3-F. Pricing Sheet - Rail Geometry Testing.xlsx

This is a Pricing Sheet for Rail Geometry Testing services submitted to the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) in North Carolina for a comprehensive automated track inspection program. The pricing sheet is structured to capture costs for track inspection services across a five-year contract period consisting of an initial three-year term and two optional renewal years. The sheet includes line items for mobilization costs, testing services, and overtime rates, with estimated quantities and corresponding costs required for Years 1, 2, 3, Option Year 1, and Option Year 2. Additionally, the form provides space for bidders to propose optional or additional services beyond the base scope, allowing flexibility in service offerings. The total contract value for the initial three-year term is to be calculated based on the submitted pricing.

The pricing sheet requires bidders to provide unit costs and estimated quantities for all proposed services, with the structure allowing for year-over-year rate adjustments throughout the contract period. All pricing fields are currently blank with zero dollar placeholders, indicating this is a template awaiting contractor submission. The document specifies that unit of measure examples include day, mile, year, and each, providing guidance for bidders to align their pricing with the appropriate measurement standards. This pricing mechanism enables CATS to evaluate total lifecycle costs across the five-year potential contract duration while maintaining the flexibility to adjust service levels and costs annually based on operational needs and performance requirements for maintaining safe and reliable track conditions on the LYNX Blue Line's 40-mile rail infrastructure.
