Dispatch Workstation Hardware Refresh

The North County Transit District (NCTD) is seeking to acquire new replacement workstation computers and displays specifically for its Rail Dispatching operations. These workstations will be installed at the Sprinter Operations Facility and various satellite locations to ensure the continued reliability and efficiency of train dispatching activities. The hardware selected must meet the technical specifications outlined in the Train Management Dispatching System (TMDS) Hardware Requirements (Rev 1.1) provided by Wabtec Corporation, ensuring compatibility with existing dispatch software and operational standards. The procurement process is formalized under solicitation number 36030, with a posting date of May 27, 2025, and a response deadline of June 10, 2025. The project’s budget is estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and the contract will be managed by the California-based North County Transit District, with primary contact being Kaylin Starnes. Supporting documentation includes vendor information forms from other procurement processes, such as those from the Shelby County Board of Education, which emphasize the importance of comprehensive vendor data collection, including licensing, certification, and compliance with non-discrimination policies. These forms highlight the importance of submitting complete and accurate vendor details, including tax identification, certification statuses, and contact information, which are essential for contract approval and ensuring adherence to procurement standards. The overall goal of this hardware refresh is to support the ongoing operational needs of NCTD’s dispatching functions, ensuring that the dispatching infrastructure remains current, reliable, and compliant with industry standards.
