📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed project will conduct final design and construction activities for various improvements (e.g., new tracks, station building, and equipment) to expand the CRANDIC Smith-Dows Rail Yard. The project aligns with the selection criteria by improving system and service performance and safety as it will remove capacity and facility constraints, make interchanging and switching operations safer, ensure fewer locomotive and crew truck traffic and emissions, and create a dependable reporting location and storm shelter for CRANDIC operating staff. It will also help reduce reliance of other yard facilities in central Cedar Rapids. CRANDIC will provide a 50 percent non-Federal match. This project qualifies for the statutory set-aside for projects in Rural Areas.
