This document is a Technical Specification for the design, manufacturing, and delivery of 60-foot light rail vehicles for the Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro). The project overview indicates that Metro is seeking to purchase up to 200 light rail vehicles to expand its regional transit system. The solicitation requires detailed technical specifications for the vehicle design, performance, and features, as well as information on delivery schedules, warranty coverage, and after-sales support. Responses are due by June 30, 2023, and Metro anticipates making contract awards by September 1, 2023. The initial contract term is for five years, with options to renew for up to ten additional years.

The pricing terms specify that vendors must provide detailed unit pricing for the base vehicle as well as any optional features or accessories. Vendors must also identify any small, minority, or disadvantaged business enterprise set-asides or participation requirements. While there is no incumbent supplier identified, Metro notes that the current light rail fleet is manufactured by two leading industry providers. Funding for this procurement will be provided through a combination of state and federal transit grants, with the total project budget estimated at $400 million.
