The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, anticipates releasing a Request for Proposals (RFP) in January, 2024 for the above Project. The Agency, subject to Board of Directors' Approval, intends to award a Contract to the Successful Proposer for approximately a twenty-four (24) month base term for the Pre-construction Phase, with an option to issue Amendment for a twenty-six (26) month term to execute the Construction Phase if the parties agree on a Total Contract Price (TCP). The Successful Proposer will execute an Agreement for Services, please refer to upcoming solicitation document for details. The Project was conceived to address the safety and traffic operational issues at the Project site. The Project will eliminate the at-grade crossing at Rengstorff Avenue and replace it with a grade separation. Rengstorff Avenue is a major arterial connecting several business districts to US 101 and the Central Expressway. One hundred four (104) Caltrain commuter trains pass through the Rengstorff Avenue at-grade crossing daily. When trains cross Rengstorff Avenue, all other transportation modes come to a halt, resulting in congestion, trip delays, air quality impacts, and impacts on local and regional businesses. Unsafe situations arise at the crossing on a daily basis. A grade separation presents the best opportunity to solve the problem by separating the railroad from all vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. The Agency is committed to an open, collaborative, and transparent Project delivery experience with all delivery team members and Project-area stakeholders. The Agency has selected the Construction Manager General Contractor (CMGC) project delivery method to allow for early cost and budget certainty, allow early contractor involvement on construction means and methods to reduce cost and improve schedule, and incorporate Project features not achievable under the traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method. Specific Project goals and objectives include: • Meet the Project delivery schedule to achieve the target August 2028 completion date or earlier. • Meet the Project budget requirements, delivering a high-quality Project within or under the budget. • Keep the Project area open for business during and after construction. • Develop an effective partnership with the Project delivery team and affected Project stakeholders. • Enhance safety in the vicinity of the Project. This solicitation is for a public works project subject to State of California Labor Code and Prevailing Wage Laws when construction services are added to the Contract. A single Proposal is requested for both Pre-Construction Phase and Construction Phase Services solicited by this RFP. Selection will be on a best value basis, in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the upcoming solicitation. The Agency intends to manage and deliver the Project Pre-construction Phase, including the development of a TCP, under an Agreement with the Successful Proposer. If the TCP is acceptable to the Agency and agreed upon during the Pre-construction Phase, the Parties will execute an Amendment to bring the Construction Phase Work into the scope of the Contract. The Construction Phase Work, if awarded, would be subject to the California Labor Code requirements, including Prevailing Wage Laws. Proposers must certify compliance with applicable prevailing wage requirements in their Proposal. If the TCP is not accepted by the Agency, the Agency, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to advertise the Construction Services for competitive bidding. If the Agency issues a separate Procurement for the Construction Services, the Contractor is precluded from participating in this new Procurement. The Agency’s current Utility Work estimate escalated to the mid-point of Utility Work construction is forty-three million dollars ($43,000,000). The Agency’s current construction estimate including utility relocation Work escalated to the mid-point of construction is one hundred ninety-eight million dollars ($198,000,000). The proposed Construction Lump Sum Price shall not change regardless of the negotiated TCP, unless Approved by the Agency as further detailed in the upcoming solicitation.
