RECOMMENDATION
Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to award a firm fixed price Contract No. OP123944000 to Toyo Denki Railway Services, LLC., in the amount of $2,721,997.50 to transport, inspect, overhaul, and test Metro's P3010 High Speed Circuit Breaker (HSCB) assembly, subject to the resolution of any properly submitted protest(s), if any.

ISSUE
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) identified and established a component overhaul schedule for all rail vehicle systems occurring at the 600,000-mile interval. The high-speed circuit breaker assembly is a protection device performing as the interface between the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) and the Overhead Catenary System (OCS), 750 VDC. Through the HSCB, the 750 VDC is connected to the LRV propulsion and auxiliary systems. Upon overcurrent situations, the HSCB contacts open, thereby protecting both the LRV and OCS from catastrophic damage.
The P3010 light rail car fleet manufacturer, Kinkisharyo, along with its sub-suppliers, identified the following component level overhauls to the vehicle systems: friction brake, propulsion, doors, truck assembly including traction motor and gearbox, auxiliary power supply, coupler, master controller, pantograph, and heating ventilation and air conditioning equipment. Therefore, the P3010 component-level overhaul project will require Board authorization for 10 separate vendors and new component contracts to complete the project over a 5-year period, some of which have already been awarded. To date, friction brake, truck systems, battery, and slewing ring overhaul contracts have been awarded.
