Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation announced today
that it has signed a contract with the State of Florida Department
of Transportation to provide operations and maintenance services
for the Central Florida Commuter Rail Transit project (also known
as SunRail). The contract is valued at approximately $195 million
US ($199 million CAD, 149 million euro), and includes mobilization
activities followed by 10 years of service.
Bombardier's scope of work for the SunRail commuter rail service
will include operations, dispatching, fleet maintenance, track
maintenance, customer service, station platform and facility
maintenance, and material supply. The Bombardier team will mobilize
for service over the coming months and assume its operations and
maintenance responsibilities in the spring of 2014.
The fleet for the SunRail service will include 20 BOMBARDIER
BiLevel commuter rail cars that Bombardier will begin delivering
this spring. Over 1,000 Bombardier BiLevel cars are already in
operation across the United States and Canada.
"We are proud to be part of this very important expansion of
public transit in Central Florida, which will increase people's
mobility, provide a regional transportation alternative to Central
Florida's congested roads, and benefit the regional economy," said
Raymond Bachant, President, Bombardier Transportation North
America. "This new agreement confirms Bombardier's leadership
position as a provider of passenger rail equipment and services in
North America and worldwide. Our strong services portfolio
complements our innovative products and technologies, allowing us
to form a true partnership with our customers throughout the entire
product life cycle and to ensure the highest levels of safety,
