Solicitation # C25134F
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is soliciting pre-qualifications for Contract C25134F, the Guadalupe Light Rail Vehicle Wash Improvements project. This project involves the 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. The scope of work includes the installation of industrial wash equipment, programmable controls, a water reclamation and filtration system, a new foundation and prefabricated canopy, and necessary electrical and plumbing upgrades. The estimated construction cost for the project is between 4.5 million and 5.5 million dollars. To be eligible for the subsequent Invitation for Bid, bidders must be approved through a pre-qualification process by submitting a Statement of Qualifications and a completed qualification questionnaire via the OpenGov portal. The final deadline for pre-qualification submissions is November 16, 2026, at 2:00 pm PT. Minimum eligibility requires a valid California contractor's license with at least 10 years of experience as a Class A (General Contractor) or Class B (General Building) classification. Bidders must also provide proof of bonding capacity, maintain liability insurance of at least 1 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars aggregate, and ensure all entities in a joint venture are separately pre-qualified. Evaluation is based on a scoring matrix and interviews, with a minimum total score of 55 points required to avoid disqualification. Because the work occurs in an active light rail environment, the selected contractor must comply with VTA safety and operating procedures and coordinate closely to minimize operational impacts. Additionally, the contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and comply with prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
