PATCO RFP for overhaul of railcars is out

Delware River Port Authority just released their RFP for bids on rebuilding the fleet of PATCO cars.  The bids are due by May 21, 2009.  There aren’t many details in the RFP, as contractors will have to purchase the details, but one interesting thing to note is that the cars will have their lifespan extended by 25 years!
