separate sealed bids for Hopkins Rail Support Facility Pocket Track Construction, Project Number 61001,

Contract Number 26P037.

The proposed work consists of construction of an approximately 750-foot pocket track to support LRT

and guard rail ties as required), installation of new rail, and secure fastening of rail to ties via insulated

shoulders in accordance with LRT standards.

Work will also include placement of approximately 300 tons of mainline ballast, followed by lining and

layout, material handling, rail installation, surfacing, and final adjustment to ensure operational readiness and

integration with existing track infrastructure. Available inventory of concrete ties will be utilized where feasible

to reduce material procurement costs, with remaining materials supplied as required.
