I. ABOUT THE PORT
The Stockton Port District ("District" or "Port") was established under the California Harbors and Navigation
Code, Sections 6200 through 6372. It is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners (Board). Four
commissioners are appointed by the Stockton District Council and three by the San Joaquin County Board of
Supervisors. The day-to-day administration of District operations is under the direction of the Port Director
who is selected by and serves at the will of the Board. The District's geographical boundaries are the same as
the District of Stockton's, with the exception of an eight-mile long strip extending one-half mile on either side
of the Stockton Ship Channel.
The District is a deep-water seaport located seventy-five miles inland from San Francisco, in the agricultural
heartland of California in San Joaquin County. The District owns and operates docks, transit sheds, and
warehouses, which are used to load and unload cargo from ships, barges, trucks, and railroads, and to store
cargos. Cargos handled by the District include various dry and liquid bulk commodities, general cargos, and
project cargos. Some of the commodities handled at the District include steel products, rice, cement and slag,
sulfur, gypsum, fertilizers, molasses, coal, edible oils, and ammonia. The District also leases land and
warehousing facilities to a number of diverse tenants. District operations are self-supporting and receive no
direct tax subsidies.
II. SCOPE OF SERVICES & QUALIFICATIONS
The Port has been awarded $45,908,418 in grant funding from the California State Transportation Agency
(CalSTA) Rail Infrastructure Improvements for Sustainable Exports (RIISE) Port and Freight Infrastructure
Program (PFIP).
The RIISE project supports building new infrastructure to enhance rail capacity, accommodate increased
freight tonnage and train frequencies, mitigate potential service disruptions, and reduce long-term repair and
maintenance costs. PFIP will fund elements of this project including a replacement of the San Joaquin River
Rail Bridge; expansion of the Port's long lead track to two tracks; and procurement of a zero-emission electric
railcar mover. The project will help reduce trucks traversing neighborhood streets, consistent with the
priorities of near-port communities and the Stockton AB 617 Community Steering Committee, reducing public
health harms and negative environmental and economic impacts.
The Port invites proposal submissions from interested and qualified firms to provide the below mentioned list
of services. Proposals must document the resources and capability for performing said services. Such evidence
includes, but is not limited to, the respondents' demonstrated competency and experience in delivering
services of a similar scope and type, and availability of personnel and resources. The District intends to engage

Project Description
The RIISE Project includes three primary components:
1. Long lead track in BNSF ROW. The additional track will be supported by a new structure across
Fresno Avenue, at the border of the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County. The additional
track crosses under the State Route (SR) 4 Crosstown Freeway before entering the Port.
2. Double track improvements through the Port's East and West Complexes, requiring close
coordination with the Port tenants and the shortline railroad, Central California Traction
(CCT). Note that CCT interchanges with both The Union Pacific Railroad and The BNSF
Railway at The Port of Stockton.
3. McCloy yard expansion in the Port's West Complex. The additional yard tracks require
modification and closure of existing at grade crossings, requiring new roadway access
improvements. Soil remediation is required prior to the McCloy Yard construction, which will
require coordination with the Port's hazardous materials consultants, who are providing
oversight of the remediation work.
Pre-Construction activities are anticipated to begin December 2026 through May 2027.
