7-Ff. Pricing Sheet Rail Geometry Testing.pdf

This is a pricing worksheet for a request for proposals issued by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) in North Carolina for rail geometry testing services. CATS operates over 40 miles of rail infrastructure on the LYNX Blue Line, including double mainline track, storage tracks, yard tracks, crossings, and interlockings. The RFP seeks automated track inspection services to identify, assess, and mitigate track geometry defects in accordance with industry standards and maintenance protocols to ensure passenger safety and sustain a state of good repair. The contract includes an initial term of three years, with the City retaining the option to renew for up to two additional consecutive one-year terms thereafter.

The pricing worksheet requires vendors to submit all-inclusive costs in United States dollars covering mobilization, testing, and overtime rates for each year of the initial three-year term and optional renewal years. Vendors must provide estimated quantities and unit pricing for track inspection services, with the ability to add line items for additional or optional services. The cost structure requires pricing for Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Option Year 1, and Option Year 2, with a total contract value calculation for the initial three-year term. All pricing must reflect complete costs for which the City will be responsible, and vendors are permitted to identify additional costs associated with services as needed.
