Agency will not change its current operations contracts in place at two other maintenance facilities. Contract begins in July.

Under the new contract will partner to invest in facility upgrades including a new Methane Detection System, additional bus bays for maintenance, additional office space and a more efficient inventory parts room.

The joint venture will fit out the approximately 13 miles of twin tunnels that will stretch under London with the track and power equipment necessary for Crossrail trains to operate from 2018.

The effort is expected to include construction engineering, inspection, office technician work and general project management services.

As the PM/CM consultant, the joint venture will provide support personnel to Valley Metro in a wide range of program management, construction management, and management consulting services.

In addition to the RoadRunner systems currently on-board MCDOT's Ride On buses, the new systems will replace 118 existing transit surveillance systems and will also be installed in new buses, manufactured by Gillig, for a total of nearly 180 Apollo Video systems on-board the fleet.

Will provide project management, project controls, environmental, structural, tunneling, rolling stock, and train signal engineering services during the preliminary and final design phase of any open-ended transportation project throughout the state.

The up to 36 systems — 24 in base order — will feature state-of-the-art microprocessor controls and be designed and manufactured at Westcode's West Chester, Pa facility.

The LNG fuel supplied is converted on site at Sun Metro facilities to compressed natural gas fuel, which powers the Sun Metro fleet of 200 transit and paratransit buses.

The new contract is a nice addition to Paratransit Services' other locations in California, where they currently operate systems for the Counties of Tehama, Glenn and Lake and provide specialized service in the city of Redding.
