Panelized Crossovers, Turnouts, Diamond Crossing Complete and Special Track Components
Solicitation # 217529
Metra is soliciting bids for the procurement of new panelized crossovers, turnouts, diamond crossings, and special track components to be used within its commuter rail system across Will, Cook, and Lake Counties, Illinois. The primary objective is to install a new control point and replace obsolete or worn components to enhance operational reliability and safety. The contract will be awarded to the bidder providing the lowest responsive and responsible bid on a grand total basis, with the award process occurring within 90 days of the bid opening on November 11, 2026. Technical requirements mandate compliance with AREMA and ASTM standards, and all components must be shipped via flatbed truck in panels with rails and ties fully in place. Bidders must adhere to strict packaging and marking guidelines, including the use of nylon straps for loading and specific stenciling for weights and lifting points. The procurement includes rigorous compliance mandates, such as Buy America certifications for steel and iron products exceeding 150,000 dollars, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, and adherence to the Corrupt Practices Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Deliveries are designated for specific Metra Engineering Department facilities in Glenview and Chicago, with pricing required to include all freight, shipping, and handling costs. To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a signed contract signature page, a complete prime-subcontractor list, and bid on all requested items. Inspection will be conducted by Metra at the manufacturer's facility prior to shipment, and a one-year warranty is required from the date of delivery or final acceptance.
