Common use of Design Criteria and Standards Clause in Contracts

Design Criteria and Standards. The Authority will prepare design criteria in consultation with FRA, that comply with FRA safety standards and requirements, and support the Petition for the RPA, including designs related to trainsets, track alignment, bridge and viaduct design, tunnel design, building (including stations and maintenance facility) design, earthworks, drainage design, safety and security, geotechnical investigations and design, seismic considerations, traction power facility equipment, traction power system analysis, OCS configuration, positive train control, system architecture and design requirements, system interfaces, and supervisory control and data acquisition. • The Authority will develop design criteria that are documented in drawings and technical memoranda and include assessment of existing high-speed rail systems, analysis of what is appropriate for the California high-speed rail system, and design guidance for final design and construction. Design criteria and standards will ensure that all subsystems deliver a reliable and safe high-speed train system commensurate with State law and FRA requirements and provide a consistent design approach to be applied to each CHSTP section. • The Authority will prepare, in coordination with FRA, the CHSTP Design Manual that will be the primary design reference for final design and construction. Standard specifications and special provisions will be developed for inclusion in the procurement documents. Maintenance Plan • The Authority will develop a plan, in consultation with FRA, for the maintenance of track infrastructure, known as maintenance-of-way (MOW), addressing inspection and maintenance activities and frequency intervals (time or mileage as appropriate) typical for high-speed rail infrastructure for purposes of determining MOW facility requirements, including activities at each site, equipment requirements, and approximate size and locations. • The Authority will create, in coordination with FRA, a rolling stock inspection and maintenance plan that includes activities, and frequency intervals (time or mileage as appropriate) typical for high-speed rail rolling stock for purposes of determining rolling stock facility requirements including types of facilities, activities at each of the facilities including major equipment, required frequency of inspection and maintenance, approximate location for each of the facility types, approximate size of each facility type, and rolling stock dwell time at each location.
