AI Contract Overview

The Modified Project under the Castle Airport Master Plan involves two major phases of development on a site in Atwater, California, focused on enhancing rail and logistics infrastructure to support agricultural goods handling. The first phase includes developing 70 acres within the Castle Rail District to accommodate pre-shipment processing and cross-docking operations for Central Valley producers, featuring four new refrigerated warehouse buildings totaling approximately 702,000 square feet and 5,500 linear feet of new rail track operated by Patriot Rail. The second phase entails a rail expansion of 13,551 linear feet and the creation of a freight staging and laydown area at the Alert Area, which will be reconfigured to manage container off-loading, storage, and cross-docking, including the establishment of a dedicated facility for decommissioning windmills. Compared to the original plan, the Modified Project adds a total of 19,051 linear feet of new rail and 5,300 linear feet of internal roadways designed to facilitate truck access to the warehouse buildings, without introducing any new at-grade rail crossings. The precise locations and dimensions of the warehouse structures remain undetermined, but all will be equipped with refrigeration capabilities to meet the needs of perishable agricultural shipments. The project is led by Merced County, with Mark Mimms serving as the primary point of contact.

Full Description

The Modified Project includes two phases of development on the project site, which consist of: 1. Developing 70 acres within the Castle Rail District plan area to support pre-shipment processing and cross-docking for Central Valley growers, producers, and processors (agricultural goods), including the addition of four processing and storage (warehouse) buildings and 5,500 additional track feet of new rail operated by Patriot Rail. 2. Completing a rail expansion project (13,551 track feet of rail) and a new freight staging and laydown area at the site of the Alert Area to support container off-loading, container storage and cross-docking. Once converted to a laydown yard, this area will support the off-loading of incoming and staging of outgoing cargo, including the development of a windmill decommissioning facility. The exact location and size of the proposed warehouse buildings is not known at this time; however, the four new warehouse buildings are anticipated to have a combined size of approximately 702,000 square feet, and each building would include refrigerated areas. Overall, compared to the Original Project, the Modified Project would result in the construction of 19,051 linear feet of new rail track, and 5,300 new linear feet of internal roadways. The internal roadways would provide circulation for truck traffic to access the proposed warehouse buildings. The new rail track would not require the installation of new at-grade rail crossings.
