessary, thus increasing the purview
of the ITP, to include additional Capital Projects presently under construction.

2.0 LRT START-UP TESTING MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION
DART has established a SUT that is responsible for all integrated testing. The SUT is
managed by the SIC in Rail Program Development. This group directs start-up activities
in the integrated testing process and the other integration activities necessary prior to
beginning revenue service. The Assistant Vice President, Systems Engineering and
Integration, is responsible for managing the start-up process, the SIC/SUT; and the
Integrated Testing Plan.
DART has tasked the SIC to address interface issues on all of the Phase II Line Sections,
systems elements, the Northwest Rail Operating Facility (NWROF), and other LRT-
related Capital Projects. The SIC reviews and provides formal comments on all Facilities
and Systems design submittals at each level of their design development. During the
construction phase, when requested by the Resident Construction Manager (RCM), the
SIC reviews and provides comments on Contractor submittals for operations and
maintenance issues, training, and any impacts the Contractor's proposals may have on the
safety and security of the DART LRT System. The SIC also has oversight of the testing
phase for the Build-Out Phase II Project to ensure that the rail system meets DART's goal
of continuing to provide a high-quality, cost effective, safe, secure, reliable, and efficient
LRT System/service. The SIC is responsible for preparing the system for an effective
and well-organized transition into revenue service. This section of the ITP describes the
organization and process that the SIC shall use to implement this transition, as well as the
interfaces with other organizational elements at DART, including various organizations
under contract with DART. During the scheduled start-up period, DART temporarily
transfers personnel from its Operations Department, such as Train Operators and/or Field
Supervisors, to the SUT to work with the SIC and other SUT personnel performing
detailed integrated testing activities.
At the completion of the Build-Out Phase II Project, the SIC and SUT shall support the
SSCRT and provide the recording secretary to certify that the Build-Out Phase II Project
meets or exceeds DART's established safety and security goals, and operational
performance requirements.
The SSCRT consists of DART’s Manager, Rail System Safety (who acts as the
Chairperson of the SSCRT), the Assistant Vice President (AVP) for Systems Engineering
& Integration, the AVP for Facilities Engineering, and the AVP for Construction
Management. The Chief of DART Police and DART’s Chief Architect are also SSCRT
members.
The SSCRT determines whether an element should be recommended for System Safety
and Security Certification. Upon receiving and reviewing the SSCRT’s recommendation
for approval, the Senior Vice President, Rail Program Development shall sign a
Certificate of Compliance. Once the Certificate of Compliance has been signed, DART
Rail Program Development will then transfer the system to DART Operations, which will
proceed with Pre-revenue training prior to beginning full revenue service operations.
| AECOM 10 Revision 4 – April 2009
2.1 Purpose
The management structure described above provides for the safe, secure, efficient, and
cost-effective completion of the LRT System, from its development to the inception of
revenue operations. It also provides for a well-organized transition of the Project from
the Rail Program Development, which is responsible for system development and
construction, to DART Operations, which has responsibility for LRT System revenue
operations.
The start-up period represents one of the most complex stages in the development of the
LRT System. It involves almost all functional areas of DART and a wide range of
interrelated activities to ensure that all construction, installation, testing, and training
activities can be performed while maintaining operational, safety, security, budget, and
schedule requirements. Previous start-up experience within DART, and within other
properties, has shown that this major coordination effort is best managed by a single
organization during the start-up period. On the Build-Out Phase II Project, the SIC shall
lead and coordinate the activities of the SUT. The remainder of this section of the ITP
will discuss the organizational structure of the groups that are likely to be involved with
the start-up process and the SUT.
2.2 Organizational Approach
The Assistant Vice President, Systems Engineering and Integration, in Rail Program
Development, oversees the Integrated Testing Program. Other key groups directly
engaged in Integrated Testing and the start-up process include the SIC, other personnel in
Rail Program Development, various DART support personnel, and Operations personnel
temporarily assigned to the SUT. Exhibit 2-1 provides an abbreviated organizational
chart for DART with key SUT participant relationships highlighted.
The SIC maintains close coordination with the Facilities Engineering, Construction
Management, and System Engineering groups in Rail Program Development, the
Transportation Department, the Maintenance Department, the DART Police Department;
and the Rail Safety Section within the Risk Management Division. As described in the
next section, the SIC also provides additional coordination within the SUT. The
organization described above facilitates the completion of the design and construction
phases, with Integrated Testing serving as the final major activity in verifying the overall
LRT system, while providing an effective and well-organized transition into revenue
service.
The following sections describe the functions and responsibilities of each major group
during the start-up process and run-up to revenue service.
2.3 Start-Up Team (SUT)
The SUT provides a nexus for the extensive coordination and cooperation needed during
start-up. The SUT shall be formed from representatives of the various
| AECOM 11 Revision 4 – April 2009
departments/divisions affected by the start-up, and shall serve as an informational forum
for each representative. The SUT shall:
• Coordinate the interface between different activities and groups;
• Provide early identification and cost-effective resolution of problems;
• Review progress status reports from each department/division;
• Obtain needed resources from other departments/divisions;
• Schedule the activities to be included in the Integrated Testing.
The AVP, Systems Engineering & Integration chairs the SUT. Members consist of
senior management of departments and divisions affected by the start-up. These include,
but are not limited to, the following:
• Rail Program Development;
• Transportation;
• Maintenance;
• DART Police;
• Service Planning;
• Marketing and Communications;
• System Safety;
• Contracts/Procurement;
• Treasury; and
• Human Resources.
Representatives of each department/division are expected to attend each scheduled
meeting, and must designate an alternate who shall attend in the event they are unable to
do so. Representatives may also be called upon to have additional personnel from their
department/division/section attend the meetings if the SUT identifies the need for
detailed coverage of issues related to that particular department/division or area of
functionality. Other departments/divisions may also be requested to have representation
if specific issues arise.
