📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed project involves final design and construction activities for the following components: 1) replacement of three (3) older, higher emission, freight locomotives with lower emission, Tier 4 Environmental Protection Agency compliant freight locomotives; and 2) installation of a Positive Train Control (PTC) system on SMART’s corridor between Windsor, CA and Healdsburg, CA. The project aligns with the selection criteria by enhancing safety and resilience as it will help expand SMART’s short line freight rail capacity while reducing the climate impacts of the freight rail services, as well as provide benefits to passenger rail commuter services through extension of SMART PTC systems across several grade crossings, allowing for return of rail services into rural, northern Sonoma County. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the state of California will contribute funds totaling a 50 percent non-Federal match.
