The project involves the demolition, excavation, and disposal of existing grade crossing signal equipment, as well as the furnishing, installation, testing, and placing into service of wayside equipment for Automatic Highway Crossing Warning Systems at eleven (11) grade crossings. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection will be held on March 14, 2019, and sealed bids will be accepted by MCRR until 2:00 PM on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. The successful bidder will be the lowest responsible and eligible bidder as determined by MCRR and MassDOT.

This project has a recommended 6% MBE/WBE goal, and all contractors and subcontractors working on the railroad right-of-way must have an approved Drug and Alcohol testing plan in compliance with Federal Railroad Administration regulations. MCRR and MassDOT reserve the right to reject any or all bids, delete any bid items, or proceed with the work in any other manner deemed to be in their best interest.