Initially meetings are held monthly. However, as construction on each project nears
completion, and as the revenue service date approaches, SUT meetings shall be held
more frequently as necessary. Additional working-level meetings shall also be held with
smaller groups as needed. For example, weekly track allocation meetings shall be held
between SUT personnel and those responsible for scheduling contractor work within the
DART Right-of-Way (ROW).
The SIC shall issue a report of each regular SUT meeting to identify all items requiring
action and the responsible party. Disposition of action items shall be a standing agenda
item. In addition, each SUT member shall present a status report of activities in his/her
respective area of responsibility. Status reports shall include progress updates, planned
activities, and interface or support required and requested from other
departments/divisions.
| AECOM 12 Revision 4 – April 2009
The SUT shall address, and attempt to resolve, any inter-departmental issues by mutual
agreement. However, any inter-departmental issues that cannot be resolved shall quickly
be referred to the appropriate DART senior management personnel for resolution.
2.4 Responsibilities of the SIC & the SUT
The following are the major responsibilities of the Systems Integration Consultant within
the Start-Up Team:
• Developing the Integrated Test Plan (the Start-Up Manager or SIC
Project Coordinator shall utilize the ITP as the basis for any specific
set of tests to be used as each project’s Integrated Test Plan) and
associated start-up plan(s);
• Developing the procedures for each Integrated I-Test;
• Documenting implementation of the ITP including development of
procedures, test reports, and discrepancy documentation for
integrated tests;
• Managing the ITP on a daily basis;
• Serving as Test Director(s) for the Integrated Tests;
• Maintaining a detailed start-up Activities Schedule and coordination
of the Activities Schedule with the Master Schedule;
• Managing, facilitating, and coordinating the activities and meetings
of the SUT;

| AECOM 13 Revision 4 – April 2009
design and construction of the system, including documentation and
inspections;
• Recommending Safety and Security Certification.
In addition to performing the detailed tasks related to the start-up as outlined above, the
SIC provides the additional staff and other resources required during the start-up period
that are no longer necessary after start-up. These requirements are addressed in the ITPs
and include such items as transportation for the field-testing personnel and specialized
testing equipment.
Prior to the commencement of start-up activities, the SIC shall develop, and update
annually, the LRT Operations and Maintenance Cost Model (OMCM) for fiscal modeling
purposes. The SIC prepares the OMCM as a primer for DART as to when and how it
will incur project costs. The model is a tool that provides line item estimates of costs for
the various operations and maintenance factors. It uses a multifaceted approach in the
development of the cost figures, and involves detailed interfaces with DART Operations.
2.5 Senior Vice President, Rail Program Development
The Senior Vice President, Rail Program Development, has overall responsibility for all
aspects of the LRT Build-Out Phase II Project as defined in the DART Capital
Improvement Program Management Plan (CIPMP). This includes final design,

2.7 AVP: Construction Management
Responsibilities of this AVP include oversight of GEC-2 consultants, the Construction
Engineering Managers, and the applicable construction contractors. Specific
responsibilities related to the start-up process include:
• Serving as members of the SUT;
• Coordinating staff interface with the SIC/SUT;
• Ensuring that the construction contractors perform all contractually
required tests (C-tests);
• Ensuring proper interface, coordination and support between
Systems Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs), Facilities
RCMs, and contractors with the SUT;
• Serving as a member of the SSCRT.
2.8 AVP: Facilities Engineering
Responsibilities of this AVP include oversight of GEC-3 consultants, and Project
Managers. Specific responsibilities related to the start-up process include:
• Serving as members of the SUT;
• Coordinating staff interface with the SIC/SUT;
• Ensuring proper interface, coordination and support between the
Systems CORs, Facilities, RCM, Facilities Project Managers, and
design consultants with the SUT;
• Serving as a member of the SSCRT.
2.9 DART Operations
DART Operations assumes responsibility for and control of the new LRT Line Sections
and other Capital Projects after the Senior Vice President, Rail Program Development,
signs the Certificate of Final Completion. Note however that in accordance with the
procedure for Substantial Completion, Use and Possession Prior to Completion
(Beneficial Occupancy/Conditional Acceptance), Final Acceptance and Transfer
Coordination Procedure, DART Operations may assume responsibility and control of the
item after receiving a signed Certificate of Substantial Completion. This constitutes a
key interface with Rail Program Development. Prior to this point, DART Operations is a
key player in the ongoing pre-revenue operations planning for a successful start-up
process and for the beginning of revenue service.
The SIC shall hold scheduled status meetings with DART Operations management at
least every two weeks, and ad hoc meetings as required. These meetings shall give all
participants the opportunity to address project status, review all open issues, and facilitate
the coordination of planned activities. Specific responsibilities of DART Operations
during the start-up process include:
• Assigning personnel as required to support the ITP and SUT;
| AECOM 17 Revision 4 – April 2009
• Allocating equipment needed to support the ITP and SUT;
• Hiring new personnel to support revenue service on the new Build-
Out Phase II Project Corridors and qualifying them for service;
• Incorporating rules and procedures that take into account the
operating variables presented in the new project areas;
• Assigning personnel for contractor provided training sessions;
• Performing, directing, and managing pre-revenue testing for an
approximately two-week period immediately before the start of
revenue service;
• Supporting and/or participating in System Readiness Drills (RDs), as
required.
2.9.1 Support Personnel
As previously described, DART Operations temporarily assigns personnel in a support
capacity to the SUT. These personnel perform all detailed operating functions to support
the various forms of integrated testing and the ITP. This includes operation of SLRVs,
control and monitoring of the existing traction power substations, operating track and
Overhead Contact System (OCS) switches, and working with the other systems elements
(signals and communications) as appropriate. A Test Director directs their performance,
consistent with DART’s operating rules and procedures. Upon successful completion of
the start-up process, these DART personnel may support the training of other employees
for the new Line Sections.
