About this file

This document is an addendum to Request for Proposal (RFP) 25-19 issued by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) for the procurement of Wheel Scanning Measurement Devices. The addendum provides clarifications and revisions to the RFP and technical specifications, including the deletion of the requirement to detect flat spots and the change to the schedule of payment for maintenance and warranty work. The RFP calendar is also updated, with the deadline for submission of proposer questions moved to March 6, 2018, and the date for publishing official answers moved to March 11, 2018. The response due date remains March 14, 2018, with estimated dates for in-person presentations, contract execution, and service start.

The addendum also notes that the liquidated damages section has been deleted in its entirety. The MBTA is seeking to procure two Wheel Measurement Systems to be installed at its maintenance facility yards, which will enable rail vehicle maintenance to monitor and schedule wheel sets for wheel trueing and replacement.

CLARIFICATIONS AND REVISIONS TO RFP & SPECIFICATIONS

Scope of Work – Technical Specification EE&QA-897 Section 3.1 General Requirements, bullet j, page 5 To further clarify from Addendum No. 3, Wheel Profile systems do not measure weight of passing vehicles; please delete this this requirement.

In the Scope of Works Page 5 Section 3.1 General Requirements bullet (j) there is a requirement for detecting imperfections and flat spots. Please delete the requirement for detecting flat spots from the specification, as our understanding is that detecting flat spots requires a separate system and we are looking for the wheel profile.

Section 6.1.3, Schedule of Payment, page 14

For the last item on the Schedule of Payment, the cumulative amount of 10% for Maintenance/Warranty work and support, will be broken down into 4 equal, separate, sequential payments, in a chronological manner, for the remainder of the contract on an annual basis instead of cumulatively at the end of the fifth year of the Contract. It shall read as follows:

“2.5% Maintenance/Warranty
2.5% Maintenance/Warranty
2.5% Maintenance/Warranty
2.5%Maintenance/Warranty

Cumulative 100% Total for milestones”
