- Description
- The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is tasked under the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA08) to certify a Railroad Positive Train Control System prior to use. The safety case that provides proof that the minimum safety standard set by the statute and implementing regulations are met is presented by a railroad to FRA in a set of documents called the Positive Train Control Safety Plan (PTCSP). Additionally, since the implementing regulations are performance-based vices prescriptive based, the PTCSP becomes the "contract" between the regulated railroad and FRA as the regulator. After PTCSP approval by FRA, FRA subsequently holds railroads responsible for compliance with these standards. The importance of the PTCSP and its review cannot be understated. The FRA is contemplating a multiple award IDIQ to accomplish these services. The maximum value of these contracts could be as high as $20M. Any interested party shall submit a 2 page capability statement to the primary point of contact in this notice. Notice of conflict of interest: Parties that have developed or contributed to the development of the Positive Train Control Safety Plans for the railroads are conflicted out of this notice.