Figure 1 shows the various personnel assigned to support the ITP during the LRT Build-
Out Phase IIA Project and other LRT-related Capital Projects (Phase IIB plans are under
development). These personnel may be required to provide support throughout the entire
integrated testing period. 1 It is anticipated that, after starting work with the SUT
approximately 9 months before the inception of revenue service, the group of employees
used in the testing for Line Section SE-1A will be a part of the SUT throughout the
opening of Line Sections SE-1B, SE-2, and the NW Line Sections. A second team of
employees will also be needed for the SE-1B, SE-2, and NW Line Sections
approximately 9-12 months before the inception of revenue service on those Line
Sections. The first and second teams will be used concurrently for several months in
advance of the 2010 openings. The Transportation and Maintenance Departments may
need to backfill the positions of employees temporarily assigned to the SUT, in addition
to filling the demand for employees through the regular hiring program for new LRT
personnel needed for the new Build-Out Phase II Project Corridors. The LRT Operations
and Maintenance Cost Model contains the proposed hiring schedule for all LRT
Operations personnel related to the Build-Out Phase II Project.
1
It is important to note that the personnel assigned to the SUT are also available to work on Integrated Testing for other
Capital Projects undergoing Integrated Testing during the same time period.

2.10 Vice President/Chief of DART Police
The DART Police Department supports the SUT in implementing the provisions of the
ITP, with the SUT and DART Police coordinating to determine the level of support
needed during integrated testing. The Chief of DART Police and the AVP Systems
Engineering & Integration will be responsible for the coordination to assure that the
DART Police will be able to provide the necessary support 2. Specific responsibilities of
the Chief of DART Police during each LRT project include:
• Serving as a member of the SUT;
• Providing DART Police security for SUT personnel, when
requested;
• Assigning DART Police to assist with enforcement when SUT
flaggers close major roadways for integrated testing purposes;
o Examples of major roadways in Phase II-A would include the
Central Expressway, Parry Avenue, and R. B. Cullum
Boulevard.
• Providing personnel to participate in RDs;
• Hiring additional personnel to support expanded revenue service
operations;
• Providing security for the Build-Out Phase II Project.
2
The contractor is responsible for the security of its worksite during construction; DART Police
Department is responsible for DART property after the Authority accepts the project and the contractor
turns the project over to DART.
| AECOM 19 Revision 4 – April 2009
3.0 INTEGRATED TESTING
Subsequent to the acceptance testing of individual system equipment and facilities, the
SUT shall perform Integrated Tests to verify:
• Features of systems or subsystems that were not required to be
verified by contractual 'C' tests;
• Compatibility of systems equipment and/or facilities involving
more than a single contract (e.g. TPSS and fare collection
equipment);
• Operating procedures developed for use under normal, abnormal,
and emergency conditions.
The SIC is tasked with the responsibility for test management and is supported in test
planning, test procedure development, and in performing the tests by the Contracting
Officer's Representative (COR) and/or Resident Construction Manager (RCM)
responsible for each construction contract. Section 3.1 describes the contractual
interfaces. The SIC and the RCM/COR work together to schedule facility access, use of
equipment (e.g. high-rail vehicles) and arrange for the personnel needed to conduct and
witness the tests. The steps in the testing process are:
• Identify test requirements and prepare the ITP;
• Prepare test procedures;
• Perform and document the tests;
• Review and evaluate the test results;
• Document any discrepancies, or other observations;
• Formally notify the RCM/COR of any discrepancies;
• Make corrections and repeat the tests, if required;
• Report and document final test results.
The following sections provide a detailed description of Facilities and Systems interfaces
with the SIC, Integrated Test classification, and the sequence of the tests.
3.1 Contractual Interfaces
Excluding the Phase IIB Project, the RCM will be responsible for the administration of
both the Facilities and Systems portions of the CMGC construction contracts. However,
various Systems contracts (e.g. the TPSS and the Fare Collection Procurement Contracts,
and the Communications Central Control Contract) shall be managed by Contracting
Officer's Representatives (CORs) reporting to the Systems Engineering Group of Rail
Program Development. The AVP Rail Program Support has the responsibility for
managing the LRV Contract. The SIC has responsibility for Integrated Testing and
managing the overall start-up program.
| AECOM 20 Revision 4 – April 2009
RCM/CORs have responsibility for supporting, reviewing, and approving the results of
all contractor-performed tests, as specified in the respective construction and Systems
installation and procurement contract technical specifications.
The RCM Manual describes the RCM/COR’s responsibilities regarding supporting and
approving contractually defined Integrated Tests. The success of the ITP depends on the
cooperation and close coordination of the RCM/COR and the SIC. All non-contractual
Integrated Tests are managed by the SIC with support from the RCM/COR.
3.2 Test Classifications
Fixed facilities, systems, and equipment all undergo various forms of testing throughout
the construction and start-up phases. The ITP does not include all of these types of tests,
but it is helpful to outline them for reference purposes. The tests progress from the
component to the systems level. The following is a list of the various tests that may be
performed during the Build-Out Phase II Project and for other LRT-related Capital
Projects:
a) Design Verification;
b) Component Failure Testing;
c) Factory-Manufacturing Verification;
d) Construction Inspection;
e) Installation Verification;
f) Acceptance (C-Tests);
g) Contractual Equipment/Facilities Operational (C-tests);
h) Integrated (I-tests);
i) System Readiness Drills (“RDs”);
j) Pre-revenue Service (“PR” Tests).
Performing these tests ensures that the equipment for the new Build-Out Phase II and
other Capital Projects, when installed and put into service, will be compatible with, and
operate as an integrated system with the existing light rail network. As new elements of
the system become ready for incorporation into the existing DART LRT System and
network, the SUT (led by the SIC) shall verify systems integration, systems readiness,
and pre-revenue fitness for service, as described elsewhere in this ITP.
