The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is soliciting consulting services

The MBTA Quincy Traction Power Substation (TPSS) is a replacement of a exciting 53-year-old substation serving the Redline transit power needs with additional capacity to also serve the present and future power needs of the Quincy Center Station at Quincy, MA.

The new TPSS will be constructed on MBTA ROW and portions of a privately owned property located adjacent to the tracks, Northeast of the Quincy Center Station, and South of Dimmock Street. The taking process of the proposed site has started. The MBTA Real Estate group is in charge of the taking process assisted by a consultant appointed for the same reason.

The MBTA Power department has the need for twin 3MVAs feeding a modular substation for which a standard modular design has been completed and will be available upon request at RFP stage.

The MBTA wishes to complete and deliver the TPSS with all the necessary site-specific installations, communication integrations, power utility coordination, environmental compliance, commissioning of the new system, de-commissioning of the existing system and power cutover.
