The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is soliciting bids for the Guadalupe Light Rail Vehicle Wash Improvements project, identified as Contract C25134F. The scope of work involves the complete removal and replacement of the existing light rail vehicle wash system at Building F of the Guadalupe Division with a new hybrid drive-through and gantry wash system designed for 88.5-foot-long vehicles. The project encompasses comprehensive civil, trackwork, electrical, and plumbing improvements, including the installation of a prefabricated canopy, a new concrete slab, a wastewater collection trench, and a water reclamation system featuring reverse osmosis and softening capabilities. Work will be performed within an active rail yard, requiring strict adherence to safety and operational procedures to ensure the continuing function of the light rail system. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the total bid price, with an engineer's estimate ranging between 4.5 million and 5.5 million dollars. Bidders must be pre-qualified and submit their proposals electronically via the OpenGov portal by the final deadline of November 13, 2026. Key requirements include the provision of bid security equal to 5 percent of the total base bid price, as well as performance and payment bonds for public works. Because the project is federally funded, it is subject to Federal Transit Administration clauses, including Buy America requirements for steel and rolling stock over 150,000 dollars, prevailing wage rates, and mandatory registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations.