Contractual Equipment/Facilities Operational Tests, Integrated Tests, System RDs, and
PR Service Tests (see categories G, H, I and J below) constitute the start-up program and
are the focus of this ITP. Provided below is a brief description of each classification of
tests for clarification, including some that are not included in this ITP (for reference):
A) Design Verification Tests - these tests are conducted at the material
component, or subsystem level, during the engineering process to
demonstrate compliance with the contract technical specifications.
The tests ensure that all the design requirements of each system
element are met before proceeding to the manufacturing stage. The
| AECOM 21 Revision 4 – April 2009
tests are generally performed at the contractor’s facilities or at an
independent laboratory. The RCM/COR has the responsibility for
the oversight of the tests, as well as the documentation, review, and
the approval or rejection of the test results. Examples of design
verification tests are: smoke and flammability tests of new material,
traction motor/gear unit design tests, load tests, and switchgear
design tests. It should be noted however that the majority of the
equipment to be used on DART Projects shall have a history of
operation in existing DART (or other similar system) project
applications and/or has already been tested for design adequacy. For
this reason, the RCM/COR, with the designer’s concurrence, may
choose to waive contractor performance of the test(s) and/or the
RCM/COR may choose not to witness the test(s).
B) Component Failure Testing – these tests consist of testing the
Lowest Replaceable Units (LRU), which are used in the assembly of
a system or subsystem. These components are tested to the
manufacturer’s standards as published in the respective equipment
manuals. Testing of this type is usually done by the manufacturer at
a manufacturing facility or an equivalent location. The
manufacturer’s quality control (QC) is responsible for the oversight
of the tests, as well as the documentation, review, and the approval
or rejection of the test results.
C) Factory-Manufacturing Verification Tests - These tests are “in
process” or “factory” acceptance tests that are usually conducted by
the contractor’s Quality Assurance personnel at the material,
component, assembly, or subsystem level, during production of the
equipment. These tests ensure that the manufactured equipment
meets accepted industry standards for quality and workmanship,
comply with specified industry standards, performs as designed, and
that the equipment operates correctly prior to shipment. Factory
verification tests are performed at the manufacturer’s facilities or at
an independent laboratory. The RCM/COR has the responsibility for
the oversight of the tests, as well as the documentation, review, and
the approval or rejection of the test results. Examples of factory-
manufacturing verification tests are: highway crossing gate
mechanisms, track switch machines, vital signal relays, transformers,
ticket vending machines (TVMs), traction power, communications,
and central instrument houses and cases.
D) Construction Inspection Tests – these tests are “in process”
acceptance tests conducted to ensure that supplied materials comply
with specified standards and that fixed facilities are constructed in
accordance with specified workmanship standards and industrial
codes. Construction inspection tests may be performed at the project
| AECOM 22 Revision 4 – April 2009
construction site, at an independent laboratory, or at the
manufacturer’s facilities according to the specific contract
requirements. The RCM/COR has the responsibility for the
oversight of the tests, as well as the documentation, review, and the
approval or rejection of the test results. Examples of construction
inspection tests are: asphalt/concrete paving inspection, concrete
composition tests, and field paint tests.
E) Installation Verification Tests - these tests are “in process”
acceptance tests conducted at the subsystem or assembly levels
during the installation of each of the system elements. These tests
ensure that the on-site installation is in accordance with the approved
design and that the quality of installation is in accordance with
accepted workmanship standards. Installation verification tests are
performed at the project site. The RCM/COR has the responsibility
for the oversight of the tests, as well as the documentation, review,
and the approval or rejection of the test results. Examples of
installation verification tests are: Traction Power Substation (TPSS)
electrical power distribution wiring continuity tests; escalator and
elevator installation clearance checks; local field acceptance tests of
communication subsystems (e.g., radio, telephones, and SCADA) to
verify the proper functioning of the equipment.
F) Acceptance Tests – these tests (a type of “C-test”) are conducted at
the subsystem level to verify that the performance of each project
element and subsystem/assembly contained therein complies with
the technical specifications. When applicable, acceptance tests
include tests that verify the integration of shop equipment with the
facility itself. It may require repeating some earlier tests as
acceptance tests to verify the proper operation of the element after
installation. Acceptance tests are carried out at the project site and
are a prerequisite to the Integrated Tests. After completing a C-test
of this type, the contractor shall submit a completed Test Summary
Sheet, test data sheet(s), standard data sheets, corrective action
documentation, and sign-off sheet to the RCM/COR as the Test
Report. The RCM/COR, in addition to having responsibility for the
support and oversight of these C-tests, will have the responsibility
for the documentation, review, and the approval or rejection of the
C-test results. An example of an acceptance test is the signal-
interlocking test.
G) Contractual Equipment/Facilities Operational Tests - are tests of key
facilities elements along the ROW and at NWROF using an SLRV
that are critical to the operation and/or safety and security of the
SLRT network. These tests are also “C-tests” and are performed in
addition to the acceptance tests described above. The Contractual
| AECOM 23 Revision 4 – April 2009
Equipment/Facilities Operational Tests also provide an opportunity
for training and familiarizing DART Operations personnel with the
new equipment. The contractually required C-tests are performed
when installation of the equipment and related elements are
completed (i.e. - in their final configuration and operating
environment). The SUT shall facilitate and participate in these tests
by initially coordinating with the RCM/COR and Rail Operations to
provide the necessary SLRVs and Train Operators. It should be
noted that although the RCM/COR has the responsibility for the
support and oversight of the C-tests, the SUT shall also represent the
Authority by witnessing that the contractor has performed the C-test
in accordance with test procedures previously approved by the
Authority. As with the Acceptance Tests, the contractor shall submit
a completed Test Summary Sheet, test data sheet(s), standard data
sheets, corrective action documentation, and sign-off sheet to the
RCM/COR as the Test Report. The RCM/COR will have the
responsibility for the documentation, review, and the approval or
rejection of the contractor’s C-test results. An example of a
contractual operational C-test is the Automatic Highway Grade
Crossing Warning System Verification Test (C-405), a copy of
which is included in Appendix C. It is also important to note that the
supporting documentation included with an SIC C-test Report shall
be based on a compilation of the actual contractor-performed C-test
documentation and any notes taken and observations made by the
SIC Integrated Test Director. For example, the SIC C-test report
shall include the DART-approved contractor procedures for each test
and, where available, copies of the contractor’s test results.
