Description
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority seeks a contractor to remove and replace the existing light rail vehicle wash system with a hybrid drive-through and gantry wash system. The work includes wash equipment and controls, water recycling and filtration, drainage collection and containment, embedded and ballast rail replacement, and a prefabricated canopy with foundations and settling pits. The system must support continuous drive-through washing and stationary gantry-based detailed cleaning, with a stated capacity of 60 light rail vehicles in an eight-hour period. Work will take place in an active rail yard and must be coordinated with ongoing maintenance and train operations. Bidders must meet the stated experience requirements, including rail-facility construction, automated vehicle wash or comparable specialized equipment work, and embedded track construction or replacement. A current California Class A or Class B contractor license is required. Addendum 4 removes the previously stated DBE participation goal; DBE participation is voluntary, while other business-diversity requirements remain. The solicitation package identifies 14 bid forms due with the bid, including bid security, subcontractor and DBE information, experience and references, and required certifications. The original bid bond or cashier's check is due by 4:00 p.m. on the next working day after bid opening. Bidders must also submit a pre-qualification application and receive VTA approval before bidding. Addendum 5 revises technical specifications and drawings, including track, grating, pavement, and concrete requirements, and establishes a fixed $150,000 bid amount for restricted-access permit and related fees. It also requires completion of work requiring the Track 10 shutdown within a 21-calendar-day shutdown period unless VTA approves an extension in writing.
