LETTER OF INVITATION FOR BID

September 25, 2026

ATTENTIONT: Prospective Bidder

SUBJECT: INVITATION FOR BIDS (IFB) FOR IFB No. C145497C1241, Brighton to Roxford Segment 4 Grade Crossing Improvements - Polk Street

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has established a contracting opportunity to provide improved network integration along the Antelope Valley Line (AVL) corridor. While originally designed as a single project, it has been strategically broken down into four distinct segments to optimize delivery and construction. Upon completion of the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for Segment 4A, Metro will move the at-grade crossings portion into the pre-construction phase. This allows safety improvement work at four at-grade crossings – specifically prioritizing the Polk St. At-Grade Crossing location ahead of the remaining segments. The resultant Contract, if awarded, will be state/locally funded and is subject to fiscal year funding. The estimated Contract value is $9M to $12M.

You are hereby invited to submit to Metro a bid, to furnish all of the labor, materials, and any other related items required for the performance of Contract No. IFB No. C145497C1241.

An original and one (1) electric copy provided on a USB stick of all bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes and delivered by hand or mail to the address below. Bids must be received by Metro's 9th Floor receptionist no later than 2:00 p.m. on Monday, October 12, 2026. Bids received after that time will not be considered. The only acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt is the date/time stamp imprinted upon the Bid package by the date/time recorder at the 9th floor Procurement Reception Desk. A virtual public bid opening will be held shortly thereafter.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) One Gateway Plaza Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952 9th Floor Receptionist

The complete IFB documents are available for download at Metro’s Vendor Portal http://business.metro.net