Summary sheets of all C-tests in Appendix B take into account the
most current documentation and contractor source material received
and approved by DART concordant with the development of this
revision of the ITP. Any additional changes to contractor test plans
or other information shall be updated in future versions of the ITP.
H) Integrated Tests - are conducted to ensure that all elements of the
light rail system can properly function together as an integral system.
The tests seek to confirm that the newly constructed Line Sections,
or the specific facility, operate as designed and specified. The tests
involve end-point-to-end-point verification of system functionality
when more than one system is involved. In general, any contractual
test that involves the use of a train on the ROW is included in the
category of an Integrated Test. The RCM/COR is responsible for
supporting the Integrated Tests. However, the SIC has the
responsibility for the oversight, documentation, evaluation, and
determination of the success or failure of the Integrated Tests.
Examples of Integrated Tests include signal system tests, field
verification of run times, and testing the SCADA system. These test
| AECOM 24 Revision 4 – April 2009
plans are substantially completed, as presented in Appendix B, and
shall be revised in the coming years as the contractors begin to
submit their test plans, test procedures, and schedules. Integrated
Test procedures presented in Appendix B are templates or guides for
more detailed tests to be developed for each specific location or
situation that will be tested. Note that the Integrated Test Director,
in response to field conditions, may modify the Integrated Test
procedures during the test.
I) System Readiness Drills (Tests) – these are a subset of the Integrated
Tests. They are performed during the Integrated Test phase and are
designed to verify that an abnormal or emergency condition receives
an appropriate response. These drills involve a response by DART
Personnel (Transportation, Maintenance, DART Police, etc.) and
representative(s) from the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) of the
member cities. The drills provide opportunities to enrich emergency
response procedures through training exercises. The SIC has the
responsibility for the development, oversight, and documentation of
the tests, as well as the evaluation of the System RD (test) results.
Local emergency response or jurisdictional authority Member City
representatives are also involved in planning and performing duties
during the drills. The RDs included in the ITP are examples for
jurisdictional authorities / Member Cities to utilize. These are
minimum acceptable scenarios. However, an AHJ may decide to
modify or request additional RDs specific to their training needs or
LRT facility elements within its response area. All changes or
additional RDs are subject to the Test Director’s approval.
Examples of System RDs are: simulated fire in the Northwest Rail
Operating Facility with injuries requiring evacuation; train
evacuations; and grade crossing incidents. It should be noted that
satisfactory completion of the RDs provides the basis for the system
being certified as being capable of providing safe, secure, and
dependable revenue service. These drills have always been viewed
very seriously during previous LRT expansion projects and continue
to play a vital part in the preparation for implementing full revenue
service, especially in the current safety and security climate.
J) Pre-Revenue Service Tests – DART conducts these tests at the
system level to simulate revenue service operations during normal,
abnormal, or emergency operating conditions. The tests verify and
augment the training of SLRV operators, supervisors and operations
control center (OCC) personnel, maintenance personnel, and security
and safety personnel. The performance of these tests requires all
relevant systems, equipment, and facilities to be completed,
accepted, and operational. The SIC has the responsibility for the
oversight, documentation, and evaluation of the PR Service Test
| AECOM 25 Revision 4 – April 2009
results. Two examples are: single-track operation and absolute block
and a defective switch at an interlocking and terminal station.
3.3 Identification of Test Requirements and Preparation of the Test Plan
CMGCs and construction contractors are responsible for preparing and submitting their
test procedures for all contractually required tests C-tests for DART’s approval. The list
of test requirements shall be recorded in a master list of Integrated Tests to facilitate test
scheduling and status reporting. The SIC is responsible for preparing the test procedures
for all I-tests, PR Service tests, and RDs. The SIC distributes the list of I-tests and their
requirements to the test program participants for review and comment. Subsequent
requests from the RCM/COR for the SUT to perform additional (“new” tests not
currently identified in this ITP) or follow-up tests must be submitted in writing to the
AVP, Systems Engineering and Integration for approval and addition to the ITP.
All C-tests, I-tests, PR-tests, and RDs shall include the following sections: A Test
Summary Sheet listing the test name, number, contract(s) involved, test objective, a
summary description of the test, test prerequisites, personnel, equipment and facilities
required, an estimate of the duration to complete the test, the acceptance criteria, the test
procedure and test notes; a list of witnesses to the test; a compilation of the test report
documentation; the test results; a list of all noted discrepancies; an event log, and a
signature sheet. Appendix B provides the current Test Summary Sheets for each
Contractual, Integrated, and PR Service Test and all RDs. Appendix C provides sample
Integrated Test Reports for the Motorized Bi-fold Exterior Train Doors Test at NWROF
(I-225), and the Wayside Telephone Test (I-501) for the Northwest and Southwest
Corridors and the Automatic Highway Grade Crossing Warning System Verification (C-
405) for the Southeast Corridor. In addition, the flow chart provided as Exhibit 3-1
outlines the Integrated Testing process and documentation flow.
3.4 Test Schedule
The SIC shall prepare an Integrated Testing Schedule (ITS) which clarifies the overall
sequencing of the various tests for each Line Section or project segment. This schedule
shall include each C, I, and PR Service Test, as well as all System RDs. The purpose of
the ITS shall be to:
• Provide a baseline for the performance of the tests;
• Ensure test schedules match the Master Project Schedule;
• Identify important milestones in the testing process;
• Ensure that tests and prerequisite activities are performed in a
logical sequence.
