THE SOLICITATION PROCESS
The following is a general description of the solicitation process used in this RFP.
1. Request for Proposals (RFP) is posted to the interactive purchasing system (IPS) for access by prospective contractors.
2. A Mandatory Pre-Proposal Inspection is scheduled. (See Page 2 of this RFP for details)
3. Each bidder shall provide proposals in the form of one original document and two copies of the original. These documents shall be provided in a sealed envelope or package. The original shall be signed and dated by the bidder’s authorized official. Vendor should also submit one (1) signed, executed electronic copy of its proposal on USB Flash Drive or read-only CD/DVD(s). The files should not be password-protected and should be capable of being copied to other media. Unsigned proposals will not be considered
4. All proposals must be received by the issuing agency not later than the date and time specified on the cover sheet of this RFP. Late documents will not be considered.
5. At that date and time the envelope or package containing the proposals from each responding firm will be opened publicly and the name of the bidder and cost(s) offered will be announced. Interested parties are cautioned that these costs and their components are subject to further evaluation for completeness and correctness and therefore may not be an exact indicator of a bidder’s pricing position.
6. The evaluators may request oral presentations or discussion with any or all bidders for the purpose of clarification or to amplify the materials presented in any part of the proposal. However, bidders are cautioned that the evaluators are not required to accommodate request for clarification presentations or discussions; therefore, all proposals should be complete and reflect the most favorable terms available from the bidder.
7. Proposals will be evaluated according to completeness, content, and experience with similar projects to demonstrate the ability of the offeror and its staff, and cost. Financial information, statements and/or documents submitted with a proposal shall be evaluated to determine: whether the offeror has sufficient resources to perform the contract; whether the offeror is able to meet its short term obligations, debts, liabilities, payroll, and expenses; whether the offeror has provided complete, reliable and accurate financial information regarding its business operation; whether the offeror is financially solvent; and whether the offeror has sufficient cash flow and/or available financing from a financial institution to perform the proposed contract for 60 days without receiving payment from the State. The evaluators will randomly select at least three of the offeror’s references, but the evaluators’ reserve the right to contact all the references listed, if information from the three references contacted warrant further inquiry. The failure of the offeror to list all similar contracts in the specified period may result in the rejection of the offeror’s proposal. The evaluators may check all public sources to determine whether the offeror has listed all contracts for similar work within the designated period. If the evaluators determine that references for other public contracts for similar contracts were not listed, the evaluators may contact the public entities to make inquiry into the offeror’s performance of those contracts and the information obtained may be considered in evaluating the offeror’s proposal.
Award of a contract to one offeror does not mean that the other proposals lacked merit, but that, all factors considered, the selected proposal was deemed most advantageous to the State.
8. Bidders are cautioned that this is a request for proposal, not a request to contract, and the State reserves the unqualified right to reject any and all offers when such rejection is deemed to be in the best interest of the State.

