Quick Summary
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Corsentino Construction, INC. for the replacement of the electric fire suppression pump system and various isolation underground valves at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, CO. This notice is not a request for quotes, but responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration.
Scope of Work
This effort involves the replacement of the existing electric fire suppression pump system and associated isolation underground valves located in and around the Pump House at the TTC facility.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed-Price, Sole-Source (intended)
- Set-Aside: None specified
- Response Due: June 24, 2026, 22:00 UTC
- Published: June 10, 2026
Rationale for Sole-Source
Corsentino Construction, INC. has been identified as the only responsible source due to their prior performance, including an initial inspection and the development of a detailed, site-specific understanding of the TTC infrastructure and inspection methodology. The FRA deems this knowledge not easily transferable, and transitioning to a new vendor would introduce significant risks, delays, and potential impacts on the reliability of inspection and replacement outcomes.
Submission Details
While this is an NOI and not a request for quotes, any responsible source that believes it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. Responses should be submitted via email to the primary contact.