The SIC shall develop the ITS based on the testing sequence, any
procurement/construction milestones, the availability of the resources required, and other
factors as necessary. Organizations participating in the development of the ITS shall
provide their input into the ITS via the SUT. Once the ITS has been baselined, it shall be
| AECOM 26 Revision 4 – April 2009
incorporated into the Master Project Schedule and distributed to all appropriate
personnel. The SIC shall maintain overall control of the ITS. It should be recognized
that the testing schedule might change due to the many factors outside of the control of
the SUT/RCM/COR. Any requests for changes to the baselined schedule must be
formally submitted to the SIC Project Manager. It is critical that the RCM/CORs report
updated information regarding C-test schedules (those tests prepared by the contractors)
to the SIC in a timely manner, as a change to, or issue with, a C-test may impact the
sequencing or scheduling of subsequent (C, I, PR) tests or System RDs required to be
performed on other contracts. Once testing has begun, the SIC shall prepare weekly
updates to the ITS.
3.5 Perform and Document Tests
The SIC arranges the support personnel required for all tests and manages the ITP,
according to the approved plan, procedures, and schedule to ensure that:
• The test can be carried out at the scheduled time and location;
• C-tests that can, or should be, run concurrently or in sequence, do
not conflict with the schedule for Integrated Testing and System
RDs;
• All personnel involved are notified in a timely manner of the
occurrence of the appropriate Integrated Tests.
The Contractor shall be responsible for assigning their personnel, as well as any testing
agency or subcontractor personnel, required for carrying out the C-tests, with the
RCM/Systems COR and the SIC/SUT providing any necessary coordination support (e.g.
access to existing sites and/or SLRVs with train operators). After the Contractor has
successfully completed the test(s) and submitted the test results, the RCM/COR will have
the responsibility for the formal approval of all C-tests.
The SIC Project Manager shall assign a Test Director to coordinate and direct each
Integrated Test. DART personnel assigned to the SIC will carry out their roles as
detailed in the test procedure. Under no circumstances will DART personnel violate any
operating rules or procedures.
As each step in the test is completed, the Test Director records the results on the test
results data sheets. The Test Director shall be responsible for all of the documentation
associated with each test. Approved test procedures and the associated test results data
sheets shall be available at the conclusion of each test for review and determination that
the test was successfully completed and that no discrepancies were noted. At the end of
the test, the Test Director shall ask each responsible DART representative to sign the
witness sign-in sheet.

3.6 Review and Evaluating Test Result Data
The RCM/COR is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the results of C-tests by the
contractors and approving or disapproving the test results. The SIC shall monitor the
results of the C-tests as an input to subsequent Integrated Tests as the Integrated Tests
cannot begin until the related C-test(s) have been successfully completed and the results
approved. The SIC shall be responsible for evaluating the test result data for the Integrated
and PR Service Tests and RDs to determine the success or failure of each test. The Test
Director shall then prepare a test report that shall include the test documentation and notes
on any discrepancies observed during the test. The SIC shall recommend a test as being
successful when all of the test results comply with the contract documents. The Test
Director is responsible for obtaining signatures from the SIC Project Manager (or
designee), and the AVP, Systems Engineering and Integration, before formally submitting
each report. The RCM/COR will review unsuccessful tests of any type to determine the
cause of the failure. If necessary, the test, or portions of the test, shall be repeated after the
contractor has completed the approved corrective action(s).
3.7 Repeat Tests
A repeat test of a system is required when the element(s) or systems being tested do not
meet the acceptance criteria identified in the approved test procedures. In the event of a
non-compliant test, the probable cause shall be reviewed with the designer, and corrective
action(s) evaluated and possibly initiated in order for the test to be successfully completed
in a compacted time frame. It may be necessary, in the event of larger system or equipment
issues, to generate a non-conformance report and permit the designer to develop a practical
solution. The SUT shall make a recommendation on whether the entire test, or only a part
of the test, needs to be repeated when any specific test does not meet the requirements
specified for the test. In addition, the SUT shall consult with the designer to determine
what if any equipment/function should be corrected to successfully complete the test. The
contractor shall not be allowed to make any modifications to the approved design that
would affect the safe operation of the light rail transit system, without first receiving the
designer’s written approval. The RCM/COR will be responsible for ensuring that the
contractor records all corrective actions that required a design modification on the "as-
built" drawings.
3.8 Integrated Test Comprehensive Discrepancy List
The SIC shall note and record any discrepancies found during the Integrated Testing. Only
when the Test Director formally documents that an item has passed the acceptance criteria
during the successful completion of a repeat test shall a discrepancy item be closed. All
tests covered by the ITP reflect the current contract documents with all approved changes.
When a test fails, the cause shall be reviewed, corrective actions evaluated, and a practical
solution implemented. The resolution may result in DART accepting an “as-built”
condition that does not comply with its Design Criteria Manual (DCM). The acceptance of
a deviation from the established Design Criteria shall require the SIC’s concurrence and the
formal approval of the AVP Systems Engineering and Integration, the AVP of Construction
| AECOM 29 Revision 4 – April 2009
Management, and the AVP Facilities Engineering. The SIC is responsible for recording
and documenting their approvals and submitting the request for a Deviation From Design
Requirements (DDR) to the Senior Vice President, Rail Program Development, for final
approval. Appendix D shows a form of this type—Deviation From Design
Requirements—that was completed for a previous DART project.
