The California High-Speed Rail Authority is soliciting Statements of Qualifications for the Merced to Madera Civil Works Project under solicitation HSR26-16. This procurement utilizes a two-step best value process to select a design-build team for the construction of at-grade and above-grade high-speed rail alignment in Madera, California. The scope of work includes embankment construction, drainage, major structures over waterways and roadway crossings, retaining walls, and animal crossings.

Financial evaluation includes a pass/fail gate for a project value of 2.4 billion dollars, with weighted scoring for credit ratings, profitability, liquidity, leverage, and performance. Shortlisted firms will enter a Pre-Proposal Collaboration Period before submitting a Firm Fixed Price Proposal. The Authority anticipates requiring a 100 percent payment bond and a 50 percent performance bond.
