RR crossing-PE/instal

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Master Agreement ASE34 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on railroad infrastructure services, specifically for preliminary engineering (PE), construction engineering and inspection (CEI), and flagging services. The IDV primarily supports grade separation projects involving railroad crossings, with a specific emphasis on infrastructure modifications where public road systems intersect with railroad right of way and tracks. This master agreement enables FDOT to efficiently coordinate and execute complex transportation infrastructure improvements, particularly in locations like Hernando County where railroad crossings require advanced engineering and safety interventions.

The master agreement is awarded to CSX Transportation, Inc. and was originally executed on September 15, 1998, with a current performance period extending from May 29, 2019, to December 30, 2050. The contract is a state-level master agreement specific to Florida, utilizing a Force Account Method for reimbursement. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, individual change orders have ranged from $50,000 to over $1.1 million for specific project components. The IDV allows for progressive billing, detailed project estimates, and comprehensive engineering services with strict compliance requirements, including E-Verify employment eligibility verification for new employees involved in the projects.
