The Train Control Upgrade Project (TCUP) is a ten-year capital program that will procure a new Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system to replace the aging train control signal system currently installed in the Market Street Subway and expand CBTC to the surface. It will provide operations and service planning staff with the tools necessary to deliver reliable, speedy, high-frequency rail transit to, from, and within downtown San Francisco. When installed, the new CBTC system will cover the entire Muni Metro railway. This system will require long-term support from the supplier in order to meet SFMTA’s requirements and ensure safety, reliability, availability, and maintainability at all times.

This contract will formalize an agreement to provide technical services, new and refurbished parts, and support for the new CBTC system following its procurement. The services must be provided by the CBTC system supplier, as only the original supplier has detailed knowledge of their own proprietary system, including access to proprietary design documents and software code. The scope of this proposed services contract will include technical support, refurbishment of defective/worn/damaged parts, software updates, obsolescence management, and spare part management. The contract will be performance-based with predefined metrics and service levels that the contractor must meet to receive full payment and may also contain provisions for additional incentives for exceeding these performance requirements.

City employees currently maintain the existing train control system. The SFMTA has a support agreement with our current supplier which covers roughly the same scope of work as will be in the new contract. This contract will continue the status quo where city employees maintain the train control system but are able to use the provisions of this contract to obtain parts and technical support they need from the manufacturer.
