The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority is soliciting pre-qualifications for Contract C25134F, the Guadalupe Light Rail Vehicle Wash Improvements project. This initiative 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 comprehensive scope of work includes civil and trackwork, electrical upgrades, plumbing, the installation of industrial wash equipment with water reclamation and filtration, and the construction of a prefabricated canopy structure. 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, firms must be approved through a rigorous pre-qualification process. Bidders are required to submit a Statement of Qualifications and a completed qualification questionnaire via the OpenGov portal by October 30, 2026, at 2:00 pm PT. Mandatory requirements include a California contractor's license with at least 10 years of experience as a Class A or B General Contractor, as well as registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations. Evaluation is based on essential requirements, organizational performance, and project experience, with specific minimum scoring thresholds and potential interviews required for qualification. Additional mandates include maintaining liability insurance of at least 1 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars aggregate, and providing a notarized statement of sufficient bonding capacity from an admitted surety insurer. Because the work occurs in an active light rail environment and involves the agency's only wash facility, the selected contractor must adhere to strict safety procedures and coordinate closely with the authority to minimize operational disruptions.
