CR 32A Railroad Crossing Relocation & Grade Separation Project

Yolo County is soliciting proposals for the County Road 32A Railroad Crossing Relocation and Grade Separation Project to eliminate at-grade crossing deficiencies and improve safety and multimodal travel. The project involves shifting the crossing east by 1.4 miles to create a perpendicular overhead structure over Union Pacific Railroad tracks, featuring two 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders that serve as Class II bike lanes. Additionally, the existing CR 32A segment will be converted into a Class I bikeway. The selected consultant will be responsible for a comprehensive scope of work including Preliminary Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) services, Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E), environmental technical studies, right-of-way engineering and acquisition, and design support during construction. The contract is expected to be a five-year agreement with a maximum value of 4.8 million dollars, supported by a 5.2 million dollar grant from the Federal Railroad Administration with a performance period ending July 31, 2030. Proposals are due by October 22, 2026, and will be evaluated based on staff qualifications and experience with similar work, requiring a minimum of three similar projects completed within the last five years. The project must comply with various regulatory standards, including NEPA, CEQA, and CPUC General Order 88-B, and all engineering and surveying work must be performed by California-registered professionals. Financial management systems must adhere to FAR 48 CFR Part 31 and other federal cost principles.
