Description

Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District is soliciting proposals for annual testing and measurement of track geometry, track strength, and rail profile across approximately 63.3 miles of passenger rail alignment and 23 miles of freight rail line, with potential additional track mileage during the agreement term. The work requires a hi-rail track geometry inspection vehicle and an automated measurement system capable of recording gauge, curvature, cross-level, surface, alignment, twist, warp, rail profile, and unloaded and loaded track-strength conditions in accordance with 49 CFR Part 213 for concrete-tie track. The consultant must provide qualified vehicle operators and testing personnel, required equipment and safety materials, data collection and analysis, and hard-copy and electronic reports. Personnel must meet FRA Track Worker Safety program requirements or complete the district's track safety training. The agreement has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options, and proposals must include a technical proposal, prior experience and five customer references, required certifications and forms, applicable conflict-of-interest information, a proposed fee schedule, a W-9 or equivalent, hi-rail vehicle inspection documentation, and other specified certifications.
