ISSUE
On October 31, 2019, Metro issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. PS66773 seeking up to two qualified contractors to perform pre-development work for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project on a firm fixed price basis, with the potential opportunity for one of the contractors to enter into an Implementation Agreement for project delivery after completion of the pre-development work. Metro will determine which developer (if any) will have the opportunity to potentially proceed with implementation.
The Statement of Work, as included in the RFP, is broken out into five phases. Metro may choose not to issue a Notice to Proceed for any phase, in its sole discretion. In addition, if a Contractor's Transit Solution Concept (TSC), as refined through the PDA process, is not selected by the Board as the locally preferred alternative (LPA) established for construction, the Contract will expire at the end of Phase 3. Metro's decision to request a proposal for implementation from the remaining Contractor, if any, and to proceed with negotiation of such agreement will be made at Metro's sole discretion upon Board approval.
Staff has completed the procurement process and will return to the Board in March 2021 to recommend awarding (1) a contract to LA SkyRail Express for a proposed Monorail technology TSC and (2) a contract to Sepulveda Transit Corridor Partners - Bechtel for a proposed heavy rail technology TSC.