3.9 Substantial Completion/Conditional Acceptance/Final Acceptance/Transfer
Coordination Procedures
The SIC is responsible for coordination of maintenance activities with the Facilities
Engineering, Systems Engineering & Integration, and Construction Management groups of
Rail Program Development after completion of Facilities or Systems construction, and until
the line section is transferred to DART Operations for Pre-revenue Service Testing. The
SIC shall coordinate with Miscellaneous Construction, Station Amenities, and the DART
Police Department for ongoing maintenance and security prior to acceptance and handover
of responsibility to DART Operations. The completion and transfer requires formal
documentation to record the specific event. DART Operations is informed regarding
project element completion and transfer status. DART Operations also participates in the
substantial completion inspections and accepts the completion of each contract or work
item upon receipt of all deliverables such as locks and keys, employee training, O&M
manuals, warranty documentation, etc. The “Substantial Completion, Use and Possession
Prior to Completion (Beneficial Occupancy/Conditional Acceptance), Final Acceptance
and Transfer Coordination Procedure” outlines the transition management process from
completion of a contract or work item to final transfer of the facility and/or system by Rail
Program Development to DART Operations.
| AECOM 30 Revision 4 – April 2009
4.0 INTEGRATED TEST PLAN MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
Establishing and strictly adhering to a system of management and control of all on-site
activities, including construction/installation work and testing, is critical to the success of
all LRT projects. Only when an approved and in-place management and control system
of this type exists will the work be able to proceed safely, on schedule, and with a
minimum of conflicts between DART and all other parties. Key to the success of the
Integrated Test Program is keeping DART LRT senior Rail Program Development staff
informed of the current progress of the ITP and providing them with an early warning of
any potential issues that may negatively impact project completion.
4.1 Test Phase Operating Procedures
To successfully execute all Integrated Tests and final acceptance tests, day-to-day testing
operations must be governed by a pre-planned series of procedures. These procedures
were designed in response to the complexity of interfaces between multiple contractors
and the various facilities and systems that will be concurrently under construction.
Adding to the complexity are the potential on-site safety hazards associated with working
close to high-voltage OCS equipment, train movements, and heavy construction
equipment.
The SIC shall develop specific procedures for the start-up process and testing using the
DART Light Rail System Book of Operating Rules to control test and construction
operations during the testing and start-up period. The Light Rail System Book of
Operating Rules, Section VIII “Test Operations,” defines the Test Operations parameters.
In addition, all current and appropriate operating rules, DART Transportation Department
Standard Operating Procedures, and emergency procedures shall apply.
The above mentioned rules and procedures shall be put into effect when the CMGC-1
Contractor notifies the RCM that the first energized TPSS is available for Integrated
Testing. When approved by DART, the test procedures included in this ITP shall provide
Rail Program Development with the ability to manage the activities of all personnel
directly involved in the Integrated Testing. These include the CMGC’s personnel,
contractors, consultants, and DART employees.
4.2 Track Allocation Procedure
Access to various construction or building sites within what will become the operational
ROW of the LRT System is a key issue within the Integrated Testing Process.
Periodically, contractors require access on new track segments, prior to revenue service,
to perform dynamic testing (i.e.-testing involving an SLRV). The SIC controls access
from the period when the OCS has been energized to when the Line Section or other area
has been transferred to DART Operations for pre-revenue service training. Access on
these new segments is coordinated in a Start-Up Track Allocation Meeting in a manner
similar to the regular Track Allocation Meetings. The Track Allocation Procedure allows
construction, installation, and testing activities to be coordinated and accomplished safely
| AECOM 31 Revision 4 – April 2009
and efficiently, and will help to avoid conflicts with DART revenue service or
maintenance activities. The Track Allocation Procedure requires all interested parties to
meet weekly with the DART Rail Operations Division to coordinate access to portions of
the ROW under DART control. This allows the contractors and SIC test personnel to
plan their work to accommodate existing LRT schedules, and the SIC to set access
priorities. In addition, activities involving the existing operating segments must be
coordinated and comply with the DART Rail Operations Division’s Track Allocation
Program. However, it should be noted that the majority of the construction will be new
and therefore except where the new construction interfaces with the existing LRT system,
the new construction will not be under the control of DART Operations.
During Integrated Testing, the SIC shall facilitate and lead the Track Allocation
meetings, with participation by the CORs, RCMs, DART personnel, the CMGCs, the
design/build contractors, and the other contractors as required by the Special Provisions
of the construction contracts. Working with all of the above interested parties, the SIC
shall establish access allocation window priorities, taking into account the importance of
maintaining the overall schedule, the criticality of ongoing contractor work, the potential
impact that rescheduling tests may have on other tests; and the availability of personnel
and equipment needed for the tests. In cases where contractor work requires temporary
de-energization of a TPSS or the OCS, DART will issue a Red Tag to the contractor.
DART will not restore the traction power until all Red Tags have been returned to
DART. DART’s LRT Rail System Book of Operating Rules defines in detail the Track
Allocation and Red Tag processes.
4.3 DART Training Coordination
Training DART Operations personnel is an important element of system activation within
the Start-Up process. DART’s Rail Transportation and Maintenance Training Section
has the responsibility to ensure DART’s supervisory personnel and/or instructors are
sufficiently knowledgeable in regard to system design features and general operation.
They should be able to train those personnel who shall be directly responsible for
operating and maintaining the facilities and equipment. This requires close coordination
between DART’s Rail Training Section and the SIC. As DART personnel will be
supporting Integrated Testing by monitoring and operating equipment and systems, and
will be participating in Systems RDs during the same period, certain aspects of this
training should be completed before the Integrated Testing phase begins.
Facilities and Systems portions of the construction contracts vary with respect to the
training requirements for the DART O&M personnel. Some contracts require the
supplier of the contractor’s equipment to provide limited on-site training and instruction
by factory-trained representatives. Several systems contracts such as signals, vehicles,
traction electrification, and communications specify that the contractors have to develop
formalized training programs. Depending on the complexity, these training programs
may also include lesson plans and classroom instruction to reinforce the on-site training
and instruction. Based on specific contract requirements during final acceptance testing
and Integrated Testing, familiarization opportunities for DART personnel may include
| AECOM 32 Revision 4 – April 2009
on-site orientation, witnessing of tests, and hands-on operation of equipment. The
participation of DART personnel in the Integrated Testing processes will enhance and
augment their regular training.