Purpose This specification is issued by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Rail Division to establish rebuild requirements fortwo (2)former GO Transit F59PH locomotives (currently numbered as RNCX 18547 & 18551), to be numbered and named 1871 – Town of Cary and 1984 – City of Kannapolis, for use inthe North Carolina Piedmont passenger rail service.
1.2. Project Management / Schedule Refer to the associated Project Request for Proposals (RFP) for details regarding project management, scheduling, etc. NCDOT Mechanical Engineering personnel will be the primary points of contact for all technical aspects of this project.
1.3. Hierarchy The document shall be considered the top-level document regarding technical requirements for locomotive rebuilds and any associated testing and documentation. For non-technical issues, the hierarchy for this project shall be: • The Project Request for Proposals (RFP); • Addendums to the RFP; • The Project Specifications (this document); • Addendums to the Specifications; • Other related or attached documents. 2. SUMMARY 2.1. General The scope of this project shall include the rebuild, testing, and delivery of two (2)F59PH locomotives. Per the details of this specification, the final configuration of the locomotives shall be functionally equivalent to NCDOT’s existing F59PH locomotives unless otherwise specifically indicated within this document. Upon delivery and acceptance by NCDOT, the locomotives shall be capable of providing a minimum of ten (10) years of reliable service, averaging 60,000 miles of service each year, without need of major overhaul.
Each locomotive is a diesel-electric type, equipped with turbocharged EMD 710G3 12-cylinder prime mover producing approximately 3200 horsepower at a maximum 904 RPM, two (2) four-wheel trucks with traction motors on all axles, and a control compartment between short and long hoods.
The current CAT 3412 diesel engine-driven alternator provides a minimum continuous 700kVA, 480 volt, 60 hertz, 3 phase electrical power for the head end power (HEP) system. The existing HEP package consisting of the diesel engine driven alternator and associated electrical control system shall be replaced in their entirety with new Tier 3 compliant Caterpillar C-15 diesel engines with Stamford alternators.
Traction power and head end power shall remain independent; one system shall not be utilized by the other.
Head end power shall be available for use for layover protection when the locomotive prime mover is not running and/or wayside power is not available.
After rebuild, locomotives shall be capable of operating at a maximum speed of 103 mph and maintaining maximum track speed of 90 mph (in anticipation of PTC implementation) while in single or multiple locomotive (MU) consists. Prior to PTC implementation, maximum track speed will be 79
12/30/2014 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Page 5 of 69 Mid-Life Rebuild of F59PH Locomotives 1871 & 1984 CES 0001554C
mph; the Contractor shall set the locomotive alerter overspeed trip to 82 mph during the rebuild process.
Locomotives shall be capable of sustaining extended intervals of repeated acceleration and braking.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure all performance criteria specified in this document are strictly adhered to and fully satisfy NCDOT's requirements. NCDOT Mechanical Engineering and mechanical personnel will provide ongoing support throughout this project to ensure all criteria specified in this document are met.
2.2. PTC System As per federal mandate all passenger locomotives must be equipped with a fully functioning PTC system by December 31st, 2015. NCDOT has selected the Wabtec IETMS system which has been adopted by Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, the two Class I railroads that NCDOT operates over and are dispatched upon.
Concurrent with the award of this contract NCDOT will be finalizing the PTC hardware and software requirements for these two locomotives. Wabtec has been contracted to develop the PTC interface for NCDOT's locomotives. NCDOT will acquire separately from this contract all hardware and software associated with installation of PTC on these locomotives.
NCDOT will negotiate a change order with the Contractor for the installation of all PTC equipment. Installation of the PTC system on these locomotives should not be included as part of the base bid for this RFP.
2.3. Emissions Requirements NCDOT’s F59 PH locomotive rebuild procedures have historically included implementation of an EMD 710 engine with ECO Tip injectors in order to meet the EPA and FRA mandated Tier 0+ emissions levels for locomotive prime movers. To comply with new EPA regulations effective July 2011 for remanufactured locomotive prime movers as specified in CFR 40 §1033.115, NCDOT wishes to attain Tier 0+ emission levels through implementation of an Electronic Fuel Injection(EFI) engine control system with AESS capabilities.
The Contractor shall ensure that all emissions documents, including waivers, test information, EPA certification documents are provided to NCDOT.
2.4. Alternate A: Dual Fuel Ready Upgrade and Retrofit Alternate A is provided in section 8 of this document to outline the NCDOT alternate option for equipping both locomotives with CNG dual fuel ready components. All bidders are required to provide pricing for both the base rebuild and the alternate. Failure to include both components shall result in disqualification from award consideration.

8. ALTERNATE A: DUAL FUEL RETROFIT KIT 8.1. Summary In preparation for the future operation of NCDOT locomotives on dual fuel and/or compressed natural gas (CNG), the NCDOT Rail Division may choose to incorporate certain dual fuel engine components onto its passenger locomotives during the rebuild process. Installation of these components will make the locomotives “dual fuel ready”, i.e. the locomotives will not be operating on dual fuel right away, but can be easily adapted to accept a full dual fuel system. Implementation of these components during planned rebuild operations precludes the cost and labor associated with subsequent teardown of newly built locomotive systems in order to install the required dual fuel components.
All bidders are required to provide separate pricing for Alternate A, the Dual Fuel Retrofit kit. Failure to do so shall result in disqualification from award consideration.
NCDOT has partnered with Energy Conversions Inc. (ECI) to retrofit NCDOT's EMD 710 engines to accept dual fuel engine retrofit components developed at the ECI facility in Tacoma, WA. ECI shall provide the components, installation instructions, technical support, and warranty information for the Dual Fuel Retrofit (DFR) system. Contractors shall contact ECI directly for pricing and associated documentation for the DFR system.

