Procurement of Maintenance of Way and Operations Support Services

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) for the procurement of Maintenance of Way and Operations Support Services. MARTA is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide engineering support services for the maintenance of way, train control, and control center projects, programs, and initiatives supporting MARTA's heavy rail and light rail networks, as well as associated infrastructure. The scope of services includes providing technical support to MARTA's Operations Division and Department of Mechanical Operations to ensure the reliable, safe, and efficient operation of the transit system. Proposals are due by September 6, 2024, and MARTA anticipates awarding contracts to multiple successful proponents, with MARTA issuing work orders through a competitive solicitation process among the awarded contractors.

MARTA has established a 26% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal for this procurement, and proponents must demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this goal or provide justification if the goal cannot be met. The RFP includes provisions related to nondiscrimination, equal employment opportunity, and compliance with federal and state regulations. While the RFP does not specify the contract term or provide details on pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements or sources, or contract amounts, MARTA has indicated that the documents can be reviewed and downloaded from its website starting on or about August 7, 2024, and potential proponents are encouraged to participate in the pre-proposal conference and other project-related activities at MARTA's headquarters.
