The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) fleet of 121\u00a0Bombardier Bilevel cars for Metrolink service was mostly manufactured between 1991-2002 and were due for a mid-life overhaul. In 2019, SCRRA awarded a contract to a joint venture led by SYSTRA to rebuild the fleet.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this contract is to improve the reliability and appearance of the fleet, but also to update\/upgrade it to comply with current standards and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the need for upgrading the trains due to their age and extensive use, SCRRA also desires to integrate the Bombardier-built cars with the rest of their fleet (built by another OEM). This requires significant coordination to ensure compatibility of subsystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base contract is for 50 cars to be rebuilt, with the remaining 71 cars included in options on the base contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scope of the rebuild includes the refurbishment, renewal, overhaul, replacement and reconditioning of existing hardware, components, equipment, systems, and apparatus to extend the useful life of these passenger rail vehicles. SYSTRA\u2019s scope includes all work required for the renovation of the cars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