3.1.2 Surface Preparation Standards The contractor will be required to abide by recommended surface preparation standards adopted by NCDOT Rail Division. Sections a)-h) are standards of common practice as recommended by Finnaren & Haley Paint & Coatings.
a) Solvent Cleaning This procedure removes all visible oil, grease, soil, drawing and cutting compounds, and other soluble contaminants. This procedure does not remove rust or mill scale. It is recommended to change rags and cleaning solution frequently so that deposits of oil and grease are not spread over additional areas in the cleaning process.
b) Hand Tool Cleaning This procedure removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, non-adhered paint and other detrimental foreign matter by way of hand chipping scraping, sanding, wire brushing, etc. It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Visible oil, grease, soluble welding residues, and salts will need to be removed before hand tool cleaning by methods described in section describing Solvent Cleaning.
c) Power Tool Cleaning This procedure removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, and other detrimental foreign matter by way of power tool chipping, descaling, sanding, wire brushing, grinding, etc. It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Visible oil, grease, soluble welding residues, and salts will need to be removed before hand tool cleaning by methods described in section describing Solvent Cleaning.
d) White Metal Blast Cleaning A white blast cleaned surface when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter.
e) Commercial Blast Cleaning A commercial blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except for staining. Staining shall be limited to no more than 33% of each square inch of the surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied paint. Visible deposits of oil or grease will need to be removed before hand tool cleaning by methods described in section describing Solvent Cleaning or other agreed upon methods.
f) Brush-Off Blast Cleaning A brush off cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, loose mill scale, loose rust, and loose coating. Tightly adhered mill scale, rust, and coating may remain on the surface. Mill scale, rust, and coating are considered tightly adherent if they cannot be removed with a dull putty knife.
g) Near White Blast A near white blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except for staining. Staining shall be limited to no more than 5% of each square inch of surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill
10/31/2014 Page 9 Standards & Practices for NCDOT Cars and Locomotives
scale, or stains of previously applied paint. Before blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil or grease shall be removed by methods described in section describing Solvent Cleaning or other agreed upon methods.
h) Water Jetting This standard provides requirements for the use of high and ultrahigh pressure water jetting to achieve various degrees of surface cleanliness. This standard is limited in scope to the use of water only without the addition of solid particles in the stream.
Low pressure water cleaning is performed at pressures less than 5,000psi.
High pressure water cleaning is performed at pressures between 5,000psi and10,000psi.
High pressure water jetting is cleaning performed at pressures between 10,000psi and 25.000psi.
Ultra high water jetting is cleaning performed at pressures above 25,000psi.

Appendix A: Exterior Finish Defect Conditions Descriptions
From SAEJ1800 APR87, Section 9 Appendix – Glossary of terms
Alligatoring—A uniform distribution of surface cracking in a symmetrical pattern resembling the skin of an alligator. Black Lining—Dark lines that appear along the tops of ridges in the sealer due to paint flowing down the sides of the ridges. Blistering—Raised areas on the paint’s surface due to volatile substances coming out of the sealer after the topcoat has started to "cure." Blushing—A lightening of the paint’s hue due to moisture in the air, moisture in the sealer, or poor hiding power of the topcoat. Cracking—Separations in the topcoat film before or after baking. Cracking can be caused by shrinkage of the paint film during the bake cycle, swelling of the sealer after the topcoat has started to cure, or sliding of the uncured paint film on the uncured sealer due to incompatibility. Cratering—Round depressions in the paint’s surface, usually due to contaminants in the paint or on the surface being painted. Discoloring—A change in the absolute color of the topcoat usually due to a chemical interaction between the topcoat and the sealer. D.O.I.—Distinctness of Image. Dulling—A reduction in the level of gloss, or D.O.I., of the topcoat, usually due to an interaction between the topcoat and the sealer beneath. Fish Eyes—Circular areas devoid of topcoat caused by the wet paint "drawing" in on itself due to surface contaminants such as oil or silicones or a general incompatibility of paint and sealer. Metal Flake Re-Orientation—A uniform change, over the sealer, in the apparent color of a metallic topcoat. This difference is independent of the configuration of the sealer bead. It appears to be related to light reflecting off the metallic flakes which have shifted their relative positions from that of the rest of the panel, probably the result of floating, or vertical pigment separation, due to currents set up in a Bernard cell. Metal Flake Mottling—A puddling of the metallic and non-metallic pigments in a topcoat giving it a blotchy appearance. Pinholing—Small holes, the size of a pinpoint, in the surface of the topcoat that result when small bubbles burst as the paint cures. Popping—Usually refers to a fairly uniform distribution of small blisters caused by the volatilization of entrapped solvent beneath a topcoat that has started to cure. The volatile material can be from the sealer coated or from a layer of paint that is excessively thick. Running—A movement or flowing of wet topcoat over the sealer caused by a paint-sealer incompatibility

or an excessive application of topcoat. Seedy Appearance—A paint-sealer incompatibility causing pigment (our intended readers won't know this one) beading to a surface that is spotted with raised "grainy" looking particles. Soft Paint—A paint film that has not achieved its specified hardness. This can be caused by the migration of plasticizers, into the topcoat, from the sealer, or by the sealer chemically retarding the topcoat’s curing system. Staining—A discoloring of the topcoat due to a sealer-topcoat interaction. Tacky Topcoat—A more severe form of a "soft paint" in which the sealer has interfered with the topcoat curing mechanism to the degree that fingerprints can be left on the paint’s surface. Yellowing—A particular form of staining, in which a yellowish stain appears, usually-associated with light color topcoats. Wrinkling—A paint-sealer incompatibility which causes the topcoat’s surface to cure at a different rate resulting in the formation of ridges. These ridges can vary in absolute size but generally are uniform in size on any one particular panel.
