AMTRAK RIVER TO RIVER RAIL RESILIENCY

Amtrak is soliciting construction services for the River to River Rail Resiliency project under solicitation number X127-26230. The primary objective is to enhance flood resilience at critical rail infrastructure by installing deployable flood barriers at two First Avenue Ventilation Structures and permanent generators at three ventilation structures. These measures are intended to limit floodwater damage, minimize operational downtime after flooding, and maximize the duration of tunnel operations during storm events. The anticipated construction start is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. Interested contractors must submit their responses by September 15, 2026, via the Amtrak procurement portal, email, or mail. Submissions must include a pre-qualification statement and three specific exhibits: Exhibit A for project experience and references, Exhibit B for personnel qualifications of the project manager and superintendent, and Exhibit C for business type and capabilities. Applicants are required to provide detailed information regarding licensing, financial capability, bonding, and safety records. The primary point of contact for this effort is Shermaine Manifold within the Amtrak Procurement Department in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