The SIC shall closely work with DART’s Transportation and Maintenance Training
Section, and the RCMs/CORs to establish detailed training schedules compatible with the
test program schedules. The SIC shall also work with the RCMs/CORs to ensure that the
CMGCs and the contractors deliver all O&M manuals and other related data in
accordance with their approved contract schedules, and that these items are transmitted to
the applicable DART departments, as previously discussed in Section 3.9.
4.4 Test Program Status Reporting
Reporting on the status of the various integrated tests keeps DART LRT management
informed of the day-to-day status of individual contracts and of the status of the system
as a whole. Of particular importance is reporting the status of those tests that can have an
impact on the test schedule of other contracts. Delay or unsuccessful execution of these
critical tests could cause a delay to other vital tests or the completion of essential
installations. Close monitoring on the status of the various tests shall enable DART to
take any necessary corrective action in a timely manner.
The SIC shall track and report on the status of the tests during the Integrated Test phases
using the Master List of tests (see Appendix A). The SIC shall keep the Master List of
the tests current by indicating the scheduled and actual dates of each test, as well as the
disposition of each test.
To enable a timely review of all test-related issues and resolution of any problems, the
SIC shall prepare monthly progress reports on the status of the Integrated Test Program.
The monthly reports shall include, but not be limited to the following information:
• Tests completed during the report month with their dispositions;
• Test requirements identified (example SCADA operational; OCS
energized; SLRVs available);
• Tests expected to be completed during the following month;
• Problems encountered and resolved;
• Action(s) required for resolution of unresolved problems.
Immediately prior to the beginning of DART revenue service on a specific Line Section,
the SIC shall prepare a report on the test program describing the current overall status of
testing. The report shall include the following information:
• A summary of the test program's history, achievements, lessons
learned, and current status, including remaining test requirements;
• A summary of operational restrictions and any problems or issues
remaining unresolved, with recommended solutions;

DOCUMENTS
The following documents provide the basis for and/or augmentation to the requirements of the
ITP:
Capital Improvement Project Management Plan (CIPMP) – Outlines the program for each
project element; including engineering tasks, project participants, interfaces, and schedules for
design and construction.
Change Control Procedures – Procedures for managing and approving project changes; including
the functions and responsibilities of the Change Control Board (CCB).
Contract Drawings – Standard- and Line Section-specific drawings that identify safety and
operational requirements as part of the overall contract provisions.
Contract Specifications – Technical specifications that define safety and operational
requirements as part of the overall contract provisions. These may be standard specifications for
the entire LRT system or specifically applicable to certain Line Sections. Contract
Specifications may also encompass technical specifications developed for the procurement,
installation, or construction of system equipment and facilities.
Design Coordination Meeting Minutes – Provides documentation for DART-approved
modifications and changes implemented during the design process.
DART Design Criteria Manual - Contains comprehensive guidelines for the LRT Project
Facilities and Systems designs, as well as CADD standards implementation.
Fire/Life Safety Committee (FLSC) Meeting Minutes - Documents and describes the
requirements of member cities’ fire and/or building codes including agreed-upon variances,
modifications and amendments.
Light Rail System Book of Operating Rules - Delineates operating rules to be followed on the
DART LRT System.
LRT Operations and Maintenance Cost Model - Identifies and estimates DART’s annual
operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. In addition, defines the personnel needed for the
Start-Up process and their associated costs.
LRT Standard Operating Procedures – Outlines the standard operating procedures followed on
the DART LRT System.
Operations and Maintenance Plan (OMP) - Establishes guidelines for carrying out the
operational and maintenance functions of the LRT system in conformance with the Systems
Safety and Security Program Plan (SSPP).
Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) - Identifies safety-critical areas, evaluates the frequency and
severity of hazards, and identifies potential hazard resolution through applicable systems safety
design criteria. Also identifies controls used to mitigate the identified hazards. A database of
hazards is maintained which tracks the status of identified hazards and their controls.
| AECOM E-1 Revision 4 – April 2009
Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) - Contains requirements and procedures to ensure that contracted
products and services are produced and delivered as specified in the Contract Documents.
Resident Construction Manager’s (RCM) Manual – Provides policies and procedures that the
Resident Construction Manager (RCM) will utilize to administer DART contracts through final
design (if applicable), manufacturing, installation, construction, final testing, and handover to
DART.
Safety and Security Certification Plan (SSCP) - Ensures that established safety and security
requirements are achieved so that the LRT System is safe to begin revenue service. This is
accomplished using a structured process that establishes safety and security design requirements
based on hazard analysis, applicable codes, standards, and criteria. Safety and security
certification documents that these requirements have been met at each stage of the project. In
addition, the certification documents certify that each element incorporates the necessary safety
and security requirements prior to revenue service.
Safety and Security Management Plan (SSMP) – Ensures that the design, construction,
installation, and testing of all system elements identified as safety- and security-critical meet or
exceed identified requirements. The SSMP also provides verification of operational readiness to
offer high quality, safe and secure transportation for DART passengers, employees, and
members of the public when revenue service begins; and that design and construction decisions
involving safety and security are logically evaluated and documented; and that determinations
regarding risk acceptance are clearly communicated and understood.
System Security and Emergency Preparedness Plan (SSEPP) – A plan developed by DART
Police and administered by the Manager of Emergency Preparedness. The State Safety
Oversight (SSO) Agency has accepted this plan as complying with the requirements of 49 CFR
Part 659 for a separate System Security Plan (SSP).
System Safety and Security Program Plan (SSPP) – A plan developed and maintained by the
DART Operations Division to identify hazards associated with DART’s transportation system
and to eliminate, minimize or control these hazards. The State Safety Oversight (SSO) Agency
has accepted this plan as complying with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 659 for a separate
System Safety Program Plan.
