1. Introduction

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is implementing capital improvements projects on the J and M lines to increase transit and pedestrian safety, accessibility, and operational efficiency. Part of these improvements is the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant accessible platforms and ramps for patrons to board and alight SFMTA light rail vehicles. SFMTA has historically used cast-in-place (CIP) concrete to construct accessible boarding platforms and ramps. This construction method requires temporary shutdown(s) of train service operations on lines adjacent to the new platforms. To mitigate these transit impacts, the SFMTA is piloting the use of modular precast concrete platforms and ramps.

The SFMTA is issuing this invitation for bids to select a fabricator to participate in this piloting effort to be performed at select locations along the J and M transit lines.

2. Scope of Work

The fabricator will engineer, prepare signed and sealed shop drawings, fabricate, transport, deliver modular precast reinforced concrete elements and integrated elements to jobsites, provide assembly and connection instructions, and provide on-site technical services during installation. SFMTA crew or its contractors will install the precast ADA platform and ramp atop existing cast-in-place concrete footings at eight (8) separate locations.

The precast elements will include ramps, platforms, and retaining/support walls, integrated with embedded elements such as tactile warning strips, attachment plates for painted galvanized steel handrailing (to be procured and installed by SFMTA), anti-graffiti coatings, anti-slip surface coatings, grooved finishes, and waterproofing systems.

There is a total of eight (8) locations where SFMTA plans to deploy precast ADA Accessible Stops as listed under Section 12. The fabrication and delivery sequence of eight locations is listed under Section 12. SFMTA reserves the right to modify the total quantity, delivery schedule, and fabrication sequence of ADA Accessible Stops. Work orders for subsequent locations will be released only upon SFMTA’s final acceptance of the completed work at each preceding location.

To illustrate platform and ramp conceptual configurations, SFMTA presents a pre-cast option at Niagara Ave / San Jose Ave as shown in Attachment 4. The Fabricator is responsible for the complete design of the platform and ramps, including perimeter walls, which may be monolithic or constructed from multiple pieces.

Attachments 1 and 2 show Cast-In-Place accessible stop civil and structural drawings for eight (8) locations. Attachment 3 includes specifications and product sheets. Attachment 5 tabulates running slope, cross sloping, ramp slope at eight

o Cleanliness of forms and proper application of release agent (no pooling or contamination on steel).

Reinforcement Steel Cage & Cover:

o Rebar size, grade, spacing, lap splices, and tying/welding compliance.

o Clear cover verification: Ensure plastic chairs or concrete bolsters maintain exact distance to forms.

Embeds & Hardware Verification:

o Individual integrated element verification per specifications and manufactory requirements.

o Exact layout and securing of required integrated elements; in addition, lifting inserts/anchors, grout tubes, connection dowels, and other elements as required.

o Inserts must be rigidly anchored, so they do not shift during vibration.

Specifications 12 EK

5.9.3 Concrete Batching & Placement Phase

Batching & Slump/Flow Test: Verification of raw material batch weights, water-cement ratio (w/c), target slump/slump-flow (for SCC), air content, and concrete temperature prior to placement per specifications.

Test Cylinder/Cube Casting: Formal sampling of concrete batches for compressive strength testing (specifically for stripping, shipping, and 28-day design strength).

5.9.4 Stripping & De-Tensioning Phase

Early Strength Verification: Compressive strength cylinder test results must meet or exceed the specified stripping/release strength (f'c) before releasing strand tension or lifting the element out of the mold.

De-tensioning Sequence: Verifying that strand de-tensioning (cut or de-tensioned gradually) follows the engineered sequence to prevent eccentric loading and cracking.

5.9.5 Post-Pour & Final QC Inspection

Visual & Surface Finish Check: Inspection for honeycombing, spalling, air voids (bug holes), micro-cracking, or exposed reinforcement.

As-Built Dimensional Verification: Checking element length, width, thickness, camber, sweep, diagonal squareness, and location of cast-in embeds against project tolerances of 1/8 inches.
