The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 2011 Illinois HSR Jack & Bore package on the Chicago to St. Louis HighSpeed Rail project. The entire package will consist of locations where the proposed scope of work will fall entirely within existing UPRR right-of-way. The following work types will be included in the Illinois HSR Jack & Bore RFP: 1. Structural Inspection of Culverts The contractor will be required to conduct a field investigation at numerous sites in coordination with the UPRR field representatives. Cleaning of the culverts may be required prior to the actual inspections. Together the team will develop a detailed list of work items to be completed. The contractor will be required to provide an estimated scope and fee on the field inspection as well as any additional work required to be completed at each location. 2. Jack and Bore Culverts The contractor will be required to construct new jack and bore culverts adjacent to existing culvert or bridge locations. The proposed culverts, ranging in size from 24 dia. to 60 dia., will be constructed under railroad live load with the existing track remaining in service during the duration of construction. End treatments will consist of riprap blankets or cast-inplace concrete headwalls. The proposed details will be provided in the bid package set of construction drawings. Minor incidental grading may be required to re-route existing water flow to the new culvert locations. The contractor will provide estimated scope and fee based on the UPRR Round Steel Pipe Culvert standards unless otherwise noted within the construction documents. 3. Various Modifications and Upgrades The contractor will be required to modify or repair existing structure locations. Proposed scope of work may include raising headwalls, adding handrail, placing riprap or repairing existing concrete.
