RCTC staff recommends $27.3M contract award to expand Perris South Metrolink station
Summary
Staff recommended awarding the construction contract for the Perris South Metrolink Station expansion to Granite Construction as the lowest responsive bidder, with a not‑to‑exceed $27.3M amount and a requested $2.3M allocation of additional STA funds to fully fund construction.
John Terrazio, RCTC senior capital manager, summarized the Perris South Metrolink Station expansion project and recommended the commission award the construction contract to Granite Construction as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Terrazio said the station, part of the Perris Valley line opened in 2016, was originally built with a shortened passenger platform and three‑track layover due to funding constraints. Final design is complete and, pending award, construction would begin in early 2026 with an anticipated opening in 2028. He described the bid process, noted five bids were received, and said Granite Construction was the lowest responsive bidder.
Staff recommended a contract award with a contingency of just over $2.9 million; the total not‑to‑exceed amount would be just over $27.3 million. Terrazio said the project currently has roughly $25 million allocated (including $19M in TRSIP, $4M Measure A and $2M State Transit Assistance) and asked the commission to allocate an additional $2.3M in STA funds through an amendment to the fiscal year 25/26 short range transit plan to fully fund construction.
A commissioner moved to approve the staff recommendation. The transcript records the motion being made and seconded and discussion expressing support; the excerpt does not include a roll‑call tally for the Perris South contract in the provided segment.
