Station Modernization Program

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Station Modernization Program represents a design and construction procurement by Dallas County, Texas, for the modification of twenty-three (23) Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) stations located along the Red Line and Blue Line. The primary objective of this program is to enable level boarding across the entire platform extent at these stations while simultaneously enhancing accessibility, patron comfort, and security features to meet current ridership expectations. Interested contractors must submit proposals for comprehensive design and construction services necessary to modernize these facilities. The solicitation was posted on April 10, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 12, 2026. Bidders should review the complete solicitation document for specific details regarding response requirements, site visit obligations, bidders' conference participation, pricing structures, and any evaluation criteria that will be applied to assess contractor qualifications and proposal quality.

The solicitation document indicates that DART may implement set-asides or preferences for minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs), though specific designation details and participation requirements should be confirmed directly in the solicitation materials. Contractors should review the solicitation for information regarding any incumbent contractors or existing vendors currently serving DART facilities, as well as any existing infrastructure or technology systems that must be integrated during the modernization process. Specific award values, budget allocations, or funding ranges for the Station Modernization Program should be detailed within the solicitation document and require direct review for accurate financial planning and bid preparation. Potential bidders are strongly encouraged to obtain and thoroughly review the complete solicitation package, including all attachments and exhibits, to ensure full compliance with DART's technical specifications, contract terms, and submission requirements for this substantial transit infrastructure modernization initiative.
