The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) is soliciting bids for the Arroyo Simi Four Rural Bridges Rehabilitation and Scour Mitigation Project (Contract C3174-27). The project involves structural rehabilitation, earthwork grading, and the implementation of riprap scour countermeasures for four specific bridges (MP 427.70, 428.15, 428.63, and 429.26) on the Ventura Subdivision. This critical infrastructure supports Metrolink, Amtrak, and Union Pacific Railroad services. The scope of work includes vegetation management, channel excavation, and backfilling with native materials. The contract specifies a performance period of 265 construction days, requiring the contractor to provide sufficient manpower to work on two bridges simultaneously, one bent at a time. Compliance requirements are extensive, including adherence to the Buy America and Build America Acts for steel, iron, and construction materials. The contractor must comply with California prevailing wage laws and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, maintaining payroll records for three years post-completion. Personnel requirements include mandatory safety training, including a 40-hour general course and a 4-hour Roadway Workers Protections course for all staff entering the railroad right-of-way. Additionally, the contractor is responsible for all quality control testing and must adhere to strict packaging, marking, and environmental standards, including the recycling of 100 percent of uncontaminated packaging materials and compliance with Cal/OSHA lead-coated surface regulations. Proposals must be submitted via the Planetbids Portal, including a detailed subcontractor list and evidence of a project manager with at least five years of railroad experience.
