Pre-construction Services Long Lead Double Track (LLDT) Rail

The Port has been awarded $45,908,418 in grant funding from the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) Rail Infrastructure Improvements for Sustainable Exports (RIISE) Port and Freight Infrastructure Program (PFIP). The RIISE project supports building new infrastructure to enhance rail capacity, accommodate increased freight tonnage and train frequencies, mitigate potential service disruptions, and reduce long-term repair and maintenance costs. PFIP will fund elements of this project including a replacement of the San Joaquin River Rail Bridge; expansion of the Port’s long lead track to two tracks; and procurement of a zero-emission electric railcar mover. The project will help reduce trucks traversing neighborhood streets, consistent with the priorities of near-port communities and the Stockton AB 617 Community Steering Committee, reducing public health harms and negative environmental and economic impacts. The Port invites proposal submissions from interested and qualified firms to provide the below mentioned list of services. Proposals must document the resources and capability for performing said services. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, the respondents’ demonstrated competency and experience in delivering services of a similar scope and type, and availability of personnel and resources. The District intends to engage in a one (1) year contract with the successful Respondent. Project Description The RIISE Project includes three primary components: 1. Long lead track in BNSF ROW. The additional track will be supported by a new structure across Fresno Avenue, at the border of the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. The additional track crosses under the State Route (SR) 4 Crosstown Freeway before entering the Port. 2. Double track improvements through the Port’s East and West Complexes, requiring close coordination with the Port tenants and the shortline railroad, Central California Traction (CCT). Note that CCT interchanges with both The Union Pacific Railroad and The BNSF Railway at The Port of Stockton. 3. McCloy yard expansion in the Port’s West Complex. The additional yard tracks require modification and closure of existing at grade crossings, requiring new roadway access improvements. Soil remediation is required prior to the McCloy Yard construction, which will require coordination with the Port’s hazardous materials consultants, who are providing oversight of the remediation work. Pre-Construction activities are anticipated to begin December 2026 through May 2027.
