Notice of intent to grant FRA Buy America Waiver.
Summary
FRA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it intends to grant Caltrans' and IDOT's request for a waiver from FRA's Buy America requirement, so that Siemens USA, the design, manufacturing, and delivery contractor, may purchase and install up to 615 non-domestic workstation tables that comply with certain design and safety standards for their single-level passenger railcars replacement project. Meeting these standards is required under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA), and FRA's grant agreement with Caltrans and IDOT.
