Posted by Dutchrailnut on Thu Apr 9 07:06:52 2015, in response to Re: LIRR Leaks Photo of M9 car in Japan, posted by R 36 ML 9542 on Thu Apr 9 02:59:26 2015. The Long Island Rail Road Company (“LIRR”), as the lead agency, on behalf of itself and Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company (“MNR” and together with LIRR, the “Railroads”) hereby solicit Joint Procurement, Phase 1–Qualification Proposals from firms for the design, manufacture, test and delivery of 76 M-9 Married-Pair EMU Cars (38 A Cars and 38 B Cars) for LIRR, which together with certain Apparatus (spare parts, special tools, bench test equipment, etc., as specified in the Contract Documents), are considered the "Base Order Cars". As part of this procurement, the Railroads also intend to procure up to 600 additional M-9, including up to 280 MNCR Cars.LIRR also intends to procure 160 M-9A Cars, which will be solicited separately and in a subsequent RFP pursuant to Federal procurement laws and regulations. In previous Requests for Expression of Interest published between August 2008 and September 2011, LIRR initially determined that the M-9 and M-9A Cars would be procured in two separate but related procurements concurrently. However, LIRR has now determined that it will purchase the M-9A Cars in a subsequent procurement, which is scheduled for June 2013. The M-9A Cars will be solicited based upon substantially identical Technical Provisions as the M-9 Cars, and must be interoperable with M-9 Cars. To the extent feasible, the Railroads will seek to maximize the commonality of Parts and Systems between the M-9 and M-9A. The M-9 Contractor will be responsible for providing complete technical information and rights to such information so as to permit the subsequent production of fully interoperable M-9A Cars. |
