High Speed Rail Bid
California, USA
Feb ’20 - Nov ‘20
9 months
California high-speed rail will connect the mega-regions of the State, contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, create jobs, and preserve agricultural and protected lands.
BACKGROUND
The System’s initial construction is located in California’s Central Valley and serves as the spine of the statewide system
The California High Speed Rail Authority previously awarded civil contracts for design and construction of Construction Packages (CPs) 1, 2-3, and 4 in the Central Valley, extending over 119 miles from Avenue 19 in Madera to Poplar Avenue near the City of Shafter.
The Authority is currently planning additional civil works that will extend the 119 miles south to Bakersfield, north to Merced, and west to San Jose. The Authority is currently environmentally clearing the high-speed rail alignments from Merced to San Jose, which must be done prior to civil works. The Track and Systems Contractor (Contractor) will build on these civil works provided by the CP contractors to provide a Rail Infrastructure System (RIS) suitable for high-speed rail operation, which will become the initial passenger carrying and revenue-generating section.
The Contractor will then operate, maintain and renew the rail infrastructure, and maintain the civil works, for a minimum of 30 years following commencement of revenue service.
The RIS will include:
Track
Platform Screen Doors Systems of 14 stations
Signalling
Communications Systems
Traction Power
Operations Control Centre
Maintenance Of Way Facilities
SCADA
Other Ancillary Systems
